  • SOLVED Less Compiling - Stops all of a sudden

    Posted 11 years 4 months ago
    • Hi all

      I am new to Rockettheme, and liking it...

      Previously I had been using Codekit so am familiar to using LESS and having it compiled.

      I am finding that the LESS files all of a sudden at some point stop compiling.

      I use a new iMac, Paradigm template and Chrome browser (latest version).

      I clear the caches in template, and browser, restart the computer...

      My only solution is to delete all the code from my template-custom.less file and add a bit in, save, refresh until it works then add more code..

      I am pretty sure I must be doing something wrong so hoping to receive some suggestions.

      LESS compiler in advanced tab of template has css compression 'ON'

      I don't know what to do as it is really slowing me down...

      Thanks

      Jon

    • whenever you make your changes just remember to clear server cache - in J2.5 this is

      site > maintenance > clear cache - tick all - DELETE

      in J3.x it's

      system > clear cache > tick all - DELETE.

      You may also need to clear cache in your browser too.

    • Thanks for that.

      I had been clearing the cache in the template and the browser, but not in Joomla as you recommended.

      Thanks for the really quick reply, especially at this time of year.

      Most excellent.

      Just to confirm the process, and demonstrate what it is for me:

      - Make amendment to template-custom.less
      - 'system' : clear cache
      - Refresh Browser - result is white screen
      - refresh browser again, result is site reflecting the alterations made.

      Thanks, this reply is not so urgent

      Regards

    • White screen is normally a server5000 error (look in browser console) and then in apache error log for more details. Most likely is your php memory_limit is too low (make at least 128M).

    • Thanks
      ...and sorry:
      I shouldn't have put it in my previous post since it actually only happens when I don't clear the 'system' cache.

      Cool

      Thanks for your assistance
