Can I access my css file from within Modx? (Resolved)

I’d like to be able to edit my css file from within Modx. Is this possible?

It would be easier and quicker than uploading via ftp a new css all the time.

Thanks

Sure, just go to Resources -> Manage Files and browse to your css file. If you have trouble, you may need to set the file path correctly in Tools -> Configuration -> File Manager.

But remember, when you edit the css file on your computer and upload via ftp, you always have a backup of that file. If you screw up things in the css file via modx backend there’s no return.

And if you’re getting security paranoid, then you might have the file set to unwritable, so I’m still going to have to login via the backdoor.

PS I always make a copy of anything on the live site before I upload a new file, but thanks for the reminder Sylvaticus, it’s always good to be reminded.

There is this method too --> http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5258.0.html

Just when I was about to link to the CSS as document method... I use it extensively and I have been pretty happy with the flexibility it provides, but I don’t need to explain since you all know how chunks can be valuable in a HTML page, same goes for CSS
