Include global CSS to space CSS

Kirstin Seidel-Gebert

Hi all,

I want to include the global Confluence CSS (defined in the Admin section) to the CSS of a space with

<span>@import</span><span> url</span><span>(</span><span>"base.css"</span><span>);</span>

That way, I don't have to maintain the global CSS twice and can focus on the elements that differ from the global CSS.

But where can I find this file on my Confluence instance? It must be somewhere in the filesystem?

Cheers,
Kirstin

Interesting thought. Use the inspect function of your browser to figure out the path of the global CSS file.

Hi Victor,

I've read the pages you linked. What did you think of?
Is it a good idea to upload a CSS file as an attachment to a page and then include this file to both - the global stylesheet and the space stylesheet?

I'll try this next week.
Cheers,
Kirstin

It's a strange and very complex URL. I'd rather try uploading the CSS as an attachment.
Thanks,
Kirstin

You can take a look here, to see if you can identify the file:

/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/includes/css

Sorry, Bill. Can't find it there.
I rather think it's stored in the database.

Welcome!
