  I'm trying to develop a theme that uses a dynamic stylesheet: style.php
  
  In it, I would like to references some background-images ala:{code]' background: URL('.$imagepath.'/lr.gif) no-repeat bottom right;'."\n".
  [/code]The problem is that $imagepath seems to be completely empty.
  
  for that matter, so do $pagewidth, $lcolwidth and $rcolwidth.
  
  the $colors arrays seems to be available however.
  
  Any idea how to solve this issue?

  OK, I've corrected this problem.
  
  The $pagewidth, etc vars seem to work now, but I'm not sure what has changed, so I can't explain it.
  
  In order for the $imagepath to be available, I inserted the following at the top of style.php
  

  Code

  <?php
  global $imagepath;

  Please note that $imagepath is not available unless the theme is selected as your theme (or the default site theme). It cannot be accessed upon theme init or viewing from the theme listing in Xanthia. :(
  
  Here's how I got around it: (this in style.php)
  

  Code

  function ch_getimagepath($skin)
  {
      $path = pnGetBaseURI();
      $directory = 'themes/'.pnVarPrepForOS($skin).'/images';
      if($path!='') $path.='/';
      $imagepath=$path.$directory;
      return $imagepath;
  }
  global $imagepath;
  if ($imagepath == "") $imagepath = ch_getimagepath($skin); // imagepath not available on themeinit
  if (substr($imagepath,0,1) <> "/") $imagepath = "/".$imagepath;
  
  $stylesheet =
  '   background: url('.$imagepath.'/ur.gif) no-repeat top right;'."\n";

  I had to modify it a little more because the $imagepath is sometimes returned as the *current* imagepath and not the one for the theme being installed... so the bottom part of the code there should look like:
  
  

  Code

  global $imagepath;
  if (!strpos($imagepath,$skin)) $imagepath = ch_getimagepath($skin); // imagepath doesn't contain theme name
  if ($imagepath == "") $imagepath = ch_getimagepath($skin); // imagepath not available on themeinit
  if (substr($imagepath,0,1) <> "/") $imagepath = "/".$imagepath;
