Editting header and css files

OK, I know this is an easy question. But i’m still having a little problem
with this.

Say I want to edit the webrt.css file and/or the Header file. I understand
the idea of using the ‘local’ directory. But WHICH local directory. I’m
assuming I should be putting my stuff into [rt directory]/local/html/…
So, my webrt.css file should be in [rt directory]/local/html/NoAuth/webrt.css
and my Header should be in [rt directory]/local/html/Elements/Header

However, I’ve made changes to those file and I am not seeing any changes on
the front end.
What am I doing wrong here? Have I forgotten a step?

BTW, I’m using RT 3.4.1 on a RHE3 box. recently upgraded from 3.0.1.
Thanks.

Have you checked permissions? And failing that, have you stopped and
started apache?

Permissions have been checked.
Does Apache need to be restarted to see these changes? Oh, I thought it was
on the fly.
That could definitely explain it.
I will try.
Thanks much.

When I was testing 3.4.1 (stayed with 3.2.3 because of resistance to
change in my department) I had trouble getting the devel mode turned off
and MOST changes ended up requiring an apache restart. Might have been
an isolated problem on my end. Testing of 3.4.1 is set to begin again
in a few wekks on a fresh box. I might know more then.

That could definitely explain it.
I will try.

Style sheet changes need to go into a callback:

$RTHOME/local/html/Callbacks//NoAuth/webrt.css/Default

Steve

Hello,

At the moment, the callback to ‘BeforeMessageBox’ is right after the
part where “Message:” is printed, but before the message box. Should the
callback preceed “Message:” and the message box?

ie.

diff share/html/Ticket/Update.html local/html/Ticket/Update.html
116d115
< <&|/l&>Message</&>:
117a117

<&|/l&>Message:

Not if you are completely replacing, such as when the callbacks
you want don’t exist.

Not sure I understand what you’re saying here. Could you explain further
and suggest where you think local style sheet changes should go?

Thanks,
Steve

Thank you all for your feedback.
I was able to get everything working by adding a line in the header file to a
second stylesheet that I places in [rthome]/locatl/html/NoAuth/webrt2.css
And then restarted the apache server.
This way we only need to override that which we want changed in the css file.
Worked pretty well.

But is there a way to do this so that I do not need to restart the server
each time I make a change in/addintion to the local directory? Or should I
just get used to restarting the apache server?
Thanks again.

grep DevelMode $RTHOME/etc/RT_Config.pm

grep DevelMode $RTHOME/etc/RT_Config.pm
Set($DevelMode => ‘0’);

So, should I set this to 1 until we’re done editting?
