CSS - how do you get started?

[Mummygeek]

Hi - The themes are very handy but how do you go about changing the look of the calendar? A basic run through of how to capture the existing CSS and then how to create of amend your own and make it live.

Great bit of kit by the way - thanks. I'm just finding it a little complicated initially.

Just a quick answer now, will give you some more info if you have more questions.


When you view a calendar URL, from your browser do a view page source.  In the HTML Source you should be able to find the link for the url to the css file.

Copy that link from the http://....... to the end, and paste it in your browser address bar.

Your browser should open it or ask you to save it.  YOu can save it locally using a name like "mycss.css". 

Now you need to upload mycss.css TO YOUR SERVER!  Everytime you make some change in mycss.css upload it again.

Now, in In jAC, on the CUSTOM CSS TAB near the bottom you can see a filed where you can enter the FULL URL to your server and CSS filename. For example:

http://www.yourserver.com/mycss.css

The calendars should pick that up and use it whenever it displays your calendar.
