CSS Override isn't working for me…

[curtisblackwell]

I added 'MARKDOWN_GLOBAL_CSS' => NSM_BASEPATH . '/themes/third_party/_overrides/markdown/markdown.css', to NSM Config Bootstrap.

There is no change to my preview pane, and the Default CSS File URL in the fieldtype settings remains at the default. With other overrides, the CP setting is updated to reflect what's in the file, so I expected that to happen here, too.

Here's an excerpt of the file:

$default_config = array(

    // Add-ons
    // Markdown
    'MARKDOWN_GLOBAL_CSS' => NSM_BASEPATH . '/themes/third_party/_overrides/markdown/markdown.css',

    …

);

P.S. It would be good to have the override variable with an example in the docs.

Ah, I have it set as a PHP constant, not a configuration variable in the application. (Much like NSM_BASEPATH in that example is a constant).

You would have to do:
define("MARKDOWN_GLOBAL_CSS" => NSM_BASEPATH . '/themes/third_party/_overrides/markdown/markdown.css');

I'm currently not using EE config object for the fieldtype, as it is a separate add-on.

I agree, more documentation on this portion would be helpful :D

Ah, cool, i'll give that a try later tonight/tomorrow morning. My PHP
knowledge is pretty limited…

should actually be define('MARKDOWN_GLOBAL_CSS', NSM_BASEPATH . '/themes/third_party/_overrides/markdown/markdown.css');, but the style still isn't being overwritten. nor is the path updating in the CP.

I'll check in on that when I have a few this afternoon :D

[curtisblackwell]

Even changing the variable in Markdown's config.php has no effect in the CP.

Sounds like one of two scenarios:

1. I missed replacing a variable in the code
   or
2. You need to uninstall and then reinstall the fieldtype

I also just realized that the config variable won't override the current setting, it simply serves as the initial value used when installing the fieldtype.

I'll have to do some more leg work to make an over-ride variable.

Ah, that must be the issue (the non-override part). That would be necessary
for working properly in multiple environments.
