Now… it’s been a little messy road so far with this template, I enabled Development Mode, but the t3-assets folder creates files over and over.

Is this how it works? Because my CSS changes are not reflected right away unless I delete the files over and over… Is there a Clear T3 Cache option as in 1.7-2.5 templates?

I’m working on a localhost, thanks! :p

In the latest T3 (as opposed to JA-T3V2) it uses the Joomla cache.

If you want to see your changes straight away, then you need to disable the cache in Site-Global Configuration then under the System tab.

You also need to be aware that when you enable development mode you are using the .less files not the css files. Your changes may not even appear – depending on which files you are changing.

You may want to use the custom.css file that works so well with T3 to keep these changes in so they don’t get overwritten if you recompile the .less to css.

Hope this helps.

Thanks… I’m still testing.

An now you can’t disable the CSS optimization and minify? I see the CSS is recompiled… I want to change colors on the template.css and reflect them in the default theme, but sometimes it gets stuck with the old one.

You would be better changing the colours in the .less files. Only have to do it once rather than every entry in template.css.

The minified files are created during the convert less to css process so changing them just in template.css won’t help.

I would also take my suggestion to use the custom.css file. If it’s not in../templates/ja_argo/css directory, just create it. T3 loads this file last so any styling you put in here will override any other styles. This file is not part of any upgrade so you don’t have to worry about it getting overwritten.

Hope this helps.
