Editing space-specific style sheet causes global style sheet to be ignored

Matthew J. Horn

When I edit the space-specific style sheet (Edit Space > Look And Feel > Stylesheet) and save my changes, the new styles are applied. However, this causes the global style sheet (Admin > Look And Feel > Stylesheet) to no longer be applied.

Is this a bug? Is there any way around it?

is it the whole global stylesheet that is ignored? Or are you hitting CSS naming oddness? Since the space sheet is applied later, it will over-write the global one where the CSS references overlap.

Or is it more than that?

Hello Matt,

You are complately correct. I duplicated this behavior in my test instance and filed the following bug.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-27929

As always please visit this issue and vote on it to add your voice to the conversation. I am attaching this post to further increase its visibility.

Thanks for filing the bug. For a workaround, I created a separate stylesheet and referenced it in the head section of each space's Main Layout decorator.

Hi Matt thank you for this usefull workaround!

 @all: To find out if I got "head section of each space's" correctly I put some

&lt;... border-color: ...&gt;

into the code. It works! Now with next step have I – a confluence-beginner – a problem with the (relative) path of my_wonderfull_space.css: what should I wrote into the href=" ... ?

And directly the next one: Need I (using ftp) a special upload-directory for all the spaces.css or what is the easiest upload way?

Thanks in advance

I typically put the CSS files in a directory under /confluence/confluence/includes/css. This is where Atlassian stores their stylesheets by default.

When importing, the location is relative to the /confluence/confluence directory (it's the directory that contains WEB-INF). So my stylesheet tag looks like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/includes/css/pl.css" type="text/css">
