cnbarnes We have someone else who is the webmaster for my department's main website. She does a good job at using .css to control the layout of the site as well as server side included headers & footers. I am installed Dokuwiki as the engine for my IT group's portion of the website (since the IT group part of the site is pretty much entirely FAQ items - something a wiki is perfect for). My problem is that I need to keep the IT pages consistent with the main website. Meaning I need to use the main site's .css and include the headers and footers. HOW?
cnbarnes turnermm wrote You can make changes to css in conf/userstyle.css. See http://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:css That's not exactly an answer to my question. That shows me how I can alter the .css files already there. But I am wanting to dynamically "call" a style.css from another site.
turnermm Well, if it's on the same Hard Drive or if you have NFS setup for different disks and this if a *nix system, then you can use symoblic links, but I'm not sure how that will help you, unless the webmaster's css does not affect the Dokuwiki portion of the page. I have a suspicion that most of what you want can be done in your template directory. In your template directory, you can link the footer from main.php to the master footer, and install a header on main.php which is also links to the master header, etc. There you can also create a link called style.css which links to your webmater's css and which Dokuwiki will load,and which which will givern the css for the linked header and footer.
