Use of CSS with current templates in 3.6/3.7

[davidel]

Hi all,
currently looking at ways to implement CSS in the current release of ezimerchant (we are using 3.7). I read that it was possible, but could not find details or instructions.

Please advise...

Hi David

You use CSS in the themes just as you would any other HTML document.

For info on editing the theme files please see How do I customise ezimerchant Professional themes/templates? (http://www.ezimerchant.com/faq/show/faq50070.asp)

The above document doesnt show you how to use css, but it will show you how to edit the theme files.. Once you know how to do that you should be able to apply css just like any other HTML file.

Maybe one of the other forum members knows of a website with lots of CSS help?

Thanks. I thought it was possible with the templates, but I was also wondering if CSS can be used for the Category Properties page in the Product Details database. It is HTML, but it seems to be a temp page produced for editing, then included within the product sections during a build. I want some tight formatting control of look and feel in these Category Properties, but I can only see that manual formatting is the way to do that. Is that right? will 4.0 be different in this regard?

Hi David

The category properties code gets put into the final page when generated - BASED on the theme files..

So if you refer to a .css file in your theme files then you should have access to those css clases when editing the category properties HTML.. (you just wont see them when editing.. when you generate you will)
