Hi,
I’ve just migrated Xibo v3 to v4
I had to update my layouts and templates because I my clocks and text polices were broken
But more important, with Xibo v4 I have 2 issues:
When I’m addng a Dataset widget, I don’t anywere a place for custom CSS and custom Javascript. It’s happening when I’m creating new tempaltes but with my templates created in Xibo v3, I still see the custom CSS and Javascript textarea
Any idea ?

In the meantime you can put the HTML bit (all the way up to \) into your HTML to embed field. And the code inside your \ in the HEAD content to embed field. Most users do not know about HTML/CSS/etc and having these options in the editor created a lot of confusion. We now have developer tools fo…

Hi, not really, when you open an old template with the custom CSS, the CSS is applied correclty but you don’t have the option to edit it
And now, with Xibo 4.0.5, old template with custom CSS on Dataset widget are conisdered as corrupted
