Re: Passing variables to css file in django

[Giulio Calacoci]

May I suggest to save user defined css to a file saved in a specific path?

for example if user John_Doe submits a customized css, save it in 
//css/users/john_doe/override.css


then in the head of the html file load the user defined css always after 
the default one.


this way is always static, and the result is cleaner than any

The simplest solution is probably to keep all of the CSS that users can't 
customize in an external file (to be served as a static asset), but move 
anything that's user customizable to the  of your base template, in a

Oh! I am sorry. What I meant was, how do I let users customize their page
if they wanted to? I suppose I could have done this without using external
stylesheet, but yes, CSS is served fastest if it's static. I hope, I made
myself clear. Please guide me if there's a way to achive this

Re: Passing variables to css file in django

Any string can be rendered as a template. This is covered pretty well in
the docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/

For example:

>>> from django.template import Context, Template
>>> t = Template("body { background-color: {{ bgcolor }} }")
>>> c = Context({'bgcolor': '#999'})
>>> t.render(context=c)
u'body { background-color: #999 }'

However, CSS is served fastest if it's static and on a CDN and not using a
template and CPU resources to render.

Passing variables to css file in django

[Robin Lery]

Is it possible to pass variables in css files, like in html file. Example:


In views.py:

def home(request):
bgcolor = "#999"
...
...

In the css file:

body {
background-color : {{bgcolor}};
}


If yes, can you please guide me how to achieve this? I would really
appreciate. Thank you!
