[Pier] how to change the css

Hello,

I'm currently playing a bit with pier and have some difficulties about setting my own css style.

I would like to know if it is possible in pier to say 'use this css file for the whole blog'?

I would like to retrieve the default css, base my new css file on top of this one (to know the css classes, id used), and apply it.

Re: [Pier] how to change the css

Hello Cyrille,

Use the Edit Settings command to set the stylesheet of a pier structure.

Navigate to the current default stylesheet of your pier (mine is under /System/Compoents) and then use the Copy command to make a duplicate with a different name.

Point the blog's stylesheet to the new stylesheet and edit away.

This also applies to changing the environment of a structure.

Hope this helps

John

Re: [Pier] how to change the css

So here is wht I tried:

When i'm on a page, I click on the command 'edit design'. It open an editor on the default css (for me, using the pier on click image, it seems to be 'eventCss', am I right?).

So here I guess I'm able to edit the default css. But when I change some parameters in the css code, it doesn't modify anything on my web page.

What is more strange, is that if I delete all the text from the editor, this time the change is taken into account, and my web page is rendered without any Css style. If I tried just to write a comment (like /*comment*/ ) in the editor, then the default design re-appear.

There is surely something I missed ? :)

Re: [Pier] how to change the css

Did you try pressing F5/Refresh to get the CSS to reload?

Re: [Pier] how to change the css

Just try, and it does not change. Whatever I type in the editor (even non css code), it apply the default css.

Re: [Pier] how to change the css

Hmmm, I just downloaded the Pier 1.2 one-click and it does work for me. Had to click apply and F5 a couple of times before it took.

I am using IE8.

I am forwarding this to the Pier list at [hidden email] in case someone more knowledgeable has an idea what your problem might be.

Re: [Pier] how to change the css

In reply to this post by John McKeon

Hello Cyrille,

IIUC, the original suggestion was to make a copy of the default
stylesheet, modify the copy, then point your blog's stylesheet at the
modified copy.

From your description, I think you've modifed the default stylesheet
itself. I recall having seen some odd behaviour when I modified the
default stylesheet, but I never investigated further - I just stopped
doing that.

Ok, it was indeed a problem coming from not refreshing the page :)

Thanks for your answers and sorry for the inconvenience.
