I want to change dashboard color to black. How to do it so when installing new version of easysocial to keep the black color automatically?
You need to place your customizations in your template's css file so that your changes would not be overwritten

Hello Sazz,

We do not have a manual for that, but it is recommended to put your customization in your template folder instead of easyblog folders as it will be erased when installing updates.

Thanks:)

Hello Sazz,

This is just a very basic idea on how you can override the css. Create the file below:

/templates/YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_easysocial/styles/style.css

Then, you are good to go EasySocial will load this file instead.

And it will load just the changes. If i put there just the modified rows. Other code will load from easysocial folder ? Is that right?

Thanks.

If you don`t change easysocial template it`s acceptable.

Hello Sazz,

No unfortunately as the idea of overriding css files is to re-design EasySocial altogether. If you are only making "minor" changes, all you have to do is to add your css changes into your template's css file
