RE:Using .less files

Hello,

We don't have any larger experience with using .less within Kentico CMS, however as Kentico CMS is a standard ASP.NET application, there should be no hard limitation.
You need to register another HTTP handler, which is generally, IIS/.NET thing.
Have you tried it already with some results (even errors or so)?

As for using it in our CSS editor, it may require some customizations... What exactly do you want to achieve, some kind of automatic support (Intellisense-like) inside our CSS editor?

Thank you in advance for information.

Regards,
Zdenek


Member	krisblack - 2/21/2013 3:08:17 PM RE:Using .less files I'm building a template for Kentico using Twitter Bootstrap. Twitter Bootstrap can be extended to use LESS. It would be great if LESS compiling was built into Kentico and could be turned on and off per site.

Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 2/26/2013 11:48:44 AM RE:Using .less files @varinder-kudosweb how did you go about getting them to work in your Kentico site? I attempted to add the MIME file type (text/css and text/less) with no success. Any other suggestions?

RE:Using .less files

It should be text/css... have you used dot in the extension?
Quoting a "solution" marked stackoverflow.com post:

The extension is .less and the MIME Type is text/css (by – mattruma Nov 7 '11 at 21:42)
...
another post suggests:
"When using Asp.Net you can add the mime type in your web.config:"

<system.webServer>
  <staticContent>
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".less" mimeType="text/css" />
  </staticContent >
</system.webServer>

You can also try to exclude the path with .less in the CMS (URL settings).

Zdenek
