I have a CSS template called global_css.  It is rendering some css classes dynamically.  Here’s a snippet to show what I’m referring to:

{exp:channel:entries channel="personal_blog" dynamic='off' disable="categories|member_data|pagination"}
  .bio_header_{personal_ee_username} {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 960px;
    height: 270px;
    background: url('{personal_header_image}') no-repeat 0 0;
  }
{/exp:channel:entries}

I’m generating this css class dynamically for each user.  The above code works just fine on one site…but the actual EE tags are showing up on the client side on another site.  Is there a setting I might be missing to ensure that the EE tags get parsed?

Hi The Glenn Group,

Are you loading the stylesheet via the {stylesheet} tag?

If you are, then ExpressionEngine tags will not parse. The documentation makes note that using the {stylesheet} tag doesn’t parse ExpressionEngine tags for performance reasons.

If, however, you use the {path=""} tag to load your stylesheet, it will parse the tags in the stylesheet.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!  I am using {path=""} to load the stylesheet.  Here’s what it looks like:

<link href="{path='?css=incl/css_globals'}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

I just figured it out.  I got rid of the ?css= part and it works.  Now I’m calling the stylesheet like this:

<link href="{path='incl/css_globals'}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Glad you were able to figure it out, The Glenn Group! If there’s anything else we can help with, just let us know!
