Download a style

posts: 22 United Kingdom

Back to basics guys!
I want to add a couple of styles (simple.css and tranquil.css) to my site.
I've read the help and searched the forums.
I think I know what to do BUT how do you download the style from TikiWiki?
Going to the styles page and clicking the link simply applies that style.
If the answer is ftp it please supply an address that cuteFTP will understand (even if I dont!).
Please use words of one syllable that a newbie will understand biggrin.
Thanks Paul

Styles consists of two things, the CSS which lives in /styles/ and the templates which live in templates/styles/

now simple and tranquil you will already have in your Tiki install unless you deleted them. In which can you can just download the tar or zip again and copy the CSS file from styles/ into your tiki sites /styles/

There are some premium themes available at http://tikihost.net.
Those come with CSS and templates and just need copying into the two folders /styles/ and /templates/styles/ and its installed.

Thanks Damian,

These styles are not in my default tiki (I have elegant and moreneat only).

I took the easy route and had a default tiki installed by Webulex (one of your recommended hosts)

I notice your hearder line says 1.9 CVS whereas mine says 1.8.4 Polaris ~ perhaps default styles were not in my version.

When you say "you can just download the tar or zip again" I guess you mean the whole tiki, extract the files I need and upload them to my site. OK, no wonder I couldn't find the individual files to download redface

I guess I ought to look at the section about updating my Tiki to the latest version ~ with my skills that could put me off the map altogether.

Thanks for your prompt help

webulex seems to have installed a "lite" version.

1.8.4 contains those styles, it seems that webulex have either removed them or only done a part installation.

1.8.4 is the latest stable version, dont use 1.9 as its development code. Ask webulex to install the proper full tikiwiki for you, which they should have done in the first place.
