I am having trouble adding my custom css file work in Sharepoint 2013 foundation. I added a link tag in both v4.master and seattle master pages but to no avail. I thought it would be straight forward or as easy as Sharepoint 2010.
Could you help explain this to me? Also I can't find the _layouts folder that holds the core15.css file.
Or is there a link that I can go to with tutorials and etc?
The layouts folder can be found at the following location
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
The COREV15.CSS file can be found at
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES
Were 1033 is the installed language folder.
You can register your CSS for example below the default corev15.css like this
<SharePoint:CssRegistration Name="Themable/corev15.css" runat="server" />
<SharePoint:CssRegistration Name="/_layouts/15/styles/<youre css file here>" runat="server" />
There is one more property of a SharePoint site called AlternateCssUrl. You would use this property if you don’t want to create a MasterPage or a Theme, but just apply a skin on the SharePoint default look – by specifying a value for this property, you make SharePoint include your style sheet in its pages.
