u will not be able ot change the CSS template in BI 7.0

this option is not available in 7.0

it was only available in 3.5 which this link is talking about...

there r some ways where u can save the copy of current portal theme in bi 7.0 and than make changes to it.

this settings can be done thru SPRO

u need authorizaiton for this

meanwhile check the authorization and let us know

can u elaborate what properties u intend to change with css template....

if possible u can change soem settings thru Wad also...

So there is no way in WAD 7.0 to assign directly a CSS to a Web Template...

What about doing that using Javascript to change it in runtime? (some example?)

Kartikey, could you explain me how can I do if want to set diferent styles to diferent sets of templates without replicating the properties in each one template?

Thanks a lot!

You can place some code in your template to run your required CSS.

Browsers have a feature whereby the latest definition of a style is used. So, if you define a style near the beginning of a template (like the defalut styles are probably defined), then later on in the template (say where you can add your own stuff) you redefine that same style, the later style will be used.

You could use this approach to customise the individual templates that you are trying to change. Just add the required style at the start of your BODY section and you should be fine.

If you want to continue with CSS (which I suppose is a good idea) you should be able to store the CSS in the MIME repository, and refer to that file.

Cheers,

Martin,

We edit the .css when needed in Notepad - archiac but its the only way I know how. We are on 3.5

We've taken the default template that you select, made a copy of it and created a few different style sheets that vary primarily on font sizes. Then per template we pick the best fit .css to go with the template,
