CMS Made Simple Forums

Ok, I just figured out how to use the css management. This is awesome! I was putting the css in the templates, this mean alot of swapping when they should be the same all over.

Some comments on it though.

1. when applying the css style to a template it gives some kind of session id to indicate that it is applied to a particular template. This should be changed to the name of the template if possible... or maybe a better notification that it was successful. I applied it a couple times because I thought that sessid was an error.

2. somehow I managed to duplicate the css styles in the database. I was trying to figure out how to unapply a style to a template and in the end I had 2 of the same css in there. And when I made a change to one of them it would occur on both. I looked in the sql file and it showed 2 of the same css items with the same name and some "???s" in the tables. So I deleted them and the associations and recreated the one I need.

3. some way of removing the association of a css style. Say you have a css style attached to a template but then you decide you want something completely different and only want the css in the template (I don't know why... I just might , the only option is to attach a different css sheet. Perhaps you could simply add a 'Remove' option in the style drop down?



That aside, I keep getting more and more impressed with this script!

1. That's easy enough. I usually just assume that it showing up in the list is enough feedback, but that's me. In reality, feedback messages in CMSMS need to be better throughout the admin.

2. We definatly need to somehow recreate this... I've never heard of it being a problem before, but there might be a small bug in the edit page somewhere. If it happens again, let me know.

3. All the way to the right of the attached CSS there is a goofy icon that is supposed to be a trashcan (I think). That'll remove the attached CSS from the template.

3. I should have seen the trash icon... no more working at 2am for me.

thanks.
