Yes, it's not that simple. My problem isn't with CSS directly. My problem lays simply in delivering up the paths to the css files, and the js files, and the swf files, and the image files, and the layout files - depending on what theme is set as the default theme for the site. I no longer have these issues thanks to Fred. I already have a layouts system implemented where based on any given theme, a user can decide on exactly what layout to use for every single page or grouped by controller type. It's very detailed but it works great. The only issues I had that were remaining were handling of images, css, js, and swfs, relative to the path of the theme and still have the ability for rails to manage these assets. I've tested out the new code and it works great. The assets and timestamps are working properly for root path and for the theme path. So, I'm able to do the following: http://gist.github.com/278365 ============== When a user goes to administrative options and selects what theme they want to use, the entire path to all assets changes for each theme (which includes layouts, images, javascript, stylesheets, and swfs) while none of MVC templates are affected. This is what I wanted to do and it's working now 100%. I'm just cleaning up the code and making it more practical and dry. I'll revisit with some code once I'm finished. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
