i have a site that uses Bootstrap 3 & there’s a carousel on it. in the carousel are DIV tags that have background images & some H4 titles & short bits of P text. but now the client wants quite a few more background images. basically, to kind of randomly pick a different background image + accompanying title/paragraph of text depending on what day it is, to shove in the carousel
i’ve made the extra images but putting them into the carousel is proving a little non-straightforward. the problem is that - in the site as it currently stands - i’ve hardcoded the filenames of the background images into a custom CSS file that Bootstrap uses to render the page
& you can’t use variables in CSS files!!! [or you can’t as far as i know]
now i am aware of LESS/SASS but don’t really understand it. can this be used to work out which image will be needed on a certain day & feed that into SOMETHING (don’t know what) that automatically generates a CSS file for the day in question???
anyways, help will be appreciated if it comes
plus, i’m thinking of just including a bunch of extra static CSS files which the site can choose from (again, depending on the day) in case LESS impacts the performance of the site too much
