In my personal point of view,
Omega theme is the best
Drupal theme I've worked to date. It's the theme we use for our projects because its pretty impressive, with interesting features as:
- Fully Responsive Grid layouts based on 960.gs standards.
- 12, 16, 24 Column Layouts built in.
- HTML5 and XHTML Starterkits
- Content first layouts with push/pull classes.
- Every region/zone size and placement configurable.
- Apply custom CSS classes to any region/zone.
- Create contextual layouts with the Delta module.
While I was working on a project, I ran into a bug that only happened in Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
What a shock! /sarcasm> So I started searching for the best way to use conditional CSS and I found
this link.
For the people that don't know what are conditional css, they are css declarations aimed at specific browsers (almost everytime Internet Explorer). To know more about this, I leave here this link.
How To Create an IE-Only Stylesheet
Although there is a module
Conditional Styles that easily manages the addition of conditional CSS, Omega loads the conditional CSS before the theme's CSS. This causes that the changes made for IE are overriden by the theme's stylesheets. The solution turned to be simpler than I thought: we place the function below, in the
template.php of our subtheme and we add the CSS in our
css folder.
function [subtheme name]_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
// Añadir hojas de estilo condicionales para IE
drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/css/ie-lte-8.css', array('group' => CSS_THEME, 'browsers' => array('IE' => 'lte IE 8', '!IE' => FALSE), 'preprocess' => FALSE));
drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/css/ie-lte-7.css', array('group' => CSS_THEME, 'browsers' => array('IE' => 'lte IE 7', '!IE' => FALSE), 'preprocess' => FALSE));
drupal_add_css(path_to_theme() . '/css/ie-6.css', array('group' => CSS_THEME, 'browsers' => array('IE' => 'IE 6', '!IE' => FALSE), 'preprocess' => FALSE));
}
I hope this will be useful, any questions or doubts can be written on the comments below and I will answer them.
