Hi all,

I installed in Joomla 3.1 , T3 Framework 1.2.4. and t3_blank template. I made some changes using Firebug and Firefile (for save an server) as described bellow:

1. Duplicate template t3-blank with other name.
2. Set the new template as default.
3. Create menu and content.
4 Switch Enable Development Mode to YES.
5. Enter in frontend site and made some changes with firebug and saved with firefile. Everything is ok. Refreshing tab show that.
6. Return to joomla back end and pres button Compile LESS to CSS give message “Compile succesfull”.
7. Switch Enable Development Mode to No and save but…
8. Returning to the frontend of the site, reloading the page and… the changes are gone!

What am I doing wrong? If I return to development mode, the changes are still there!
Is neccesary to work only on .css files? I dont have custom.css file in t3-blank template (on server)

Thanks in advance for any help!

I don’t know why you want to change template name?

If you would like to change template style you can work from step 1->7 that’s right. But configuration be kept same between the two themes. You may need to customize theme to display well with the new template style

You can have a look at user guide of JAT3 framework Template for reference: http://t3-framework.org/documentation.html

hello,
i have the same problem.
I make changes in: t3-assetsdevname_of_my_templatetemplates.t3_blank.less.bootstrap.less.css
from
.span8 {
width: 624px;
}
to
span8 {
width: 960px;
}

After this i turn off develpment mode and compile less to css. My changes won’t to save.
In this compiled file: templatest3_blankcssthemesname_of_my_templatebootstrap.css is still old value :
.span8 {
width: 624px;
}.

It looks like css files are compiled not from this files where i have made changes.
Maybe i do something wrong so please someone tell me what.
I have tried this on newest versions of Joomla 2.5 and 3.1, on custom and default themes. Framework and template 1.4.1. XAMPP 1.8.2.

Best regards

Yes, when you change from css file and click Compile LESS to CSS button, all customize from css files will be overridden, you can use another way:

– Create custom.css file in templates/t3_blank/css/ path

– Add new rule

span8 {
width: 960px;
}

Let me know if it helps

That’s right, custom.css is that what i need. Everything works after Compile less to css, when Development mode is off and also when Optimize css is on.

Thanks very much.
