Hello All,

I've got a module that makes a heavy use of CSS classes (defined in an external stylesheet).

How do I setup my module so that when it is installed, those CSS classes become available somehow?  Either through merging them into an existing, external stylesheet, or by adding a new external stylesheet reference in the <head> tag.

Up until now I've just been manually adding my CSS class definitions to the skin stylesheet.  But this is obviously not a very portable way to go.

DNN will load a file called module.css from any directory of any desktopmodules controls that it loads on the page.  So, if you put those styles in a file called module.css in your module's folder, DNN will include those styles in most circumstances.  If you have subdirectories in your module folder, then you'll need to figure out if you want different styles for each subdirectory, or whether you just want to import the main module.css for each subdirectory.

I hope that makes sense, let me know if that's what you were looking for.

I recommend using the modules.css approach, but you can put a link statement at the beginning of your user control if you just HAVE to reference something external.

Ok, I put a module.css file in place, but it's not getting pulled in.  Is there anything else I need to do in order to get this stylesheet referenced?
