Problems seeing my xdv changes in Plone

132 views Asked by At

It seems like lots of people are using xdv successfully so this must be something I'm not getting about xdv. I am running 4.0.3 on my local server (Mac). I have a xdv theme running in Plone (diazo.example.com) and I am trying to modify the styles. I can see my changes on apache and DW but they do not appear in Plone. I have debug mode on. I tried deactivating and activating the theme and emptying the cache. No luck, the site does not update. I thought it was 'easy' to make changes on-the-fly with xdv but this has me stumped. I didn't register the stylesheets in CSS registry. Is that a critical step or optional?

On another note, is it worth it to switch to diazo and plone.app.theming? What are the major benefits of doing so?

Thanks!

I absolutely recommend that you switch to diazo and plone.app.theming. This is most easily done by starting with Plone 4.1.x instead of Plone 4.0.x. Get a copy at http://plone.org/products/plone/releases/4.1

Then, using buildout, install plone.app.theming. You may have a few issues with lxml, but since you've already done xdv I figure you've conquered that already.
