I am having a lot of problem creating a css folder for my custom css changes.
I made a mistake by not doing this from the beginning, and now I am trying to move the changes to a folder of it own, not to be overwritten when I update the site.
But the entire website crashes when I try to make the site use the new folder custom css folder.

Is there a place where I can read more about how to make this work ?

Thank you.
Charlotte

Hi you can add custom.css file in css folder of your site .
Path will be like this template/your JA template/css/custom.css .

JA Mendozite is based on old JAT3 v2 framework which doesn’t load ‘custom.css file automatically like new T3 framework.

You will need to load this css file via file: templates/ja_mendozite/etc/layouts/default.xml

Find and change

<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>

To

<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
<file>css/custom.css</file>
</stylesheets>

With path templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css file

Once done, remember to clear cache from admin area

Hi Ninja,

I did what you wrote. I wrote into the default.mxl:
<stylesheets>
<file>templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css</file>
</stylesheets>
and I created a custom.css in the css folde of mendozite template, I also cleared cach but succuss.

Hi Ninja,

sorry, now it worked: I had to change the path in the default.xml > css/custom.ss instead of templates/ja_mendozite/css/custom.css
