Can I apply a custom CSS to Sharepoint Services - not portal |
|
|
Hello,
I read that i can apply a custom style sheet to WSS, but the instructions I
found don't wor - I am wondering if this only applies to Portal?
I found the following info @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odc_SP2003_ta/html/ODC_SPSCustomizingSharePointSites1.asp
You can create and deploy your own CSS class by writing your own CSS file
like a cascading style sheet file. Put the file in the same folder where
ows.css and sps.css are located. To add a reference to your custom style
sheet for a site, click Site Settings, and then click Change portal site and
SharePoint site creating settings. In Custom Cascading Style Sheet, type the
name of your custom style sheet file.
But I can't find the option " Change portal site and SharePoint site
creating settings." to change the setting and point to my custom css. Any
help is greatly appreciated!! |

Actually there is support for adding a custom css for WSS sites but its
implementation is incomplete. The ONET.XML for a site template supports a
CustomCSS attribute in the Project node. Thus when a site is instantiated
using this template the details of teh CSS are written into the Webs table
in the AlternateCSSUrl.
The incompleteness comes from the various .aspx that include the CSS. It is
done via a <SharePoint:CssLink> and some aspx pages call this and some
don't! For example it is called in shared pages (in the _layouts) but not
for the source pages in the site template.
Check out the SPSPERS ONET.XML for an example...(however note that even
though it defines a custom CSS the actual CSS that is used is hardcoded in
all the pages rather than being called via the <SahrePoint:CssLink>
element!!!)

For WSS sites you can apply Themes to the site by going to Site
Settings -> Apply Theme To Site. You can create your own themes and make
them available for the WSS sites. Themes will allow you to modify the font
colors, background colors... you can find info on how to create a WSS
theme here:

For the Portal go to Site Settings -> Change portal site properties and
SharePoint site creation settings . This is not available for WSS sites.
For WSS sites you can apply Themes to the site by going to Site Settings ->
Apply Theme To Site. You can create your own themes and make them available
for the WSS sites. Themes will allow you to modify the font colors,
background colors... you can find info on how to create a WSS theme here:
