    Client Dependency and LESS

    Hi,

    Does anyone know if it's possible to force Client Dependency to download files rather than access them via the file system? My issue is that I am currently auto processing .less.css files using DotLessCss and this works great when the file is access directly. However when I use client dependency to merge the files it seems to access it via the file system and doesn't get processed by the handler.

    Anyone experienced this issue and got a work around?

    Thanks
    John

    Hi John,

    Matt Brailsford wrote a blog post about how he got .LESS to work with the Client Dependency Framework.

    Hope it helps.

    Cheers, Lee.

    Thanks for that Lee, however thats pretty much what I followed, and it doesn't appear to work, I think I am going to stop using CD for handling my css and use dotlesscss for processing the css.

    Hi John,

    This Starter Kit http://our.umbraco.org/projects/starter-kits/ubootstrap uses CD and .less

    Have a look, it might help you.

    Cheers,

    J

    Alternatively, if you're only using .less, you could configure the web.confg to always compress the stylesheet, example;

    <dotless minifyCss="true" cache="true" />

    Thanks Jorge, thats the solution I am going with and using imports to combine the files, I know this isn't V5 related but it seems everything i want to do runs me into walls, I miss xslt, masterpages and v4 lol
