Joomla dynamic stylesheet using template parameters in a css.php file
Question
I am trying create a template with a dynamic css.php file. I have spent the entire night googling for a solution to calling the joomla object class in a php file being used as a css file. I know Ive seen this done before, i just never paid attention to how it was accomplished. This is what I have so far.
Note - I do not want to use addstyledecloration as it is too cumbersome when dealing with more than a few params *
index.php:
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
require($this->baseurl.'templates/'.$this->template.'/includes/config.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<jdoc:include type="head" />
</head>
config.php:
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
//joomla configuration
JLoader::import('joomla.filesystem.file');
JHtml::_('jquery.framework', false);
JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$config = JFactory::getConfig();
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$template_path = $this->baseurl.'/'.'templates'.'/'.$this->template;
$jui_path = $this->baseurl.'/media/jui';
$doc->addStyleSheet($jui_path.'/css/bootstrap.min.css');
$doc->addStyleSheet($jui_path.'/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css');
$doc->addScript($jui_path.'/js/bootstrap.min.js');
$doc->addStyleSheet($template_path.'/css/template.css');
$doc->addStyleSheet($template_path.'/includes/template-css.php');
$doc->addScript($template_path.'/js/template.js');
?>
template-css.php:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/css");
?>
body {background-color: #000;}
body {background-color: <?php $this->params->get('body') ?>;}

You have to load the whole joomla framework as you are in a request outside of your Joomla environment. How to load Joomla can be found here JFactory failing to import . Now you can select the template parameters trough a database select or load more classes to get the template object (not sure how to do this, don't have my dev laptop around).

You must first add a color picker in your templatedetails.xml which contains the template parameters
<field name="themecolor" type="color" description="Color picker" label="Template Color"/> Then you must declare the variable in your config.php file
$themecolor = $this->params->get('themecolor');
$_SESSION['themecolor'] = $themecolor;
Now you will be able to use this variable in your css.php file
body {background-color: <?php echo $_SESSION['themecolor']; ?>}
You can read more about template parameters here https://docs.joomla.org/Understanding_Joomla!_templates#Parameters
