overriding "media/mod_languages/css/template.css"

Post by act1ve » Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:50 am

Hello,

I apply some stylings to native joomla language switcher module.
Can you please tell, how to avoid editing the core file and override the media/mod_languages/css/template.css

I tried creating folder "mytemplate/html/media/mod_languages/css" and put new css file there, but it didn't work.

Thank you

Normally you just have to add the classses in your template css file and change at will.

Joomla 3.x: You can override the template.css within your template too:
/templates/<my_template>/css/mod_languages/template.css

Quick note here: If you have a CSS style that you are having problems with overwriting, then just add !important at its end, and it will supersede all the identical CSS styles applied for the same class. Example:

Code: Select all

#mydiv {height: 100% !important;}
Also note that you must clear your browser cache in order to see your CSS changes.
