Hi,

I followed the examples but am only getting the default tango themed slideshow. I think maybe I'm a bit lost on the less module stuff, around step number 5. Perhaps you could help explain what's going on with that. Colorbox works fine by the way.

I'll attach a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

Thanks,
Tim

Hey twooten,

i believe explaining LESS module usage is a bit out of the subject area of Views Carousel documentation.

In short, you should install and enable the module, then add stylesheets[all] = filename.less to your theme.info, then create the .less file and add LESS code into it, then purge theme registry.

Hi lolmaus,

Yea, that's what I thought. It seemed as though it was fairly straight forward. The LESS module didn't have any sort of administrative setup page or anything, looks like you just install it and you add "stylesheets[all] = filename.less" to the .info file.

I've tried the process on two sites so far and three different themes, Garland, WhiteJazz and Acquia Marina. I noticed that in Acquia Marina's .info file, things look like this
stylesheets[all][] = style.css
stylesheets[all][] = icons.css
stylesheets[all][] = dblog.css

So I tried "stylesheets[all][] = filename.less", added the LESS code you provided to filename.less, then purged the registry, but still got the default tango themed carousel.

I tried "stylesheets[all] = filename.less" and after purging the registry, lost all css styling.

Anyway, maybe if someone else has had any luck here they'll chime in.

Thanks,
Tim

I'm building my theme ontop the Fusion Starter theme.

My info file contains this:

stylesheets[all][] = css/alfamb4-style.less

My theme's folder includes:

alfamb4.info
css/alfamb4-style.less

Dunno what can be wrong. :(
