    • Why is this file being rewritten all the time?
      css-cb23d447b66359d91b66e4dead744074.php

      I made some modifications to it but every so often the file reverts back? Very frustrating any help would be appreciated ASAP,

    • A file name such as 'css-cb23d447b66359d91b66e4dead744074.php' shows you have compression turned on.

      Compression is the last step in developing your site, and any changes you make to other files will not be included unless you turn off compression, make the changes, then turn it on again.

      I.e., compression compresses all the files into just one file and subsequently ignores all the other files when your site loads.

    • Now nothing is working? I can not get the file to update now and the site is broken? What is going on? I turned all caching off?

    • hi there,

      what do you mean your site is broken? it loads fine for me here.
      you still have some caching and/or compression turned on on your site, i still see those php files with long random numbers in your source code.

    • 1. DO NOT change files like this
      css-cb23d447b66359d91b66e4dead744074.php
      cause this file is a result of the css-code-compression of the css files that are used by joomla as decribed above

      2. DO NOT change the gantry.css (cause it will be overwritten with the next update)

      2.1 2. DO NOT change the staic.css (cause it will be overwritten when you change the template-settings)

      3. If you want to change or add a css-rule:

      3.1 disable css compression.
      as long as you see files like this
      css-cb23d447b66359d91b66e4dead744074.php
      the compression is active

      3.2 change only the files within the css folder of the template like template.css etc.

      3.3 if you want to change a rule in the gantry.css use css-specificity
      www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/27/css-...ngs-you-should-know/
      like this
      add a rule for div.rt-block in the template.css if you want to override the .rt-block class

      3.4 after you changed what you wanted to change

      3.4.1 clear joomla-cache

      3.4.3 clear the browser-cache

      3.4.4 If you finished really everything what you ever wanted to change and your site is finished:
      enable the code-compression again
