Hi,

I'm currently creating a theme through an ELM file.
but when I update the ELM file, how I can reapply it to my my website?
recalculate hyperlinks doesn't works.

does FP 2003 put some information in a cache?

thanks for your guide.

Jerome.

After you have create the them ELM file have you put it in you custom Theme Folder?

ts a custom theme, put in the user theme folder
the ELM file is correct.
but once I've applyed it, I can't reapply it !
so, I've changes some CSS information in the ELM file, but FP doesn't
reapply the new content.

actually, I must "save as" the theme in a new folder and them I'll change
this new theme, then I can apply this new one.
its long and not beautyfull!!!
any other solution?

Any time you modify a theme, you must save it under a new name, remove the current theme and apply
your new modified theme.

Is there a reason why you aren't using the Customize command within
FrontPage rather than opening the ELM itself? I would recommend never
modifying the ELM directly.

I don't modify the ELM,

I unpack it and repack it. with the script provides on the MS support web
site.
why this?

because I prefer to edit CSS files under Visual Studio (the user interface
is simplier to use : right click on the class to change instead-of a long
scrolling in the list!)
also because I package images on the ELM file

FP applies the theme initially from the .elm file, but used the _themes folder files to the actual theme unless you edit the theme
in FP
- to get it to recognize you .elm edit you need to remove an reapply the theme or save as a new theme name in FP (not just change
the .elm content)

That's the fastest way to clear a theme of all the ~ 30KB of WSS code not needed in any site not running under WSS (-;
- I often edit the ELM to customize a theme and rid it of unused images and styles, thus reduce the overhead for page loads
significantly
