stylesheet files should live in public/stylesheets and should be linked to by using <%= stylesheet_link_tag "name" %> in the layout of your site, inside a <head> tag.

i haven''t used it yet,
but i think that it''s more about using erb code within your css file,
which would allow to give them some nice things like user selectable
color sets
.menu {
color: <%= @user.settings.text_color; %>
background: <%= @user.settings.bg_color; %>;
}
hmm, i can think about a lot of stuff to do with it if it works that
way.

yep, Thorsten, would be pretty cool to have dynamic css files, don''t think it works this way just confused by the extension. maybe it''s similar to haml? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Maybe you could store the user''s color selections in a sort of "user preferences" model (which is what I''ve done with other user info). I track the user''s preferred "page length" (rows per page in an index view), "sort order" per model (saves their current sort columns and order when they logout so its the same when they come back). I was just thinking about colors the other day - one co-worker doesn''t see certain blue hues - "What highlight?" he asks... Perhaps a "standard" stylesheet with my colors, then a stylesheet M-V-C that can maintain a css file per user, and some simple file selection logic in the main layout. Hmm... Oh, and kuler.adobe.com is a great source for manufacturing/finding color schemes... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can dynamically link a css file (contra Radar ^^^) by using yield and content_for In the layout: <head> ... <%= yield :head %> </head> In the *.html.erb <% content_for :head do %> <% stylesheet_link_tag :page_specific_styles <% end %> Of course, if you _needed_ page specific, dynamic css you could put a style tag inside your content_for :head.
