Torsten_ Hey guys, is there anybody out there who knows how to create a theme? I followed the instructions in the documentation, but my CSS is not used. Instead of that, there is some default CSS, and looking into the source code, I found that there is …
# Torsten_ … a subfolder like known/css/2016042301/default.css in the head section of the HTML output. No matter what I try, my CSS is not used.
# Torsten_ I event activated the plugin Custom CSS and copied my CSS code into the text area, but nothing.
# Torsten_ @kylewm: Uhm, wait a minute, I guess I only overrode the header template.
# Torsten_ Okay, I am taking a look at it, I’ll be right back soon.
# Torsten_ Hm, in default/shell there are: aftercontent.tpl.php, footer.tpl.php, and head.tpl.php, which links to the CSS file.
# Torsten_ But no css.tpl.php.
# Torsten_ And I have not found such a file in the other Known themes.
# Torsten_ But editing the CSS in the textarea of the plugin Custom CSS works now. So thanks for your help, much appreciated!
# 
kylewm this is the file I was looking at https://github.com/idno/Known/blob/master/templates/default/shell/css.tpl.php
# Torsten_ Yes, these seem to be the default CSS styles, which can be overridden by a custom stylesheet.
# Torsten_ My only problem is how to include webfonts. No problem normally, I do that all the time, but in Known there seems to be something wrong with the path to the webfonts. I think I can fix it.
# 
cleverdevil I use webfonts on my Known site.
# cleverdevil using custom CSS
# Torsten_ @cleverdevil: Yes, in deed. In my case, I can’t even change the generic font. The entry text is in Times New Roman or Georgia or whatever, although in my CSS there is sans-serif in the body element.
# Torsten_ I thought that might be some caching problem or whatever, but even after clearing the browser cache, nothing changes.
# Torsten_ Like this: body
{ background: #fff; color: #373737; font-family: 'GraviolaSoft-Medium',sans-serif; margin-bottom: 2em; }# Torsten_ Ah, okay, now I know. In the custom CSS, I have to override the font-family in some elements, like the headers and the entry text. I wish I could filter out all that default CSS stuff and create my very own style.
# Torsten_ I meant the headings, like h1 and h2.
# Torsten_ Pardon my weak English.
# Torsten_ So, Known handles some things a bit differently than the content management systems I have used before.
# Torsten_ Anyway, thanks a lot for your help, guys!
