Hi

As i see here on the forum, it is possible to set up a solution to render less on-the-fly with a built in less renderer in dynamicweb?

How can I configure a solution to run on a less stylesheet file instead of css?

Hi Hans,

We are using dotless for handling the .less files. 

We provide some functionality that generates less/css based on website settings and compiles all the .less files in specific folders to .css, which you can then reference in your template. See Dotless & website settings.

You can also just register a handler in web.config and you will be able to reference .less files directly and they will be parsed at runtime.

Scroll to the bottom of web.config and add the following inside the <handlers> section - right before the StaticFile handler.

<add name="less-handler" type="dotless.Core.LessCssHttpHandler,dotless.Core" path="*.less" verb="*" />

You can now add something like this to your template...

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/Files/test.less" />

Best regards,
Morten

Ok, perfect Morten

But this would require the solution being a Custom solution, correct?
