Having a problem calling a specific stylesheet from within a template [SOLVED]

[luminous]

What follows used to work fine, and has done for several months.  Following an upgrade from 1.8 to current version 1.8.2 I have not been able to load in specific non-attached stylesheets that have been called from within templates.

I've tried a fair few things, and on clean local installs, so this has to be down to how I am doing things.

The tag {cms_stylesheet} comes with an option to call a specific stylesheet that is not attached to your current template.  In my case, the stylesheet is within an IF statement.

I am using {cms_stylesheet name="jpmie7"}.  The stylesheet "jpmie7" has been added into the cms database list of stylesheets, but not attached to any specific template.

Even when I remove the IF statement from my template header, the stylesheet "jpmie7" is never actually loaded

quote from the help section of the {cms_stylesheet} tag

(optional)name - Instead of getting all stylesheets for the given page, it will only get one specifically named one, whether it's attached to the current template or not.

   
   
   
   

{if $page_alias != "home"}
   {sitename} - {title}
{else}
   {sitename} an Independent Garage providing:- MOT, Bodyshop, ECU Remapping, Tuning, Motorsport, Rallying services.
{/if}

{* Favourites Icon *}


{metadata}

{cms_stylesheet}


{cms_stylesheet name="abyteie7"}

This has been loaded into a base install of CMSMS 1.8.2 and still fails:

[Dr.CSS]

I this is fixed in version 1.8.2, I just tested it...

[luminous]

Hmm, I'm never one to doubt you given your experience.  But for some reason its just not working for me   I'm definitely running 1.8.2, is there anything else that I can look for?

[luminous]

I don't understand how you have managed to get it to work.

I have just downloaded the full version of 1.8.2 from cmsms website, verified the hash values and added only one stylesheet to the default setup.  Added it using the method above in this case putting

{cms_stylesheet}
{cms_stylesheet name="test"}

Nothing from test is loading  

Its failing to load on either my xampp local server, or my remote host.

For time being assign your CSS to dummy template and call {cms_stylesheet templateid='dummy_template_id'}.
You could also use ScriptDeploy - it is even better than {cms_stylesheet}.

Thanks  Never even thought of trying a dummy template.  Will give that a try.

Not yet used ScriptDeploy, will read up on that.  

I do love you guys

Dummy template plan seemed like a reasonable one, but its a no go.

Have tried the following in a totally clean install:

{process_pagedata}

{* Change lang="en" to the language of your site *}

{* note: anything inside these are smarty comments, they will not show up in the page source *}
 
{if isset($canonical)}{elseif isset($content_obj)}GetURL()}" />{/if}

{title} | {sitename}
{* The sitename is changed in Site Admin/Global settings. {title} is the name of each page *}

{metadata}
{* Don't remove this! Metadata is entered in Site Admin/Global settings. *}

{cms_stylesheet}

{cms_stylesheet templateid="dummyIE7"}

{* This is how all the stylesheets attached to this template are linked to *}

{cms_selflink dir="start" rellink=1}
{cms_selflink dir="prev" rellink=1}
{cms_selflink dir="next" rellink=1}
{* Relational links for interconnections between pages, good for accessibility and Search Engine Optmization *}




{* The above JavaScript is required for Menu - NCleanBlue-css to work in IE6 *}

{* the literal below and the /literal at the end are needed whenever there are {"curly brackets"} as smarty will think it's something to process and will throw an error *}
{* IE6 png fix *}
{literal}



// argument is a CSS selector
DD_belatedPNG.fix('.sbar-top,.sbar-bottom,.main-top,.main-bottom,#version');


/* enable background image caching in IE6 */
html {filter:expression(document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true));}


{/literal}

 

The style "test" was attached to "dummyIE7".  Several styles were deleted from the default style sheet and copied into test.  They never loaded

Will run with script deploy.  Seems like a worthy upgrade anyway.  Would be nice for {cms_stylesheet} to work again soon though.

Template id is a number like

{cms_stylesheet  templateid='22'}

move mouse over template name, it is the vale of parameter 'template_id'

/admin/edittemplate.php?sp_=5a0dc0b0&template_id=22

[luminous]

Thanks.  will take a look at it tomorrow.  Been at this since about 8am, too close to it now, making silly errors.  (not to mention I just nuked my local experiment as a "bad idea" lol)

EDIT: Curiosity got the better of me, got things setup and did a quick test, it works.  Thanks so much for both ideas
