Styles dumped into Header.php transfer to stylesheet
I really don't like the dynamic CSS aspect of the Atahualpa theme for one reason only: it adds 650+ lines of code to the header.php file. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here's an example:
PHP Code:
/* This is pulled straight from the header.php file */
a:link, a:visited, a:active {
color: #<?php echo $bfa_ata_link_color; ?>;
font-weight: <?php echo $bfa_ata_link_weight; ?>;
text-decoration: <?php echo $bfa_ata_link_default_decoration; ?>;
}
CSS needs to be kept separate from HTML and PHP files. It's the proper way to do it, and it makes for cleaner front-end code. There has to be a better way for the Atahualpa theme to do this so as not to clog up our PHP files with something that shouldn't be in a PHP file to begin with. I've tried pulling all of the CSS declarations out of header.php and keeping them in a style.php file (based on an article I read at css-tricks.com - click here to read ). This did not work however - the PHP was not properly executed, almost as if it were automatically commented out of the file.
And so I wonder: has anyone successfully separated the CSS from the Header.php file into it's own file?
The obvious solution would be to just ignore the Atahualpa Theme Options as a means of editing the CSS, and just dumping the generated CSS into the style.css file. That would defeat the purpose of the Atahualpa Theme editor, which I think is a great feature that needs to stay intact.
