Title: It is impossible to add custom CSS for blocks Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Fix Committed Bug description: class PluginBlocktype that used for artefact blocks doesn't have any methods to load CSS files while it has two of them for JS: - get_instance_javascript - get_instance_inline_javascript I see two ways of customizing CSS for blocks, but they both have significant disadvantages: 1. Load custom CSS for a block using js dynamic loader (dynamically create link tag to CSS in header). However, this way is quite limited because it doesn't support themes. 2. Change docroot/theme/view.css. This way used for core artifcats like blog. However it is also bad, because it makes artefacts hard to distibute separate from Mahara (main view.css file is part of core). Also, lots of styles that need for unused blocks stored anyway. Generally it makes a bit of mess. My proposed solution is create style folder structure for blocktype as it done for artefact: artefact/[artefactname]/blocktype/[blockname]/theme/[themename]/static/style/style.css This file (if exists) will be loaded when block placed on current page and during page edit mode only. I am going to implement this functionality anyway, but want to know if community interested in this feature or may be there some workarounds that I don't know?
