This might be a simple question, but with Channel Forms, the documentation says:
<link href="{path=css/_ee_channel_form_css}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
I see a channel_form.css file in themes>cp_themes>default>css, but I'm wondering: how does Channel Form see that file? Or am I supposed to copy the file, rename, and place in css folder elsewhere? I guess I'm not getting how this "path" works.
You shouldn't have to worry about location of the ee channel form css in a default ee install. The {path=css/_ee_channel_form_css} variable will automatically be replaced when the template is parsed and point to the correct css. Just use:
<link href="{path=css/_ee_channel_form_css}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
If you need to you can always override parts of it with inline css, other css loaded after, or through javascript.
