Customizable Theme not working

Permalink September 05, 2011 at 5:18 PM

Hi,

I'm trying set up a customizable theme, but for some reason it doesnt seem to show up in the "Pages and Themes/Customize" area. I have C5 links set up for both the main.css and the typography.css and I have bracketed the properties I want to make customizable the way it is described in the documentation, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the links I set up in my header.php:

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

and here is the css I want to allow to be customized:

body {
/*customize_background*/
background-color: #989898;
/*customize_background*/
height: 100%;
}
#header_line_bottom {
/*customize_header_line*/
background: #e64116;
/*customize_header_line*/
height: 3px;
}
#footer_line_top {
/*customize_footer_line*/
background: #e64116;

Viewing 15 lines of 19 lines. View entire code block.

body {
/*customize_background*/
background-color: #989898;
/*customize_background*/
height: 100%;
}
#header_line_bottom {
/*customize_header_line*/
background: #e64116;
/*customize_header_line*/
height: 3px;
}
#footer_line_top {
/*customize_footer_line*/
background: #e64116;
/*customize_footer_line*/
height: 3px;
}
/*customize_miscellaneous*//*customize_miscellaneous*/

I've been playing around with this function, and noticed that the only css tag that seems to work is a color tag:
like

color: #ffffff;

But not

background-color: #ffffff;

I can verify that you can modify a background-color when using a core theme. It might be a permissions thing???

So in case anybody needs the answer to this, it seems that the CSS file must be in the root of the theme, and CANNOT be in a subfolder.

I normally put all CSS (with the exception of my typography.css) in a subfolder. I guess now it's the root for me.
