Hello

I have a problem with my web site I have no clue how to solve it.

During development "Enable Development Mode was = YES"

I was finished styling and customization, most of my code was edited in t3-assets/dev/templates.t3_blank.less.modules.less.css I added a new css styles modified old ones. After that, I disabled Development mode, Compiled LESS to CSS and upon web site refresh everything is gone!! When I turn ON Development mode, everything works fine.

I'm really not familiar with this compiling procedure, and I don't have any clue how to solve my problem. PLS help

Thank you Dani and Super User

I solved my problem copying files content from cached folder t3-assets to original less files and compiling LESS to CSS after that.

content of

CSS version: /public_html/t3-assets/dev/templates.t3_blank.less.modules.less.css

to

LESS version: /public_html/templates/t3_blank/less/modules.less

Maybe that is not correct way but it helped me. Thank you again, I'm starting to realize relationship between LESS and CSS in T3 Framework.

Edit any of the .less files in your templates/t3_blank/less folder and in the subfolder themes/yourtheme.
Make the css and t3-assets 777 if you get any compile errors to ensure it can write to the folders and overwrite any files.

Thank You for your reply! :(

What is equivalent of modules.less in css format and where it is located?

Can I just copy - paste templates.t3_blank.less.modules.less.css content in appropriate css file and then disable Development mode?

Hi Max,

You should never edit file in t3-assets folder.
Those files are caching files, and it will be overwritten when you modify any source file.

You should find the correct source file to edit.
For example t3-assets/dev/templates.t3_blank.less.modules.less.css => should be mapped to /templates/t3_blank/less/module.less file.
You should write your css in LESS format.

After finish changing LESS files, you can Recompile LESS to CSS and switch off Development mode.

Regards
