[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Best practices for modifying OPAC CSS
Hi all, When modifying the OPAC CSS, there are multiple ways to do everything, and I'd like to clarify what the best practices are. In particular, I'd like your advice on which files make the most sense for which types of changes. Here are my observations: * Developers make a lot of changes to opac/css/style.css.tt2, so the fewer local changes you make to it, the easier it is to maintain your changes * Most of the messing with color should be in opac/parts/css/colors.tt2, so that you can consistently change the color of a whole bunch of elements. * Perhaps messing with other pieces should be in Open-ILS/web/css/skin/default/opac/ (installed in /openils/var/web/css/skin/default/opac/) -- but it looks like a fair number of changes get made to semiauto.css as well? * If you want to take advantage of the colors defined in colors.tt2, that is a case where you would want to make your changes to opac/css/style.css.tt2, since the semiauto.css doesn't have access to those. * If you want to maintain a git repository of your OPAC customizations, it's helpful to make your css changes to opac/css/style.css.tt2, so you can just have that opac directory be its own repository (like Sitka's here: http://git.sitka.bclibraries.ca/gitweb/?p=sitka/custom-templates.git;a=tree) Are those accurate? What advice would you give somebody trying to make CSS changes to their OPAC? BTW, the answers I get will be used to further develop the official documentation (e.g. http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/reorg/3.1/command_line_admin/_tpac_css_and_media_files.html), and to help me out with a local project. :-) Appreciatively, -Jane -- Jane Sandberg Electronic Resources Librarian Linn-Benton Community College sand...@linnbenton.edu / 541-917-4655 Pronouns: she/her/hers
