Can we have multiple custom backoffice extensions in our project?

[Former Member]

We have two custom backoffice extensions in our project. They seem to work fine. But in one of them, I am not able to define CSS files. No matter what I do, they are ignored. Can anyone please help me with that?

Here are the full details:

extension 1 - backoffice-A depends on backoffice and has CSS files at both of the following locations (but none of them are picked up):

• backoffice-A/resources/cockpitng/cng/css/

• backoffice-A/backoffice/resources/scss/

extension 2 - backoffice-B depends on backoffice-A. The backoffice-B has the following project.properties: -backoffice.cockpitng.mainpage.css=./cng/css/backoffiveB.css - backoffice.cockpitng.loginpage.css=./cng/css/loginpage_backofficeb.css

The backoffice-B has the SCSS/ CSS files defined at the following locations:

• backoffice-B/resources/cockpitng/cng/css/

• backoffice-B/backoffice/resources/scss/

All the files are picked up. I am clueless why the backoffice-A files are not working. Please help.

Found the issue. Our backoffice-A/buildcallbacks.xml was missing the following:

 <macrodef name="backoffice-A_before_build">
         <sequential>
             <register_sass_extension extensionname="backoffice-A"/>
             <register_sass_extension extensionname="backoffice-A" resources="resources" destination=""/>
         </sequential>
     </macrodef>

After adding it, our CSS start getting picked up by the backoffice.

You can have but finally on the UI you cannot see any difference. We have multiple backoffice extensions as shown below.

 <extension name='solrfacetsearchbackoffice' />
 <extension name='cmsbackoffice' />

all these extensions will be combined together after we do the clean build. it will get converted/updted as a single backoffice and display to the user.

I hope you understand what I mean.
