Description

I pick one of the themes included in Tiki (Codex.css for example). It is almost perfect for my needs. I would like to make a few modifications, which are not appropriate to share with the Tiki project.

A- If I edit the styles/codex.css, I will have to redo my change again at each upgrade.
B- If I duplicate styles/codex.css to styles/mycustomtheme.css, I will not be taking advantage of any future enhancements to the theme.

It is not possible to put CSS information as Custom code in Site Identity.

The other benefit is to distribute css adjustments via profiles, like:
http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/site_width

1- Smarty doesn't like the curly brackets used in CSS. {literal} bla bla {/literal} could be used to get around this
2- It is not in <head> </head>

I jsut tested by putting the code below as Custom code in Site Identity and it works 😊

Copy to clipboard
{literal}
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: blue; }
p { color: yellow; }
</style>
{/literal}



Entering CSS "as-is" with curly brackets in Site Identity and having it render as internal CSS could be a solution.

or maybe a custom.css should be maintained, and cached from this data.
