How do I edit css in dolphin 7.2?

Hi there,

Can anyone help me find where I can edit the css? It seems to be missing under the template settings.

Thanks!

You'll need to edit the CSS files directly under /templates. Turn off CSS/JavaScript cache and compression, then use your browser's developer tools to find the file to edit. Then make the changes in the file.

If the file is from a default template, make a custom template first and then apply the changes there. Otherwise, those changes could be lost when Dolphin is next upgraded.

Just to clarify, there is no built in css file editor in Dolphin.  There are several good options, one of them......

Notepad ++ is an excellent code editor, and it has a built in FTP client that you can use to connect to your server to download/edit/upload the css files.... or any other file for that matter.

Take note...Notepad++ is for Windows...just saying. :-/

Thanks!

I just started with setting up Dolphin so my next question is: how do I make a custom template?

Copy /tmpl_uni, /tmpl_alt, or /tmpl_evo and rename the directory to something unique, then edit the template's /scripts/BxTemplName.php and change some of the details. The preview image is used in the admin panel, and is located under the template's /images directory.

Thank you Nathan,

do I need an ftp client to do this? Or can it be done from within Dolpin?

Yes, you'll need to use a FTP client. Dolphin doesn't have a built-in file manager.

 It also reduces carbon emissions, if you want to go into detail.

I'm a Linux guy. My machine runs clean lol

@ Nathan: Thanks!

@ houstonlively: Running OSX here and no idea about its carbon emissions.

I alway thougth it was more hardware related.
