Creating a CSS stylesheet |
|
|
|
|
Before we start editing our new website, we will prepare the CSS styles and images based on our website template. Go to Site Manager -> Development -> CSS Stylesheets and click New CSS stylesheet. Enter the following values:
| • | Stylesheet display name: My site stylesheet |
| • | Stylesheet code name: MySite |
| • | Stylesheet text: copy and paste all text from the SampleWebTemplate\Styles\main.css file (you will find it in folder C:\Program Files\Kentico CMS\<version>\CodeSamples) |
Click OK. Click the Sites tab and make sure the stylesheet is assigned to My website.
Go to Site Manager -> Sites and Edit (
) properties of My website. Select My site stylesheet in the Site CSS stylesheet drop-down list and click OK. It ensures that the stylesheet is used on all pages of your new website.
Now copy the folder SampleWebTemplate\app_themes\MySite to <web project>\app_themes. The folder contains graphics for this website template. It will ensure that the images are exported as a part of the website if you decide to move the website in future. Please note that the folder under app_themes must have the same name as the code name of the CSS stylesheet - MySite.

CSS stylesheet URL and relative paths
We have adjusted the image paths in the sample CSS stylesheet so that they match the target folders in your new website. In real life, you will need to adjust the paths manually. The URLs of images in the CSS stylesheets are always relative to the CSS stylesheet.
The URL of the CSS stylesheet is
<web project>/CMSPages/GetCSS.aspx?stylesheetname=MySite
which means, you need to link to files in the app_themes folder like this:
../app_themes/mysite/images/imagename.gif. |
