    Applying custom css to custom grid editor

    Templates, (partial) views and macros
    Umbraco 7

    Hello.

    I am working on a project, where I develop several custom grid editors using LeBlender

    For now, I keep a seperate css file for each editor, i call the editors "modules". I would like to be able to apply these css files to the modules, so the person editing content in the backoffice, can get a more accurate representation of the modules appearance.

    I have thought of one solution, where you read the content of the css file into a <style> tag, directly in the template for the editor. But I would like to avoid inline styles, and I don't know if it's possible to only inline the css file, when looking a the editor in backoffice, and not on the actual website.

    Any thoughts? Thanks :)

    Hi Andreas,

    A start to this would be something like this in the preview markup in the grid editor:

     var CSSFilePath = Server.MapPath("~/_frontend_output/css/module.css");


@if (System.IO.File.Exists(CSSFilePath))
{
  <style>
    @Html.Raw(System.IO.File.ReadAllText(CSSFilePath));
  </style>
}

    Yes, that is pretty much the solution I came up with, while in the shower...

    I just did it in a static method that returns the entire style string, and only returns it, if you are rendering the module in Umbraco, by checking the url for /umbraco/.

    I also compiled a special css file, with more specific styles and exceptions, so I don't end up styling the entire backend, but just the modules.

    Hi Andreas

    You can add your own css to the backoffice using a package.manifest file.
