Goal

Give people with CSS-skills the ability to apply styles through the web (TTW), using a simple page as style-source and provide a preview-possibility.

Usage

For live-developing the CSS and immediately see the changes, while to vistors the look will remain unchanged:

• On top-level of your site add a page, name it ‘ttw_live_styles’, insert yout CSS-rules in the bodytext-fieild, save page.

• Add ‘/@@ttw_styles_view’ to any URL of your site and see the changes.

For permanently adding the styles to your site and make them visible to everybody:

• Create a local copy of your style-rules on your computer with a texteditor, name it ‘ttw_permanent_styles.css’ and upload it as a file on top-level of your site.

Note: Permanent changes require to remerge stylesheets for caching,

which you can achieve by putting ithe portal_css-debug-mode off, (accessible via ‘http://localhost:8080/yourPlonesiteId/portal_css/manage_cssForm’). You might need to ask your siteadministrator to do that for you.

Installation
