I am having trouble with LESS to CSS. Not getting the message “Successfully compile LESS to CSS” when I try to compile LESS to CSS.
I have tried it both ways – while development mode is ON and also when it is OFF.

So, with development mode on – all is looking as expected.
With development off – there are vertical white lines between menu items, and the color of the submenus is not as I have changed it.

This was the main problem I had with Bookshop before. Since then, I started over from the beginning.

First i would try to update to current ja_bookshop version.

Download the latest version and install it.

And also update your T3 version.

Maybe there are few bugs already solved in current version..

Then, let me know if the issues occurs.

Thank you

I downloaded the newer bookshop template, also T3, also updated Joomla.

Tried to compile LESS to CSS and still did not get the success message.
However, now there is no difference in Development ON or OFF.
The LESS changes do not show.
Also, all the Custom HTML modules that I made are not showing. I see them in the backend, but I don’t know why they are not showing.
Bestsellers – Fiction (should show on Home page in JA-Tabs2 position)
Bestsellers – Non-Fiction (should show on Home page in JA-Tabs2 position)
Newbery Medal Books – Submenu of Children
Caldecott Medal Books – Submenu of Children
Overdrive – on Research Menu item
Footer Map (from JA_Decor) was on footer of Home and INFO – now it is not.

*** FTP is not set up ***

Thanks,
Nancy

I had several changes that did not survive the updates.

Favicon changed back to Joomla. Easy enough to change back.

Layout changes went back to original —so this time I saved with a new name for the layout. This is where my custom HTML modules disappeared – in the layout that disappeared.

My menu spacing also changed. How do I save this?
/templates/ja_bookshop/tpls/blocks/header.php and make change in these 2 lines:
– Line 20: $logosize = ‘col-md-6’;

– Line 79: <nav id=”t3-mainnav” class=”col-xs-12 col-md-6 t3-mainnav navbar navbar-default hidden-sm”>
[change it to:<nav id=”t3-mainnav” class=”col-xs-12 col-md-8 t3-mainnav navbar navbar-default hidden-sm”>

So, I am almost back to normal —-
still with the original problem of NOT being able to compile LESS to CSS.

I found the solution to this problem on the following post – thank you Ninja Lead!
http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/less-compile-to-css-continous-running/

“But I don’t think it resolves the problem compile LESS to CSS option on your site, if you want to run compile LESS to CSS you have to set from php.ini file”

max_execution_time: 300
memory_limit = 128M

My php.ini had ******* max_execution_time: 30 and the memory_limit was 128M
I changed it to ******* max_execution_time: 300 ** still not enough time
I changed it to ******* max_execution_time: 3000 ** this worked, it gave enough time for the process to complete, which was about 6 minutes.

There is a red line that shows the progress along the top of the window.
And then a Blue Ribbon across the top that says Successfully compile LESS to CSS.
