Re: rvm_css (v1.2)
That is specifically for the plugin. Your CSS is still saved to the database even if you have the plugin active so as long as you have changed the <txp:rvm_css /> tags back to <txp:css /> it should still work correctly. Would be nice if that preference was removed when the plugin is deleted though.

Re: rvm_css (v1.2)
Yes .. especially as i now have removed it. I just simply use a link to my external css files.
l<ink href="/css/home.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and i can also use JS scripts to choose various css files.
Speaking of external files…. i would love to have a bullet-proof up to date plugin to edit all Forms, Templates (Pages) outside of the CP…. eg in Coda / Espresso. ( The one plugin that is available has to many warnings for me to use that approach : mcw_templates ). Ideally a future version of Textpattern might be able to accommodate external files natively.

thanks for the link.
But this warning:
Please use this with care! Your pages/forms/css will be deleted from the database, when you delete the corresponding files.
keeps me from wanting to use the plugin. it just sounds too risky.
I would like to see the use of external files as a Preference.

Should it not revert back to the default line?
When rvm_css was released, this wasn’t possible. You can remove it manually. It’s the only preference that is added by the plugin.

Re: rvm_css (v1.2)
You would need to go into your database and check through the txp_prefs table. It can be removed from there but make sure you have a database backup first. If you aren’t happy working with your database I would just leave it. It’s not causing any harm.

Try smd_prefalizer to take a peek through the prefs. Note that rvm_css_dir is a ‘protected’ pref setting due to the way it is inserted into the advanced pane so you will have to manually override smd_prefalizer’s security mode in order to delete it. Check the plugin help for info.

Re: rvm_css (v1.2)
Could hide it with the plugin methinks.

Re: rvm_css (v1.2)
Can’t hide the preference, because it’s something the user has to be able to change.
Apart from 1 comment, it doesn’t seem to bother anyone.

Re: rvm_css (v1.2)
No Ruud, I meant with Stef’s plugin, if your plugin has been removed, you could hide the preference but as you say, it’s really not hurting anything to be there. Seems a bit of a waste of Stef’s plugin just to hide it.

OT: When plugins are removed they can (more easily as of 4.2.0) clear up after themselves if the author wishes. But it’s not mandatory and is sometimes a good thing to leave prefs behind. Some people just prefer to keep a tidy house, so if a plugin doesn’t delete its own prefs, smd_prefalizer can help you seek and destroy any left luggage. No hiding, just good old-fashioned, unrecoverable deletion. Once you’re done zapping prefs you can even delete smd_prefalizer if you wish. I could probably do with making the docs a bit clearer actually. Next rev, promise!
And now we return to our regular rvm_css broadcast…
