Hi all

I am working on my site in development mode (using LESS in the local folder).

I have a template.less file which imports my other template LESS files, for example:
@import 'scd-content-bottom.less';


My issue is that when I update any of the LESS files and upload them to the site the changes don't display. In order to get around this, each time I make a change to one of the LESS files I have to compile them on the site, turn off development mode and then the change shows.

Is there a way to use @import without having to compile the LESS files (stay in development mode) every time I make a change?

Hi David,

For importing feature, please do not implement in the "local" folder. The local folder aims to put overridden styles only, functionality should not be included.

Hi Gardner

Thank you for your reply. If I were to put these files in the template less folder would they be overwritten when updating the template?

Thanks

Hi again,

If you use T3 BS3 Template and customize the template.less file, it would not be overridden, the reason is that we don't often customize the file when upgrading. If a file is in conflict (changed by both user and provider), it'll be overridden when upgrading.

But for safe, please always take a back up before upgrading.

Gardner.
