Brent,

Thank you for your reply. If I added this line to my template's css file, would the css file need to change to a php file? Or would the line go in my page template file?

drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/' .theme_get_setting('banners').'.css', 'theme', 'all');

Thank you, Tracey

Quoting Brent Hardinge brent@hardinge.net:

It seems that in order to get the css into the system, you need to use drupal_add_css outside of the preprocess function because it is the template_preprocess_page function that is used to add the css to the $variables['styles'] function.

So what I would recommend doing is adding the following at near the top of your template.css file:

drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/' .theme_get_setting('banners') .'.css', 'theme', 'all');

That should replace your switch function and print the appropriate css file based on the settings.

Cheers, Brent

My trying a add page preprocess that will allow site administrators to be able to configure a theme and choose different banners/color combinations. Based on what they select, a different css file would be added that would modify the banners graphics/colors.

I added three choices to the theme's configuration page by adding this to the theme-settings.php file:

function graphicDesign_settings(&$saved_settings) {   $defaults = array(     'banners'              => 'red-blue',   ); $settings = array_merge($defaults, $saved_settings);

$form['banners'] = array(     '#type'    => 'select',     '#options' => array(                'red-blue' => 'Red/Blue',                'blue-gray' => 'Blue/Gray',                'white-gray' => 'White/Dark Gray'),     '#default_value' => $settings['banners'],     '#title'   => t('Choose a Banner Color Combination'),    ); return $form; }

In the template.php file, I'm trying to use the variable passed to add a css file based on what they select.  In the template.php file:

function graphicDesign_preprocess_page(&$vars) {   $banners = theme_get_setting('banners');   drupal_set_message(print_r($banners,true));

switch($banners) {     case ("white-gray"):       drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/white-gray.css', 'theme', 'all');       break;     case ("blue-gray"):       drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/blue-gray.css', 'theme',  'all');       break;     default:       drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/red-blue.css', 'theme', 'all');       break;   } }

The css is not being added.  Is anyone doing something similar and would be willing to help me?

Thanks, Tracey
