Skins: Images in external css file

[RayYates]

1. Does the css have to be embedded in the HEAD Tag Content in order for background images it references to be included in the skin?

All images in my custom framework are background images <link'd in an external css file.

2. Can I manually add the images to the package file?

3. Can the external .css and .js files be included in the framework/skin?

This is a known bug that will be fixed in our Release Candidate. Currently, external CSS files are not parsed nor included when saving a framework.

2. Can I manually add the images to the package file?

You can, but you'd also have to alter the control.xml file and specify the image locations.

3. Can the external .css and .js files be included in the framework/skin?

"css" files yes, "js" files no.

I found a work-a-round. I added this the the SFNT template below the </html> tag. The files and images are not compiled onto the screen but are included in the skin file.
