Any updates on the ablity to implement LESS compiler in DW? :-)

Hi Mikkel

We do not have any firm plans of doing this - but you can quite easy add it to your solution using http://www.dotlesscss.org/

What does other frontenders say? Native less/sass support in Dynamicweb - would it be something that will be used by many?

Hey Nicolai,

Thank you for the quick answer. I know we've used SquishIt and dotless in several projects, not Dynamicweb though, however the setup should be some way the 'same'.

Though we've decided to implement a Gulp task on our current project: http://gulpjs.com/.

Hi Nicolai,

We've been using LESS compiling through a ashx handler for some years now with awesome results for the frontenders time and maintenance point-of-view. Given a few parameters (like getImage) it returns the preprocessed results. We simply update the less file (in our IDE or in DW's file editor) and that's done.

We also include the ability to minify, exclude specific files, add external files and have cached versions (auto-detected newer versions)

Since Tech Conference 2013, a lot of people have approached me with that need. I beliebe it would be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Nuno

Hi

Has this been implemented as a standard Dynamicweb feature yet?

We are looking for a way to edit in less on the soution, and having it automatically being compiled to minfied css
