Hi! I'm trying to use an external CSS stylesheet on Iliad. This would make things much easier with the designers that help the project, as they could simply edit their stuff as they usually do.
I'm trying to adapt a basic code snippet published by Joachim Jaeckel at http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/joe/first-steps-iliad-web-development-gnu-smalltalk-and-iliad (very useful guide! Thanks :) I soon found out that the message had changed, because the css wasn't showing up in the page source code, so I modified it like this, and I had the stylesheet in the page. updatePage: aPage [ <category: 'building'> super updatePage: aPage. aPage head title: 'Ambaradan - Hello World application!'. aPage head stylesheet href: '/stylesheets/ambaradan.css'. ] Anyway, the sheet was empty, and trying to open it with firebug I got a "Failed to load source for: http://localhost:3000/stylesheets/ambaradan.css"; message. After a bit of hunting I realized that my Public directory was NOT containing the actual .css, but just a symlink to it, as I had reused part of the make_packages.sh script in the Iliad distro, which does a symlink. Symlinked .ccs do not appear to work, so now I modified my make_packages.sh script to do a if [ -d More/UI ]; then for i in `find More/UI/stylesheets -type f | grep -v '\.svn'` do echo "copying $i to Public..." cp $i Public/stylesheets/ done for i in `find More/UI/images -type f | grep -v '\.svn'` do echo "copying $i to Public..." cp $i Public/images/ done for i in `find More/UI/javascripts -type f | grep -v '\.svn'` do echo "copying $i to Public..." cp $i Public/javascripts/ done fi And at this point I do have working ccs. I suppose people trying to use the iliad-ui.css will run into the same problem, so I published what I found.
