Hi,
I have one of my websites hosted with Heartinternet and their file manager does not recognise .scss file types. It won't allow editing (box greyed out).
Does this mean I cannot add custom styling to my gantry5 template? Is there a work around for this?
Kind regards

Actually I don't believe they are to blame as it's Joomla that hasn't caught up with the latest file extensions, .scss - .yaml - .twig, being used in current web designs. Lets hope the next version might implement these new file types.
For now you have to use a FTP client or your Cpanel file manager to create the custom.scss file. Once created Joomla will see it and you can edit it in the Template Manager Edit screen.

Hi Dan,
thanks for responding and explaining. I didn't realise I could edit the template files in that way via template manager - cool
I have added some custom styling to this but it isn't changing in the template. I have added this:
div#fd.eb.mod-easyblogsearch .mod-btn {
margin-top: 10px !important;
}
This normally works on my other Joomla site, but not this one.
I have place the scss file in a new folder under custom called scss - that is correct isn't it?
What might be preventing this from working?
Kind regards
Mel

Your CSS code is correct but where I should be able to see your custom file
http://wxxxxxxxxxxs.com/templates/rt_salient/custom/scss/custom.scss
I get this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /templates/rt_salient/custom/scss/custom.scss on this server.
Check your file and folder permissions.

Hi David,
my apologies, I should have posted back.
Basically on the shared hosting, to be able to add custom css to the .scss file, we first have to rename it to a .txt file, then make the changes, then renamve it back.
My shared hosting doesn't yet support .scss file extensions.
In answer to your question, yes, my issue is now resolved.
Mel
