Generating CSS dynamically / Setting a content type

Friday 18 March 2005 12:12:38 am

Hi,

I am generating CSS stylesheets dynamically in eZ publish. This is somewhat related to Jason's post: http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/image_links_within_a_linked_css_file

I am doing this to set background images on menu items, etc. and don't want to mess up the html.

All is rather straightforward: I edited layout.ini.append.php for the user site to include the following

[css]
PageLayout=css_pagelayout.tpl

Then, I use css_pagelayout.tpl to create the CSS I need. eZ publish is such a great tool.

The only thing that does not work ok is that eZ publish sets the Content-Type header to text/html, and I cannot find any place to change this.

Has anyone created an alternative layout for a site that uses another content type? I have searched the eZ publish site, but I cannot find any hints.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Paul,

thanks for your reply.

I don't think I'm firm enough with eZ publish to meddle with the index.php.

I have tested several browsers in the meantime, and they do not seem to bother about the Content-Type header that comes with a CSS in a <link/> tag. I'll rather rely on that behaviour until I have read and understood more of the eZ publish sources.

Cheers,
Ben
