Template - CSS Editor

Description:

The CSS Editor is available for both the Site and Administrator templates. It is accessed from the respective Template Manager screen by clicking the Edit CSS icon.

Toolbar:

Save: Click Save to save any changes made during the current editing session and return to the Template Manager* screen.

Cancel: Clicking Cancel at any point ends the current editing session and returns the display to the Template Manager* screen. Any changes made since the session commenced, or since the last time Apply was clicked, will be lost.

*_{Template Manager refers to both Site and Administrator versions}

Make template_css.css Unwritable / Writable:

When entering the CSS Editor panel the write status message “template_css.css is: Writable” will be visible on the top line of the panel.

To the right of the write status is a check box labelled "Make unwritable after saving. Checking this box will change the file permissions of template_css.css to unwritable once the changes have been saved. When editing of the file has been completed, it is a good idea to make template_css.css Unwritable for security reasons. This will also prevent accidental changes being made as well! It will be noted that the write status has changed to “template_css.css is: Unwritable”

If there is a need to alter any of the CSS file settings thereafter it is possible to temporarily activate the write permissions by checking the check-box now labelled “Override write protection while saving” and upon clicking either the Save icon the current changes will be written to the template_css.css file before the setting automatically returns to Unwritable again.

To make a more permanent change, to make the file Writable, requires direct manual editing of the file permissions settings of template_css.css file using your FTP software, or direct access to the file through the server control panel, or operating system. Just remember to switch it back to Unwritable again afterwards.
