Hi,
Im trying to include a custom CSS file for radiant. Previously, I just
replaced the main.css file in the radiant gem directory - but thats not
"sustainable".
I tried following Sean's instructions below but have run into trouble. The
technique is to create an extension that runs a before filter that calls:
include_stylesheet 'my_stylesheet'
But it looks like the include_stylesheet is crashing because the @stylesheet
array is empty.
The line it is failing on is:
controllers/application.rb line 22
"@stylesheets << sheet"
My extension looks like this:
def activate
require_dependency 'application'
SiteController.class_eval do
prepend_before_filter :customize_admin_css
def customize_admin_css
include_stylesheet ('radiant_custom')
end
end
end
Any ideas anyone - could be something silly as I am still a rubynuby.
Thanks!
Topher
