gintonix Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Since im using the BETA, im not seeing all templates / css files in theme editor (for example) Has something changed or is my theme not compatible ? Im Using Dynamic Theme 1.1.9 sobrenome and SeNioR- 2
Marc Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 In the top right you should see an "Advanced theme editing" button. This will bring up all templates if needed sobrenome and SeNioR- 2
JohnDar Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Same problem here, following upgrade to 4.7.0. With "Advanced theme editing" enabled, I can only see core-front-custom-custom.css. None of the other css files are showing. I have also run the support tool and cleared the cache and the issue remains I made a note of css files I need to revert, after updating but now I'm hamstrung and can't do the reverts. sobrenome 1
Management Matt Posted July 6, 2022 Management Posted July 6, 2022 As of 4.7.0, only true custom CSS files will show to discourage editing framework CSS. Have you edited framework CSS files in the past? SeNioR- and sobrenome 2
JohnDar Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Not recently, but I have now no way of comparing the two versions to see what's going on and no way of reverting if something is amiss. That's a bit of a setback and more of a 'downdate' than an update. I have always used the access to the standard CSS files to determine what code to modify (along with the syntax etc), before adding it to my custom CSS. I can't do that now, which is going to make any future additions to the custom CSS far more difficult for me to accomplish. Matt, NZyan, SeNioR- and 2 others 3 2

I can add this to our development documentation. 5 hours ago, JohnDar said: Not recently, but I have now no way of comparing the two versions to see what's going on and no way of reverting if something is amiss.

Management Matt Posted July 7, 2022 Management Posted July 7, 2022 I've released a patch so that custom CSS in other areas, and also CSS that has been edited is now visible when editing a theme. sobrenome, Marc and SeNioR- 3
JohnDar Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Thank you. Going forward, maybe the best solution would be to have all CSS showing but read-only, with the ability to revert if differences are found? sobrenome, TSP and SeNioR- 2 1
JohnDar Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 I have applied the patch and can now see the (allegedly) customised CSS. However, there is still no way to compare it with the standard version to see what might have changed. There is also no way to revert it. I could go in and hack about in Designer mode, but if everyone is faced with doing that, this change might be counter productive in terms of support volumes? I think my suggestion in the reply above might be the best solution for both yourselves and customers? sobrenome and NZyan 2

Click the cog icon in the top right of the template/CSS editor and then click 'compare with default'. You should see a diff showing the changes between the default version and your customised version. You should also have a revert button in the top right if it's a modified core CSS file. Note: neither of these will be available if it's a custom CSS file you have created.
JohnDar Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 That's great, thanks. Is there a full record of the default CSSs available somewhere for reference purposes? Matt 1

JohnDar Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I have just applied the latest update. It flagged two CSS files that were incompatible. Both were reverted before updating. However, once the update was applied, photo attachment thumbnails were missing. This indicated that there were other CSS files which needed attention and a check with the default theme confirmed this,(I couldn't see anything amiss in the templates). However, there was no way of determining where the issues might be. The only CSS file available for me to edit was custom.css. No others were showing up as modified. I had absolutely no way of checking for other modified CSS, with a view to reverting them. My only way out of this was to copy the default theme and then laboriously go through every tab, modifying the colours to match my customised theme. I then had to edit the resources and add in all my custom mods. I then had to add in the custom CSS from the broken theme. This worked and I'm back up and running, but it's two hours of my life that I won't get back. Previously this type of fix would have taken me about two minutes. Needless to say, I'm deeply unhappy with the removal of the edit feature and concerned about how some edits don't seem to have been picked up, leaving me with no way out other than a ground-up rebuild.

JohnDar Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Looking closer, it may have been the quicksearch template at fault, but this wasn't flagged up as requiring attention. 😞 SeNioR- and sobrenome 2

Marc Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 You would need to use designer mode in order to do that, if you want to see it directly sobrenome 1
