Strange CSS Caching Problem

I have the activity stream module installed and associated to different menu items. For some reason, different menu items are calling different css files, either compressed/minified or not. I've cleared cache from every module and rebuilt recompiled the easy social css files. Still am seeing the following behaviour.

minified file

non-minified

i'm stumped.

Hello Jaymz,

It seems like the more.min.css isn't loading on your other menu's for some reason. Are you on the latest version of EasySocial? Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Hi,

I'm not sure why other than you may be trying straight ftp. Change your protocol to sftp or scp. I've included the site details again.

Hi Jaymz,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

I've fixed the issue on your site and the fix will be added into next release of EasySocial as well. For the quick fix, edit the file 'JOOMLA/modules/mod_easysocial_stream/mod_easysocial_stream.php' and add below code at line after 41.

$modules->loadComponentStylesheets();


So your code should look like below:

Hope this help and have a nice day

Thank you very much. However, now I am having a problem with overrides. I am adding overrides to selectors that aren't overriding. For example, on the login module..

in my css override file is:

http://screencast.com/t/sXpBhOTVG

It's like the minification process is ignoring the override file?

Hello Jaymz,

Can you please provide us with the link to the page? I don't think there's any problem with your overrides, probably your selectors are not specific enough to override.

Sure: http://www.texasoutdoorexchange.com/

http://www.texasoutdoorexchange.com/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/base.min.css (file to be overriden)

http://www.texasoutdoorexchange.com/templates/rt_hexeris/css/rt_hexeris-custom.css (override)

Seems like it used to work.
