definitive answer please to modifying templates and stylesheets of ezflow extension

Monday 21 February 2011 11:41:58 am

Hi,

I've installed ezPublish 4.4 using ezflow_clean.

I've spent ages trying to understand how to use my own templates and stylesheets.

Can someone please give me the definitive steps to follow?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Thank you for your help.

I followed your steps but the only way I got it to use my templates work was to use the path:
/extension/my_design/design/ezwebin/templates

If I didn't specify 'ezwebin' in the path it didn't work.

I have placed 2 stylesheets (site-colors.css and classes-colors.css) at /extension/my_design/design/ezwebin/stylesheets but unfortunately they're not being picked up. If I vew the source of the web page I can see the following

<<span class="start-tag">link</span><span class="attribute-name"> rel</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"stylesheet" </span><span class="attribute-name">type</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"text/css" </span><span class="attribute-name">href</span><span>="</span><a href="view-source:http://www.usincare.org.uk/var/storage/packages/eZ-systems/ezflow_design/files/default/file/classes-colors.css" mce_href="view-source:http://www.usincare.org.uk/var/storage/packages/eZ-systems/ezflow_design/files/default/file/classes-colors.css">/var/storage/packages/eZ-systems/ezflow_design/files/default/file/classes-colors.css</a><span>" </span><span class="error"><span class="attribute-name">/</span></span>>
<<span class="start-tag">link</span><span class="attribute-name"> rel</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"stylesheet" </span><span class="attribute-name">type</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"text/css" </span><span class="attribute-name">href</span><span>="</span><a href="view-source:http://www.usincare.org.uk/var/storage/packages/eZ-systems/ezflow_design/files/default/file/site-colors.css" mce_href="view-source:http://www.usincare.org.uk/var/storage/packages/eZ-systems/ezflow_design/files/default/file/site-colors.css">/var/storage/packages/eZ-systems/ezflow_design/files/default/file/site-colors.css</a><span>" </span><span class="error"><span class="attribute-name">/</span></span>>

The web site is at: http://www.usincare.org.uk/index.php

Can you help me with getting my stylesheets to be used please?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

I think you should first rename your design extension like this:

extension/usincare/design/usincare/

In extension/usincare/settings/design.ini.append.php you should have:
DesignExtensions[]=usincare

You should also have an identical named siteaccess:
settings/siteaccess/usincare/

Then in step 7:
SiteDesign=usincare

In your settings/siteaccess/usincare/design.ini.append.php you may declare your styles and javascripts like this:

[JavaScriptSettings]
JavaScriptList[]=video.js
JavaScriptList[]=fonts/MgOpen_Moderna_400.font.js

Then you can load your stylesheets by overriding the page_head_style.tpl like this:

{ezcss_load( array( 'debug.css',
'custom.css',
'screen.css',
'websitetoolbar.css',
ezini( 'StylesheetSettings', 'CSSFileList', 'design.ini' )
))}

and your javascripts by overriding the page_head_script.tpl:

{ezscript_load( ezini( 'JavaScriptSettings', 'JavaScriptList', 'design.ini' ) )}

Good luck!
