I have a simple flask application. It has flask-bootstrap installed and so I can access some CSS classes from there and my own style sheet in my static folder. However, I want to be able to add another stylesheet from a CDN in my index.html file.
I usually do something like place the following inside head tags.:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
Is this possible? I don't think that using the
{{url_for('static' )}}
syntax would work here and I haven't found anything online that's describing what i'm doing (or I couldn't tell).
Yes, this is how I do it too. And then I link to my own stylesheet after the Bootstrap CDN.
Edit: and if you use a base template that is being extended by multiple templates for sub pages you can put the head tag in the base template so it precedes all templates.
I'm working on a Wordpress theme and I have downloaded the Compiled CSS and JS files from getbootstrap official website.
I have moved all the files to my Theme directory, more specifically to /bootstrap/css and bootstrap/js accordingly.
When I call the file in my header.php, nothing happens. But if I use Bootstrap CDN the test website works. The solution might be obvious, but I'm simply not seeing it.
in header.php
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link href=”bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js”></script>
Edit: Yes, the files bootstrap.min.css is located in bootstrap/css folder.
First, you should not include hardcoded styles, try enqueueing in the functions.phpfile as the documentation states:
wp_enqueue_style
Second, the reason why the loading works with the CDN is because it's finding the source directly from the repository. This tells us that the path of your style is not right. Be sure that the theme structure be like this:
ThemeName/bootstrap/css/
Last as #Chris G said, you should use the get_stylesheet_directory_uri() function to get the file's relative path.
My bootstrap css file is located at
C:\Users\SCEA\Downloads\bootstrap-3.3.7\css
and for linking this to my php file I have given absolute path as:
<link href="C:\Users\SCEA\Downloads\bootstrap-3.3.7\css" rel="stylesheet">
but the effect of css is not visible.Is my css file not getting linked?
You might have a typo before css. The backslash before it might need to be a period.
<link href="C:\Users\SCEA\Downloads\bootstrap-3.3.7.css" rel="stylesheet">
If are running server in your local computer I suggest moving this file within the server document root.
Your comment:
css is a folder inside bootstrap-3.3.7
Probably in the CSS folder are the actual css files.
You need to refer to the actual CSS files and not to the folder itself.
Here is a quickfix using CDN:
Put these links in and it works guaranteed
Where should I put my css file if I have only one file (style.css) ?
I use sass for my project and I convert all my sass files to only one css file.
But I don't know where I have to put this file.. because normally I would create a static folder for each app but I think that makes no sense if I have only one file...
You just need to put the CSS file somewhere and tell HTML were to find using the link tag.
For example, if the file is in the folder "style" the tag will be.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/file.css" />
Usually the main css style fail was in the root folder or in a style folder.
I am building Semantic UI with Gulp using this guide
However, the problem is now that the icons are not showing. So if I use
<i class="facebook icon"></i>, nothing shows up.
I guess I haven't built the icon font or something like that.
Is it necessary to load Font Awesome or something like that myself? I have read through the Semantic UI documentation, but I cannot find anywhere stating that I have to do anything to enable icons.
You need to include the font assets which are located in themes/default/assets/fonts/
The themes folder must be in the same directory as your semantic.css file.
The fonts are imported externally from the semantic.css file from within the themes directory.
To obtain this directory, download the zip for semantic ui and look inside the dist folder.
I was having the same issue, use this link tag in the head of your html and you're good to go :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.4.1/semantic.min.css" />
Got this from their official website.
Since it's not marked as ansered yet in 2019... Here's the clear answer. The above answers are correct as well, just not straight forward.
So basically what you missed out is the inclusion of the icons themselves. When you download semantic-ui it comes with themes folder within the "dist" folder. what you must do is copy that themes folder and paste it in your project folder where your semantic-ui.css is located. and it will work.
Please remember to mark the question as answered.
I had an CORS-issue (causing square empty icons) with the Semantic UI Icons when loading the minified CSS from a CDN. Turns out that it was my location override that caused it, turning it off made the icons display properly.
I fixed the problem replacing this line
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/dist/semantic.min.css">
with this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/fomantic-ui#2.8.7/dist/semantic.min.css">
I also had to add link to icon.min.css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fomantic-ui/2.8.7/components/icon.min.css">
I wrote a post about it on medium :)
In my case I forgot to import the semantic ui css file. Import it in the App.js ( as it is the top level file ) or anywhere inside your project.
import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css'
I had the same problem and I solve it adding the following lines on my webpack.mix.js
.copy('node_modules/semantic-ui-css/themes/default/assets/fonts/icons.woff','public/css/themes/default/assets/fonts/icons.woff')
.copy('node_modules/semantic-ui-css/themes/default/assets/fonts/icons.woff2','public/css/themes/default/assets/fonts/icons.woff2')
.copy('node_modules/semantic-ui-css/themes/default/assets/fonts/icons.ttf','public/css/themes/default/assets/fonts/icons.ttf')
and then executing the command
npm run dev
This add in my case the missing files I need
In the semantic.css file, you'll find this line:
background: url("./themes/.....")
so, what you have to do is to copy the themes folder with all its contents beside your semantic.min.css
All simply copy the folder Semantic-UI-CSS-master with all its contents to your public/static/wwww folder, and will get things working smoothly.
I partially fixed this by downloading icon.min.css from this link and then replacing the CDN link with this two lines:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/icon.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/semantic.min.css"/>
There are still some icons missing: all the outlined ones.
You could also try the fonts folder from this branch but it did not work for me.
So as the other answers have provided you can change the script to look like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.4.1/semantic.min.css" />
Stop the server and close your browser. If you do not fully close the browser the error will persist. Restart your server.
If this does not resolve your issue, you can also choose to install the CSS library locally via
npm install semantic-ui-css
Then, import the library into your root index.js component,
import "semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css";
I was having the same problems using react
tried everything mentioned and nothing worked
then just replaced this link
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/semantic-ui#2.4.2/dist/semantic.min.css" />
hope that helps
