Hi,
I have very small but very annoying problem. I do everything according to the tutorial but….

My flow is following:
1. Dev mode – on
2. I do some changes in the LESS files
3. I can see all changes on my site
4. Dev mode – off
5. Save
6. Less to CSS
7. All changes are revert to the previous state on my site

When I turn on again Dev mode, all changes are visible.
Where the problem is? What I do wrong?

In the steps you outlined. I do not see where you cleared the Joomla and T3 Cache as well as the Cache in your browser.

Hi
@kokocinski: could you tell me more details of how you change in LESS file? I will try to reproduce it at my end to see what’s wrong here.

Sorry guys that i respond so late. I had short vacations.
@saguaros – Here (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4760985/Record_2014_08_03_12_53_00_659.avi) you can see a video which shows whole my process how I change LESS files (i tried to remove background image).
Maybe I am doing something wrong. This is my first joomla page with LESS.

Hi

When you enable the ‘Development Mode’, your site will load LESS file instead of CSS file. Hence, please make your own custom change via LESS file and DON’t custom file in t3-assets folder which holds optimized file only.

If you’re more familiar with CSS, you can add your change into this file: /templates/ja_decor/css/custom.css (if this file doesn’t exist, just create it).

You can check out this tips for how to customize css in templates using T3 framework: http://t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-customization#custom-css
