Hi guys,

I did a bunch of customizations to "style.css" and "style1.css" files in EasySocial 1.1. Now the CSS is coming from "base.min.css" and "more.min.css". How do I move my customizations to ES 1.2? Do I have to manually re-do everything?

Thanks,

James
I'll let the stacked team address the customizations from ES 1.1 to ES 1.2. In the future I highly recommend using a CSS module to insert your own custom CSS. This way you don't lose any changes that you make when upgrades occur. Every once in a while you may have to tweak something.

Yes, good idea. I'm still really confused as to how to edit the CSS now that minified files are used. Before it was easy with Firebug to see what file and line I needed to edit. Now I'm lost. I tried using @import (as suggested in other posts) to use my old style and style1 css files, but that didn't seem to work. I'll try the CSS module; thanks for the tip.

When it comes to minifiers and such it's best to figure out another way to put in the CSS code to prevent it from being over written. Another perk is that the CSS module does not actually cache the changes. This means if you mod the code, your uses will see the changes in real time rather than when the cache clears.

Hello James,

Ideally, if you are performing "minor css changes", you should place your overrides in your Joomla's template css file. If you are a more experienced web developer, what you want to do is to follow the guide at http://docs.stackideas.com/developers/themes/getting_started and start working on LESS files. If you start working on LESS, you'll love every bits of it
