How to create a custom template for a visualisation plugin

[burghard]

Is it possible to create a custom template for a visualisation plugin (e. g. google maps plugin)? I saw that no custom*.css is loaded and the appropriate wiki page is empty.

Yes, you can add a custom.css to ...plugins\fabrik_visualization\googlemap\views\googlemap\tmpl\bootstrap\
or you can create a custom template ....plugins\fabrik_visualization\googlemap\views\googlemap\tmpl\xyz\

can I add custom.php too?

 

[burghard]

No neither custom.php nor custom_css.php is recognised in google map visualization plugin. It must be indeed a custom.css.

Yup. The custom_css.php tends to only be useful with lists and forms, where you often need to target your CSS to specific instances of a list, like Fabrik does in the main template_css.php, where we have to account for the possibility of multiple lists or forms on the same page, and add the list ID or the form & row IDs into the CSS selectors.

But as visualizations are almost always unique on a page, there's been no requirement for that, so we've not added it as a feature.

Do you have a specific requirement for a PHP stylesheet?

No! Not yet. I only asked, because I like this feature at lists.

 

[cheesegrits]

OK. It wouldn't hard to add, so if you find you need it, let me know.
