Overriding themes etc

Post by AbleMods » Sat Oct 13, 2007 4:31 pm

Guys,

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but it's all I could figure out.

As I move my existing site content over to AC 7, I'm finding certain pages that have server-side content. Since their not plain HTML pages, I copied the server-side content into a user control and threw it into the ConLib folder. The content functionality works fine but...

My problem is the AC theme is overriding my content in my user control, so font styles and link styles are wrong for the layout of my content.

Got any suggestions on how to approach this? Am I going about this the wrong way?

Hello Joe,

This is pretty much the same answer as in my prior post. The CSS sheet (as it should) has control over how a page renders. If you want create a new theme with a blank CSS sheet and attach it to these objects, but I wouldn't really recommend that approach. I would add/modify the style.css sheet to accomplish my customization goals.
Thanks for your support
