Can I compute <resource> (CSS) in theme?

Hi,

I'd like to use a customer specific CSS file (rendered= does not fit very well to this need). Neither of these work:

<resource>
<content-type>text/css</content-type>
<href>#{javascript:"test.css"}</href>
</resource>

<resource>
<content-type>text/css</content-type>
<href><value>#{javascript:"test.css"}</value></href>
</resource>

I know I can compute the css on the XPage/Custom Control but can I do it in theme level?

thanks,

- Panu

Re: Can I compute <resource> (CSS) in theme?

You can use rendered to compute whether a resource is used or not. Here are some examples:

<resource rendered="#{javascript:context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match("iPhone")}">
<content-type>text/css</content-type>
<href>iPhone.css</href>
</resource>

So, using the rendered property you can control when to load a specific resource. Does that answer your question?

Hi,

I would not like to code all CSS file names to the theme. There is one CSS file for each customer and new ones are coming in all the time as new customers are added. That's why I'd prefer not to use the rendered property.
