I cannot get /templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css to override anything on this template. Something I’m missing? I don’t want to change core files in case I have to update.. Or do I not have to worry about it given the age? I’d still like to use custom.css so I don’t have to find each rule in different files.

What version of JA Mendozite are you using – J2.5 or J3.x?

So that I can try to best assist you, please provide the url of the site you’re working on,
as well as set “Optimize CSS” to “No/Off” within your Template Manager–General settings

Trainongear.com
I turned it to off. I also added <file>templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css</file> in <stylesheets></stylesheets> in the default layout

What elements are you trying to modify – pick one, for example.

Also, it appears that you’ve added a shopping cart to your site. If the CSS you’re attempting to modify relates to the shopping cart component, know that “custom.css” may not work as it does with the core T3/template CSS issues. In those cases, you will need to work with the relative CSS files for the shopping cart.

I would just like anything I put into custom.css to work… Element Inspector isn’t calling anything from custom.css. I’m only currently working on the h1.logo, but going forward I would like to use this file to only make my css changes using custom.css. Like the other 40 Joomla sites I’ve created 😉 Just wondering if there’s something different that needs to be done to get it to call on your guyses installation.

Can you provide an example – say for your h1.logo – that you have put into your custom.css file?

When I’m inspecting your CSS, I do not see any reference to a custom.css file – so something is not working as it should. (and I know you know how to use custom.css – as you have indicated).

h1.logo a {
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat left;
display: block;
width: 160px;
height: 500px;
}

I’ve also added these two just so after troubleshooting a million things I know if it’s worked

.ja-megamenu {
display: none;
}

.main .main-inner1 {
display: none;
}

Yeah that’s what’s confusing is it’s not grabbing anything from custom.css. I’ve added it to /templates/ja_mendozite/css, /templates/ja_mendozite/themes/yellow, and /templates/system/css. I’ve edited my .htaccess. I’ve added the stylesheet to both the template config and component.php. I’m confuzzed.

You are free to put any of your custom CSS rules into templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css, but, as it already has been mentioned to you, please be advised that JoomlArt only guarantees you that rules within that file will work for JA Mendozite template only.

Regards,

Alex

Thank you for your reply, and I did see Tom’s comment on this. I am not trying to edit the CSS for the shopping cart at all. I will edit the specific CSS when it comes to that. I’m only editing Joomlart content.

Review the following documentation –> CUSTOM.CSS <– and see if there is, perhaps, a step you may have missed. If not, let me know and we will work on this further.

Well, I feel that may have been irrelevant to my situation unfortunately. I am not using a T3 template, only the T3 framework that comes within the JA quickstart package. Regardless, I’ve downloaded all plugins from T3’s site, and enabled all, still to no avail.

The quickstart with content installed correctly, but the /templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css does not work on my site.

EDIT: I think I might just delete my database and install and start from scratch. From the research I’ve done, noone else seems to be having the problem, so.

Probably a prudent step to take at this point . . . Let us know how the new install goes.
