External Style Sheet
I’m tired of editing my CSS in the Style tab of Textpattern.
How can I move it all over to an external style sheet that I can manually upload and edit in a program like Dreamweaver?

Re: External Style Sheet
Um, create a new file in Dreamweaver, upload it and change the link to it in your page(s)?

Re: External Style Sheet
I know that – but where are style sheets called within the main Textpattern framework?

Re: External Style Sheet
the stylesheets that you edit via the style tab are in your database. if you don’t want to use it, then just do what mary said.

Re: External Style Sheet
“Called”? Are you asking what tag makes the link to them? <txp:css />.

Re: External Style Sheet
If you want to move your stylesheets from TXP styles tab to a directory within your website, copy/past all styles from your back-end to an individual stylesheet file, place it into your root website into a directory (ie: /css) and now call it within your TXP pages with the help of this line :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="<txp:site_url />css/default.css" />
Assuming in this example above your stylesheet name is “default.css” Note. For convenient use, you can create a form (type misc) named “doctype” and place in it all your xhtml code from <?DOCTYPE (…) to </head> tags. Call this form into all your pages with this line :
<txp:output_form form="doctype" />
Tips : for my convenient I prefer to stop my “doctype” form before the final </head> tag and place it within all my pages. If I want to add a link to another files (stylesheets, javascripts) I can personalyse it into the page I choose.
am I answering to your question?
Remember : TXP is the best CMS of the world :)
Cheers,
