Custom Theme Styles Issue - using style.php

[Chris&Kristi]

Nope did not work. I copied word for word what you had listed also put the include in header and it did not work. Also I noticed it will not even recognize plain text in the style.php without this are the header:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function getXML($file) {
$xml = file_get_contents($file);
$data = simplexml_load_string($xml, 'SimpleXMLExtended', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
return $data;
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But does not translate to what I need. My variables are not echoing to the page.

Also since this will be an external style sheet it will not be needing the <style> declaration at the top since the header is declared in the php as such

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

header("Content-type: text/css");

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a working version you can share? Also if you have GETSIMPLE which I assume we all do on this forum, just take a look at your "/admin/template/style.php" page to see what I am trying to recreate but on the website theme area not the admin.

Seems GETSIMPLE has this working already without EOT<<< so I am not sure I need that to work, please any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Include the file in your template somewhere in the header

Code:

<? include get_theme_url(FALSE).'/style.php'; ?>

Then use heredoc syntax

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.ty...ax.heredoc

to output your block of CSS code.

Your variables should then be available to your template.

Code:

<?php

$v = getXML(GSDATAOTHERPATH.'ThemeSettings.xml');
$customvariable1 =  $v->themevariable1;
$customvariable2 =  $v->themevariable2;
$customvariable3 =  $v->themevariable3;
$customvariable4 =  $v->themevariable4;

echo <<< EOT
<style type="text/css" >
#customdiv {
      background-color: #$customvariable1;
}
</style>
EOT;

Should work, Hope it helps,
