Hi,
We are developing template which support easydiscuss. Currently I am trying to override its default style by following the general override rules like I had copies com_easydiscuss to my TEMPLATE/html/com_easydiscuss and then themes/simplistic/styles/styles.css I am trying to edit here but not working. I had disable compiler from Layout > General settings. But still its finding css from components / com_easydiscuss. Any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
I had found tutorial here http://stackideas.com/forums/adding-extra-theme-in-easydiscuss and http://stackideas.com/forums/creating-css-overrides but when copy style.less and style.css then I am finding this error bellow.... Also when deleting everything from style.less then no css founding for the easydiscuss there totally a mess in front page.

Sorry!Templates/Interbizz/Html/Com_easydiscuss/Styles/Style.Less
ParseError: Unexpected Input In Anonymous-File-0.Less On Line 34, Column 1 32| */ 33| 34| (~"@{EasyDiscuss}") { 35| 36| // @BaseFontFamily: 'Lucida Grande', 'Gisha', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Lucida, Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif; 37| // Font-Family: @BaseFontFamily;

Hello,

When you are overriding the css file, you are basically telling EasyDiscuss to not load up any css files at all and it will respect your css files instead. If you override the css file, it's your responsibility to use the @import tags to import the stylesheet from EasyDiscuss

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I had imported style.css from my template source and its working. But how can I edit layout from php ? What is the rule to make new template by overriding your one. I can able to override or make new template but I need to know the rule to override the system. We have our own design layout we want to customize as usual for any component there is a rule to override php files also . What is the rule to override easydiscuss layout from its theme ?
Thanks

Hi Naimul,

If I understand you correctly, you want to do template override for php files isn't? You can put the file for template overriding in here: /templates/protostar/html/com_easydiscuss/

Hope this helps.
