Hello Steve,

I am not really sure what you mean by "force refresh style" but where did you placed your css customizations? Ideally, you should just place the css changes / hacks into your template's css file.

Hello Mark,

I mean, if i edit style for example more.min.css users should press F5 othervise they will not get new look.
Also found this option

<link rel="stylesheet" href="more.min.css?v=1.1">

but where is the main file which includes css?

Thats why im asking, how to force users to get new style without do refresh.

Hello Steve,

Ideally, you should not modify the more.min.css file because these are generated from the "less" files. If you are making changes to the css, you should place your changes in your template's css file.

We might add a new custom.css as override in the future to avoid confusions in the future so you can just place your changes under /templates/YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_easysocial/css/custom.css

Mark's right that it's best to insert css outside of the component. Mark's latest reply made me think of an interesting idea: In ES's settings an optional text field called "Custom Code" where you could place in code that displays through out the ES component. It could render JS and CSS, and possibly other codes if appropriate. This would make it easy to make changes without the usage of a ftp and would be more obvious where to place code tweaks.

Hello Josh,

We did actually thought about this but if your hosting provider still uses conventional hard disks, it's going to have performance issue if the script needs to keep performing checks if the file exists on the specified path.

And with CSS I take it the issue is about it not being cached? Couldn't editing the text area modify the custom.css just like how Joomla does with the template manager? I know I'm swapping subjects from JS to CSS considering that you mentioned the performance issues with JS.

Hello Josh,

Yes, but what you don't see is the performance loss here. Whenever the script tries to do things like checking if a file exists on the server takes a small amount of load time. Although it's just a very tiny footprint, everything counts when users are still stuck with a messed up web hoster

Fair enough. A custom.css file sounds like our best option then with the ability to do a template over ride.

Thanks for the heads up on this Josh

Not saying we need this any time soon, but figured I would create a voice for this as seen here: http://stackideas.com/voices/easysocial/item/528
