Hi All,

I have scoured the Forum but could not find a "for dummies" answer. I have a brilliant CSS style that I would like to apply to a Front End Layout.

1. Where should I create/edit the CSS file?

2. Are there any special considerations I should be aware of?

I wish to use www.emblematiq.com/lab/niceforms/demo/niceforms.html (NiceForms v2) as an example (if that helps?).

Thanks for listening and hope that someone can shed some light on my "For Dummies" question of the day.

Regards,

Edward.

Look in the

components/your_component/CSS folder

Here you should find a your_component.CSS file.

This is where any styles that you applied to the front end of your component from within the builder will be. You can also put any new styles that you would like to apply in here and then edit your views to use these styles. So, you would just take the styles from that Niceforms.CSS, copy them into that your_compenent.CSS file and then you can use these.

I think this is the best place to put them

You can strip almost everything from the default your_component.css and toolbar.css except 2 or 3 positioning css, so that a global Joomla template can easily be applied.

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
