How to get "forums.css" loaded on own page?

[Refsmmat]

Hi,

I use some of the forum grid view css styles on my own page. Is there a way to force the "forums.css" file to get loaded? Per default it is not getting loaded on an own page.

Of course I could use a <link stylesheet> tag to load it, but that would then a fixed one from the current theme. If I allow my users to change the theme (dark/light mode) I would not be able to point to the "forums.css" of the current selected skin, but would always hard code to the file of one specific theme.

So I wonder if there is a way to get the "forums.css" file automatically loaded?

If have tried to place all forum widgets/blocks on the page, but none triggered the "forums.css" file to get loaded.

Regards, Tom.

If your own page is made with Pages, then you can add this to the page template:

{{\IPS\Output::i()->cssFiles = array_merge( \IPS\Output::i()->cssFiles, \IPS\Theme::i()->css( 'forums.css', 'forums', 'front' ) );}}
