The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Ward, Michael" <address@concealed>]

Magic - that did it! /sympa is the path to the WWSympa script. I created
an alias /css to my css_path directory and pointed css_url to the alias
as suggested.

I find it odd though that I had to do this (and that I couldn't find any
reference to having to do this anywhere). I would have thought clicking
the 'install static css' button was going to generate and setup sympa to
actually use my static .css as well - yet it continues to use the
default. The button should be called 'create static css' then the user
given further instructions on how to actually make the static css
active.

Unless I did something wrong during the install and my sympa
installation is not quite standard :-). I did have to hack a few things
to get it going!

On another note - rather than me spending hours customising the .css
file for a new look, do you know if there are any custom .css files
available for sympa as 'skins'? Would be nice to be able to change the
look and feel of the site according to user preference.

Regards,
Michael Ward

I think generating the file and using it are entirely separate; css_path

tells it where to generate it into, css_url tells it what to use.  I was

assuming that /sympa was the address on your server to the WWSympa
script, 
in which case /sympa/css will simply continue using the default Sympa 
dynamic CSS generator.  You would need to put the style.css file in a 
directory that is accessible to your Web server, wherever your HTML
files 
live, and then point css_url at that directory's URL.

If /sympa is not the path to the WWSympa script, then nevermind, you
would 
seem to be doing everything right and I'm not sure what to suggest.
