    • What Arifin wrote is 100% the same in Joomla 1.6.
      You can use his mycustomstyle.zip ...

    • Hi Henning,

      I just can't get that method to work. And looking at a couple of posts above and another thread elsewhere on the forum it seems like I am not alone.

      I downloaded the zip file from Arifin.

      I have placed the file 'mycustomstyle.php' into <my joomla root>/templates/rt_tachyon_j16/features/
      I have placed the file 'mycustomstyle.css' into <my joomla root>templates/rt_tachyon_j16/css/ with my styling but it is not loading the css.

      I have cleared the browser cache. Turned off all gzips, gantry zip, cache, system cache and cleared the Joomla cache for good measure.

      Just for my understanding - does Gantry just action all php files in the 'features' folder without me having to specify or tell it that I have added a file?

      Thanks

    • Hi,

      I can't change permissions on my localhost as I'm running Xampp on a Windows box. My understanding is that all files are already set to an equivalent of 777? I can ftp to my localhost but get the 504 error when trying to change permissions.

      The only thing I can think is to upload to a live server and see if that works.

      I'll let you know.

      Thanks

    • Hi,

      In case anyone else has this issue and for future referenece - this seems to work when uploaded to my shared hosting linux box. It will not work on my localhost xampp box. Whether this is a Windows issue or something else I do not know.

      But I placed the same files in the same locations and it is now working.

      Thanks for the help.

    • Definitely a Windows issue. Henning's screen looks like he's on a Mac and I've been able to recreate this problem on two separate Windows machines on LocalHost.

    • Hi,

      I just needed some help with the correct way to use the custom style sheet. I added the php and css file to the folders you specified. I turned off Zipper and Cache.

      I am trying to add a color (eventually a css gradient) to the nav bar so I used this code in the custom style sheet to test it. I just wanted to change it to black real quick to see if it would work.

      #rt-menu .rt-container{
      background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000;
      }

      174.120.61.9/~overhead/

      But nothing happens...Not sure what I am missing.

      Thanks for your help!

    • just change your line to

      div#rt-menu .rt-container{
      background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000;
      }

      everything else is ok. You just need to add more css specificity ...
