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.

Great UX great performance and definitely a time saver. It only took me 10 minutes of playing around before purchasing a subscription and right now I just want to throw more money at you! I just started a new project and after just 4h I can already tell it probably saved me several days of work. I'm building a wholesale ordering system with sales rep management. I have not looked at the code yet but so far: impressive.
