I'm trying to make a website using Yew framework(?). I want to use a special font. I downloaded the font and I imported it into html, but Yew used server-side rendering and it doesn't allow me to just import a .ttf file as easily as a static page. Is it even possible with Yew.
This is what I used
#font-face {
font-family: "terminal";
src: url(windows_command_prompt.ttf);
}
To use a custom font or to use a file(ie css or images). You have to use the tag in the index.html file and a the data-trunk attribute to the tag. Then, you have to add the right rel tag. You are trying to use a font, so you will just copy the file on the web. It does depend on what file type you are using and what you are going use for to decide what rel tag you need. Read more about it here.
<link data-trunk rel="copy-file" href="file/path.ttf">

Using 2sxc on DNN, I have a website that uses SVGs for icons in content types. The client wants to be able to upload the SVG icons to 2sxc via a Link field but then instead of rendering <img src="#Content.SVG" />, they want it to render the source code of the SVG (so we could manipulate the fill color via CSS). Is this even possible and how could it be done?
Basically 2 steps
Get the real file name using 2sxc and DNN
Then load the file as a string using normal .net stuff System.IO and add it to your html - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.file.readalltext?view=netframework-4.5.1
ca. like this
<div>
#Html.Raw(System.IO.File.ReadAllText(fileName)
</div>
Some examples of how to do this can be found below
Using the fetch API
How to convert image (svg) to rendered svg in javascript?
Older methods such as XMLHttpRequest or jQuery
Include SVG files with HTML, and still be able to apply styles to them?
Using D3
(Embed and) Refer to an external SVG via D3 and/or javascript
Using a custom JS library
One example: SVGInjector
Interestingly Dnn is doing this nowadays and you can look at the code here. If you ignore the caching, you might be able to do similar in a View.
https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform/blob/0d3b931d8483b01aaad0291a5fde2cbc0bac60ca/DNN%20Platform/Website/admin/Skins/Logo.ascx.cs#L123
And that is called from above, see ~line 71, so they are doing a real inject of the file contents to inline. Obviously caching file-access stuff should be a priority for caching if the website is high-traffic, but otherwise it is not needed or at least secondary.
I am trying to use a 3rd party javascript control, Owl Carousel. The way I am reading the documentations is this:
In the zip file from Owl Carousel there is a folder called owlcarousel that contains the javascript and another folder that contains all the supporting files which need to be copied to /modules/base-accelerator/yacceleratorstorefront/web/webroot/_ui/responsive/common. Then I simply need to go into the javaScript.tag file and add this line towards the end of the file:
<script src="${commonResourcePathHtml}/owlcarousel/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>
Upon trying that, I get all sorts of loading errors and no images are display, even without using the control. So my question is:
What is the correct approach to include a 3rd party javascript?
Is there any way to control which pages actually get a javascript file or do simply ALL the pages get ALL the javascript includes?

I am using material web components in my project and I would like to change the font family. I was going through their documentation and I have tried to do that by setting the variable in my sass file like this:
$mdc-typography-font-family: Comfortaa, sans-serif !default;
But, that didn't work, in the documentation it also says that sass mixin sets the font:
mdc-typography-base
How can I change the mixin to use a different font-family?
I figured this out by removing !default flag:
$mdc-typography-font-family: Comfortaa, sans-serif;
Also, don't forget to embed Google Fonts in the head tag:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Comfortaa" rel="stylesheet">
I have images in my theme (in the Content/ directory) and I want to show them in different places.
My current approach is : <img src="#Url.Content("~/Themes/MyTheme/Content/Images/image.gif")" />
This works, but is not very maintainable (what if I want to switch themes, etc).
Is there an built in method, something like GetCurrentThemeDirectory() that would return the directory so I could do or something like that?
Edit: from mdm's comment, I realize that changing the theme isn't a valid concern. I really just want to avoid typing out the url for every reference
Where are you referencing the image from? Module? Another theme?
If it is from the theme that has the image, then you don't need to worry about switching themes. If it is from another theme, then the image should be a part of the theme. If it is from a module, then it would make sense to store the image as part of the module or override it in the theme (see below).
If you wanted to have the image as part of the theme, then you could have the module return a 'default' shape and then override that in the theme. There really shouldn't be any reason to reference the theme's images from a module or vice versa.
Edit after your edit
In the themes I've written, I've followed what the Orchard authors do. Rather than using <img> tags, images are placed in Styles/images. They can then be referenced using the CSS background-image attribute.
In Views/Branding.cshtml:
<div id="header"></div>
<h1 id="branding">#WorkContext.CurrentSite.SiteName</h1>
And then in site.css:
#header {
/* snip */
background-image: url(images/header.png);
/* snip */
}
Themes/TheAdmin/site.css contains plenty more examples of this method.
All,
Simple question: I want to include an image "logo.png" as the background for my-app. Where should I put the file and how should I refer to it in the CSS file which is in the resources folder along with the main_page.js?
Here is the rest of the story:
I have a CSS class called doc-background. I know this class works because when I set the color of the background in a CSS file like so:
.doc-background { background-color: red} it has the desired effect and Firebug shows me that the class doc-background is being used.
However, when I add a line like
.doc-background { background-image: url('logo.png'); }, there is no effect. Firebug shows that the class doc-background is not applied. And when I modify the style in Firebug to add the line about the background-image it says "Failed to load URL" in the tooltip.
Can someone please point me to a guide on how to work with resources and images and where to put them if I want to use CSS? I have successfully used them using the image-view and coding them into the HTML.
Here is what I have already tried:
Using static-url instead
Moving the image file to images folder under resources
Referred to the image by using all variations on the path - including resources/images only including images, not including either...
Lot of Googling for the answer, Reading create your own app tutorials etc.
If you have an example app that uses colors and images from a CSS that will be the ultimate! But a location and some help with the background-image CSS property will get me started!
Thanks much,
Vis
Place your image somewhere relative to your css:
resources/style.css
resources/images/logo.png
Then use static_url to refer to the image:
background-image: static_url('images/logo.png');
