I've tried to run som dot Less code (lesscss.org) on a dynamicweb solution, but can't get it to work somehow. Are there any restrictions in DW, which conflict with .less files?

Kind regards
Peter

I have the same problem. The server (DW) responds with 406 (Not Acceptable)

Everything else checks out fine when running the templatefile in a broeser, but when I render with DW it failes.

It may be the server configuration that causes this. Can you provide an example site where we can see the issue? (Send an email to me, mri@dynamicweb.dk, if you prefer to not share the url publicly).

Best regards,
Mikkel

Hi Peter and Richard,

 

We have developed a simple module that allows for:

 - blank module template - allow, for eg. set a template with Google Maps, letting the user change translate tags - this is pre-Items generation

 - compile and minify javascript files

 - preprocess LESS files, compile less (result) and css, and minify

 

Would this be of interest?

 

Nuno

The error comes up on this URL: http://sinding.net.dynamicweb-cms.com/nb-NO/Forside.aspx?Purge=True

See the serverresponse here: http://screencast.com/t/3aerJPQzA

 

If the server can accept .less 

 

Nuno:
At the moment I'd like the server to accept .less. I'll keep you in mind :)

I'm not an expert on LESS, but I think you should change your markup a bit (cf. http://lesscss.org/#client-side-usage), i.e. use

<link href="/Files/Templates/Designs/Førerkortbeslag/styles.css" rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" media="screen" />

rather than

<link href="/Files/Templates/Designs/Førerkortbeslag/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/less" media="screen" />

Requesting the stylesheet with type text/less results in the 406 error (see http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E406.html).

Best regards,
Mikkel
