I must come back to this issue that I reported some days ago and that I erroneously marked as resolved.

My custom.css is placed here: media/templates/site/j51_skylar/css/custom.css
Load custom.css is YES

Whatever I write in this custom.css file, it has no effect at all.
When I write it directly to the «Custom CSS» field, it works.

Thank you and kind regards
Chris

Hi Chris

May I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will examine this issue further. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

Sorry, I need to withdraw my request. My provider has «Edge Caching» (that's kind of a server cache or proxy server) active. This prevented my uploaded custom.css from working immediately. This cache expires after 1 hour. So I had to «Purge Cache» in order to make changes visible.

Sorry for bothering your.

Kind regards

Hello Ciaran,

today I downloaded the described Skylar version 1.1.7 from 22.October.

After installation I see version 1.1.6. This might be forgotten but isn't my problem yet ;)

I also have the problem that the custom.css in media/templates/site/j51_skylar/css is not used.
Even in source code you do not find a reference to a custom.css.
I set custom.css = YES in the template options.
I testet it on two different webservers (on the customers server and on mine). Now I am working in my developement server that is optimized for working with Joomla..
Maybe you have the time to have a look on it?
I would really appreciate this.
Thanks in advance Ciaran :)
Regards
Oliver

Hi Oliver

If you add the custom.css to the template css folder (../templates//j51_skylar/css/), does your custom css get loaded?

Hi Ciaran,
yes, this path works, but I thought this is not the right place for the J4 templates, right?
In all the other J4 templates I've used from J51, it's the media/... folder. with the custom.css.
So in the interest of continuity, it would be great if all J4 templates used the same custom.css path. Or am I wrong about that? :)
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
I really appreciate it.

Hi Oliver

I believe the issue we had initially was that when updating from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4, if a custom.css existed it would have to be move manually to the media folder which we wished to avoid. I think the best approach here might be that the template checks the media folder first for the custom.css file and if it does nto exist it will then check the template folder. Would you find this suitable?

Hello Ciaran,
sorry for my late reply.

Its not at me to find something to be suitable ;)

I think, according to J4 and the Child Template possibility it might be logical that the custom.css is in the media folder.
It could be helpful if the path is correct in the J4 templates in the custom css option tab. Means not templates/j51_xxx/css but the media/templates/site/j51_xxx/css and maybe a short note like: "Pls shift your custom.css file to the folder ... after a migration" or something like that.

IMHO it's not a big deal to shift the css file after the migration to the correct folder. And one can find the correct folder if its pointed out in the custom css option tab.

But on the other hand, I am not a "normal" user. We are a web agency, thats our daily work (and mostly woth your templates) ;) and currently we do a lot of migrations.....

Kind regards
Oliver
