FireBrick Custom CSS: Difference between revisions

There is a danger of making the Firebrick’s web UI completely unusable with mistakes in your custom CSS. To avoid this, if you are using the Firebrick's XML config editor page, use the "Test" button rather than "Save" after making your edit, as this will roll back your change after a time limit if you are stuck.

* In order to be prepared for recovery from a bad modification, first download a good reference copy of the XML config file in advance, and then use an http upload tool - such as <code>curl</code> in Unix-like environments - to upload the good saved config file to the Firebrick. See the Firebrick manual for details on config uploading by http.

* Many web browsers have options that allow a webpage's CSS to be overridden, customised or ignored.

* Alternatively, depending on your chosen configuration options, you may be able to log in to the Firebrick's command line even if you find the web UI unusable.
