User specific stylesheet?

Question

Question by user1305075

I have a website where a user chooses a template of their choice for their web page.

Once they’ve selected the template, I want them to be able to change some of the styles such as the font colour etc?

Is there a way I could do this?

I thought of perhaps storing the user specified stuff in a field in a database and then retrieve it and display as internal CSS?

Answer 1

You may use a user.css (initially empty) for each user and then add data provided by user with !important override.

Answer 2

It is possible. But you will have to rely on Javascript to add the stylesheet, url selected.

Assuming you would be using a link to change the theme, using jQuery, you would do

$('#red').click(function (){
   $('#linktagid').attr('href','user_red.css');
});
