Not lose changes when updating files in archives style.min.css and more.style.css
Thank's
Do you mean when updating to the newest version of EasySocial? Why not add style updates to your template's CSS file (like the override.css with Gavick templates, or the custom.css file with T3)? You may need to include an "!important;" rule to make it work, but you will never need to address any core overrides.

Hello Jason,

I am sorry for the late reply.
I can't understand you well. Do you mean, issue when updating EasySocial, the style.min.css doesn't get updated or you didn't want style.min.css get updated?

Please be advise.
Thanks.

Hello Justin,

Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jason,

It is not advisable to do customization in the style.min.css and more.min.css because it will get replaced by the latest style.min.css and more.min.css in the latest EasySocial installer. I recommend to you to move the customizations in both files into Joomla template file, since Joomla template file will not get override by the installer. You also can backup the style.min.css and more.min.css before updating EasySocial so that you can revert back to your original site. If you have anymore question, please don't hesitate to ask us.

Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Hello Jason,

What you can do is you need to copy all the customization in both files (style.min.css and more.min.css) and revert it back to the original. You can use this documentation as a guide: http://docs.stackideas.com/administrators/templating/template_overrides . You also can follow these steps:-
1. After that, create the styles folder in /templates/YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_easysocial/styles.
2. Create your own style.css in the folder that you just created above.
3. Inside the style.css must have 3 @import before override the styling..
@import "/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/base.min.css";
@import "/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/style.min.css";
@import "/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/more.min.css";
4. Paste all the customization that you have done in both files here.
/*Easysocial custom styles*/
body div#fd.es .es-stream-meta .es-stream-title {
font-size: 11px;
}
By doing this, all your customization will not get override if you update EasySocial. If you have anymore question or encounter problems, please don't hesitate to ask us.

Looking forward to hear from you again.
Thanks.
