Custom CSS for plugin on ACP.

geek

I am in the process of writing a NdeBB plugin, but have not been able to add a CSS file to the ACP for the plugin. Is there something like acpScripts for CSS I could put in plugin.json?

Thanks for the help!

On v1.0.3? It used to read the css and less from the plugin.json, but it was removed. I made an issue about it, but the fix didn't make it into 1.0.3. imo, it should have been back-ported.

Client styles were removed from the acp here: e134689 but there doesn't appear to be any other way for plugins to add minified less to the ACP? I realize it was a bug. I would like an acpLess in plugin.json, or at the very least just add...

So does that mean that there's no other way than to put styles in <style> tags in the template file?

You could also use a link tag, linking to a css file in one of the staticDirs in your plugin.json, for instance, if your plugin has a file at /public/css/style.css and the plugin.json with

"staticDirs": { "public": "public" },

then in your template you could do
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/plugins/nodebb-plugin-yourplugin/public/css/style.css">

That's perfect, thanks!
