CSS priorities

[lalquier]

Hi. Is there a way to ensure a CSS file is processed AFTER the CSS files used by Chameleon? (including a Bootswatch theme).

I would like to make adjustments and I played with the resource loader definition, but not matter what I have tried so far, the CSS file from Chameleon is loaded last and takes priority over my changes.

Is this not working for you?

$egChameleonExternalStyleModules = [
	__DIR__ . '/themes/united_bootswatch.scss' => 'afterMain',
];

Thanks for the quick reply!
That works for Bootswatch already. My question is about where to place my own additional 'wiki.css' stylesheet to override both the Mediawiki, Chameleon and Bootswatch stylesheets for adjustments.

What happens when you add another entry after Bootswatch?

$egChameleonExternalStyleModules = [
	__DIR__ . '/themes/united_bootswatch.scss' => 'afterMain',
	__DIR__ . '/wiki.scss' => 'afterMain',
];

Or do you want your CSS file to be completely separate from the whole Chameleon/Boostrap config?

When I do that, it messes up the Bootswatch theme completely. I suppose that is because I have a CSS file with customizations, and not another SCSS file to apply on top of Bootswatch.

Any CSS file is a valid SCSS file so it shouldn't necessarily be a problem. When you say it gets messed up, does that mean there is no styling at all (just white and black text) or is it partially showing some of the theme?

I spoke too soon. The Bootswatch theme is fine. I was just applying changes I didn't see before because they were cached.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will test changes from the wiki.css file in a few hours (I am running into a series of meetings at work).

I checked it and that ended up just moving my problem. The custom css file was indeed placed after Chameleon and Themes, but it came before other extensions I was also trying to override.

It looks like what I am after is wider than Chameleon and about placing a CSS file on top of everything else in the wiki.

Thanks again for the help.. I will keep looking in the resource loader documentation.
