Hi There,

I modified ES mod_easysocial_albums and created my own version where I can select what Group or User that I want it pull Albums from.

Anyways, I am in the part that I need to modify the CSS LESS. Regardless of what I change in the LESS and it got compiled properly in the Theme compiler, I also checked the .css output and everything looks fine but the module style.css is not being loaded.

Where is it being loaded then? Does ES compile the module style.css into the base.css?

Thanks,

Jackson
Hello Jackson,

I personally reckon that you add css overrides in your Joomla template's css file instead of modifying the core css files. In the future, you will have maintenance nightmare when you upgrade because these core css files would be overwritten during upgrades.

You can also have a custom.css file generated in EasySocial as outlined in http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/templating/adding-custom-css-codes

Hi Mark,

I'm not thinking of modifying the core css but instead I'd like to use the style.less file inside the module. I can't use the less file for styling in the module that I modified?

I currently use the template css to style the module.

Thanks,

Jackson

Hello Jackson,

Can you remove _cache, _log and style.css, so that the LESS compiler will recompile the .css file for you.
