Cant get my CSS style to work :(

Permalink
Hi there!

I'm new here and I am trying to create my first theme.

I found a bunch of tutorials on creating a theme and they are all basically the same, I have done everything as they say but for some reason when I install my theme and activate it, all I can see is the unordered lists from my 2 navigation bars. It looks like an ordinary HTML page without any CSS and I cant figure out why :(


Here is my header.php code:

<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied.")); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "<?php echo $this->getStyleSheet('main.css')?>";</style>
<?php
Loader::element('header_required');
?>
</head>
<body>


..and my default.php:

<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
$this->inc('elements/header.php'); ?>
<div id="container">
  <div class="first_menu_bg">
  <ul id="first_menu">
    <li><a href="#" class="home">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="onama">O nama</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="last_min">Last Minute</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="kontakt">Kontakt</a></li>  
  </ul>
  </div>
  <div id="logo_bg">
    <div id="logo_box">
      <div id="logo"><a href="#"><img src="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/images/goya_logo.png" alt="logo" width="354" height="187" vspace="20" border="0" /></a>
Viewing 15 lines of 43 lines. View entire code block.


Both my header.php and footer.php files are in a folder called "elements" in the theme folder, other than that my theme folder contains my main.css file, default.php file and images folder.

Would be awesome if someone could take a look at my code and tell me if I made a mistake, I have been trying for a couple of days and I just cant figure it out :(

Thanks in advance :)

Attach the complete theme folder (just zip it) and maybe somebody will take a look. ;-)

By the way, why don't you try

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $this->getStyleSheet('main.css')?>" />


instead of @import?

Thanks a lot, that actually worked :):):)

I really don't know much (anything) about php so I really had no idea if that needs to be there or not :S

You are the best <3

Thanks again for your time.
