Hello,

I am using T3 framework and Ja University template to build my Joomla! 3.4.4 website. In order to match with my graphical requirements I often modify the CSS of Joomlart (and others providers) modules.

Joomlart (and others providers) regularly provide updates of its modules and these updates usually overwrite the CSS modifications that have been made.

I have seen that on the backend administration of the template that Ja University (with T3 framework) gives the opportunity to create overrides but does it work also for CSS? If yes can you lease tell me how? I mean where do I have to store the CSS modified files in order for them to be considered in priority?

Regards

Hi

You can create a custom.css file where you can store all your css modifications , this file will be not overrided with new updates , Joomlart or other provider updates.

Take a look at the documentation HERE

Hello and thank you for your reply,

If I correctly understood you if for example I want to remove the blur effect on JA Slideshow Lite as described in this topic http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/how-to-remove-blur-in-left-and-right-side-of-the-slideshow/ I should make the code modifications and write them on this custom.css file?

If yes why does T3 framework gives the opportunity to create separated overrides for the modules? Can’t these overrides can been made separately as sugggested by template backend administration override management? I say that because I think (it is just a personal opinion) that it is more proper to do it that way.

Regards

Yes it is correct, add that code to the custom.css file and it will be valid for all module updates , never will be overrided.

The overrided module templates/yourtemplate/html/ override the structure of the module and not the css

since ( taking the above example ) the blur effect is obtained applying a css rule you will need of a css override and you have 2 options

1) modify the css rule directly into css folder ( mod_jaslideshowlite.css ) but this will be overrided by the module updates

2) use a css file that will be not overrided ( custom.css )

If you instead need to modify php code to change some module behaviour then you can use the core joomla override feature

Hope was clear

Hello and thank you for your reply,

You could not be clearer.

Just to know: as I created an override throught template backend administration for JA Slideshow Lite thinking in modifying its CSS can I now delete all the ../templates/ja_university_t3/html/mod_jaslideshowlite directory with all its files without affecting JA Slideshow Lite module our losing any data?

I don’t know what you modified / overrided , anyway removing the override in html folder will means that the standard mod_jaslidesowlite contained into modulesmod_jaslideshowlite will become active

as i can see from the quickstart installation the templatesja_university_t3htmlmod_jaslideshowlite folder contains 2 files

custom.php and default.php that are the specific override for this template, for sure there are no css override in this folder , so you can take your conclusions and decisions now

Hello and thank you for your reply,

In fact I forgot to say that I did not modified anything. I just created the override whithout changing one single line of code. So I think I can delete it, correct?
