Hi,
I'd like to add some custom CSS styles to an RT template. I did not find anything on this site that provided best practices or guidance on how to do this. My goal is to do slight additions to the base template with the ability to keep up with template upgrades. i.e. I don't want to lose my changes, and I want to get the periodic template fixes/updates.
anyone got any suggestions?
(I am not asking how to create CSS styles - I know how to do that
thanks
Mark

- If you are using Gantry based template, you may check this tutorial

- It does not get overwritten when Gantry is upgraded, but if the template is upgraded, it depends. If you uninstall the template and re-install, then you'll lose it of course. But, if you just upgrade the files in the changelog, you'll be able to see it index.php is one of them and you can compare it to yours to see the changes made.

Yes, that one needs to hack the core file.
I have created a new tutorial without hacking the core file so no worries about updating the template files or Gantry files
