Please bear with me.
I have tried to find information on how to do this and it seems that not many others have tried to do the same thing.
I have 2 different software apps that I want to integrate - both PHP based - Both Web server oriented.
The first app is phpBB and I would like to use the multiple themes available for phpbb in both apps. Because I am integrating them - don't care about the second app's original styles...
HOWEVER I would like to use the second app without doing a search and replace on all class tags in his code. Some of them are the same - but some are different.
What I was hoping is that there was some way I could make a "translation layer" for the phpBB CSS so that my other software could read the phpBB CSS dynamically. With the number of themes that phpBB has I would really rather NOT re-write each CSS file individually. If thats what it is in the end I'll do it - but it would be quite a pain...
Maybe the answer is to have some kind of script routine that can do a re-write for me ... But I suspect that this would be prone to bugs.
Of course the phpBB CSS is straight HTML - no php in there! If it WAS php that would be too easy...
