StyleSheetManager Folder?

[David Beck]

I get the below error when trying to use the StyleSheetManager

The 'Telerik.Web.UI.StyleSheetFolders' key is missing from the <appSettings /> section of the application's web.config file.
This setting is required when registering external style sheet files in RadStyleSheetManager.

<telerik:RadStyleSheetManager ID="oStyleSheetManager" runat="server">
        <StyleSheets>
            <telerik:StyleSheetReference Path="css/DivRoundedCornerBlack.css"/>
        </StyleSheets>

Hi David,

We made some changes in order to support multiple external folders. You need to add the following key in the web.config:

<appSettings>
    <add key="Telerik.Web.UI.StyleSheetFolders" value="~/MyCssFolder" />
</appSettings>

How would I add more than one folder?

[Helen]

Hi Cristos Alberto,

You should divide them by semicolon:

<appSettings>
    <add key="Telerik.Web.UI.StyleSheetFolders" value="~/Styles;~/Styles1" />
</appSettings>

Help! I'm on the latest release bits,  I cannot get RadStylehseetManager to accept multiple paths

HTML1
The style sheet '~/CSS/StyleSheet1.css' is not located in any of the 'Style Sheet' folders designated in the web.config.

HTML2
Failed to map the path '/CSS/StyleSheet1.css'.

Web.Config

 

<appSettings>

    <add key="Telerik.Web.UI.StyleSheetFolder" value="~/App_Themes;~/CSS;~/CSS2" />

  </appSettings>

 

HTML

    <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager runat="server" ID="RadStyleSheetManager1">

        <StyleSheets>

</StyleSheets>

</telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

Hi Dan,

In general when using the RadStyleSheetManager in your application the paths set in the web.config file need to be relative to the root of the application as explained in the Serving external style sheets help article. Also when you register the stylesheets in the RadStyleSheetManager the paths to the files can be relative to the root or to the folder containing the current page. Please take a look at the above mentioned help article and in case this does not help I would ask you to open a support ticket where you can attach a very simplified runnable project so I ca test you scenario locally and help you out.

My application uses the configSource property to specify a file for appSettings like this:

 <!-- Stored in a seperate file because some settings are environment specific --> 
  <appSettings configSource="App_Data\AppSettings.config" />

When I do that, all settings work fine except for the Telerik.Web.UI.StyleSheetFolders setting. So, two questions:

1. If the path is specified in the Path property of the StyleSheetReference, then why do we need to specify a folder? It seems redundant.   
     
2. If, for whatever reason, the StyleSheetFolders appSetting is required, then why doesn't it work if it is specified in a separate file specified by configSource?

Hello,

Regarding your questions:

1. If the path is specified in the Path property of the StyleSheetReference, then why do we need to specify a folder? It seems redundant.    - This has been done for security reasons, but it is already redundant and we will remove it soon.
     
2. If, for whatever reason, the StyleSheetFolders appSetting is required, then why doesn't it work if it is specified in a separate file specified by configSource?- In general there should be no problem defining the app Settings in a separate configuration file.
