DNN 9.3.2 / 2sxc 10.25.2
I have a DNN theme that I use for a certain type of subportal - I will have 8 subportals ultimately. Each subportal has the same layout, but they will have different colours in their respective theme. So I will have to create a stylesheet with the CSS rules and the colours for each theme. I know there is a couple of relatively simple ways I can do this:
Modifying the portal.css of each portal to override the theme or (simple but might be hard to maintain updates)
Building a custom theme for each portal (overkill)
Using SCSS to create a template with 8 different variable files (works fine but doesn't allow modifications by the Content Editors)
So, I'm curious if there's a more clever way through 2sxc that makes it easy for not only me to maintain, but also my portal's Content Editors.
I want to create 2sxc Content module with a few different fields for colour pickers that will allow me (and my content editors) to simply open up the 2sxc edit modal (on the homepage), fill out all the colour fields, and then a razor template will output the CSS template with the colours to override the theme styles on the DNN skin. I know I can do this with inline CSS but that would mean the module would have to appear on every page, and I'd also prefer to avoid inline CSS.
So my idea is that it would work like this:
Have a 2sxc Content module on a single page on each portal
Edit modal > the fields would be something like: primary colour (rgba), secondary colour (rgba), grey colour (rgba), etc
Once save is clicked, the template modifies a portal-level theme.css file which is loaded by the skin
Any changes to the module would result in a rewrite of the CSS file.
I could update the c# razor template to add, remove, or modify rules or transform the values of the input.
Is this possible or is it too complicated? Is there a better way of going about this?
So I've been away for a long time, I hope my answer will still help...
We have a very simple solution :). If you check out bootstrap instant template you'll see that we add various classes to the <body> tag.
https://github.com/2sic/dnn-theme-bootstrap4-instant/blob/master/controls/body-css-classes.ascx#L86-L91
That way we can just use normal CSS of the theme with rules based on portal-27 etc. to vary by portal.

I've created my website that compiles my scss (boostrap, node_modules, my own custom css) to a single file. Now I'm wondering what would be the best way of styling gutenberg blocks in the editor?
I want to keep the responsive nature of my blocks from bootstrap and my styling what would be the best approach to do this?
If I'm understanding correctly, you want the CSS file for the front-end of your site to also apply to the block editor?
If so, that's as simple as adding add_theme_support('editor-styles'); in your theme files (such as in functions.php).
I find it helpful to create a second block-editor stylesheet to use only in the editor. Sometimes I find the media query breakpoints are too different or just need to tweak the front-end styles a little for the editor. For that file, you can use wp_enqueue_script() on the enqueue_block_editor_assets action hook so it applies only to the editor.
I've got a lot of custom stuff to style inside my current project ( first one made with Gutenberg) and editing two files (that include a lot of media queries) makes the task deeply infuriating.
Is it possible (and viable) to merge the 'frontend' styles and the editor styles within one CSS file in WordPress? So I can have the 'frontend' and 'editor' versions opposite one another in the CSS file and nothing flips out?
This will cause unnecessary code in the admin panel.
Write CSS Separately for Gutenberg(editor styles). Gutenberg CSS file must include these: heading(h1,h2 etc...), , quote etc... Add this style even if the style element is for your front end. These attributes must be placed in editor styles.
Then enqueue the editor styles CSS file both.
Ali is mostly right but the reasoning is kind of reversed.
You want the public views to be as small as possible, so while adding weight to Gutenberg would suck, adding weight to public views is much worse and will negatively impact page scores?
I want to make small changes in wordpress template css, but despite I change desired values (for instance font-height), changes are not applied on actual page(I've tried multiple browsers, cleaned browser and wordpress cache...).
I've noticed that this theme is using Redux framework, so it seems that this "cause" this problem with all these changes.
I would not mind to delete this (or any other) framework and make all my custom changes directly with css, but I'm not sure how to do it properly.
I have knowledge of html & css, but not wordpress system.
try using this plugin :
Simple Custom Css
I often use small, page specific CSS files for a page in Typo3 using css_select. These styles usually apply only to some special element on these pages. Putting these styles in a global file doesn't feel right.
Using css_select I can select a bunch of files that may be included into the page's header, so that it loads it's special styles.
Now I'm looking for a way to do something similar in Django CMS 3. The only built in solution I'd know is to create a new template which seems a bit excessive for a single page where an image needs to be handled a bit differently from all the others, to name just one example.
Is there a way to do this using nothing but django CMS?
If not, is there an app that would do that?
If not, how could an app extend the page admin form in such a way that this function could be added.
You could extend the page.
See http://django-cms.readthedocs.org/en/latest/extending_cms/extending_page_title.html
A good example is https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-page-meta
This the above package allows you to add additional meta tags to page header.
I'm creating a small WordPress theme, which has a separate control panel. This panel has a lot of color and font changes. I had no problem in saving all the data into mysql, but I can't figure out the best way to apply these changes to the design.
What I want to ask, is what is the best, most efficient and popular way to apply color and font settings?
Should I apply these changes with style="" while generating the design? Should I edit it with JavaScript? Include it in headers <style>, or maybe even edit the .css file?
The best way would be to make the changes directly to the css file. For this you would need to parse the css content. Grab a specific selector content and change it's properties.
An easy way is to output the custom properties in the page header (after the style.css in order to overwrite the default properties) or to put them in a separate css file.
Also, it my be helpful an existing Wordepress theme generator, like http://www.lubith.com
