I am using syndicate template and I noticed there are so many css-xxxxxxxxxxxx.php files in the css folder. There are also same type of files in components/com_gantry/css folder. I come to know that these are cache files. How we can avoid these files and what is the way to identify the original file where we need to make changes.
I have a pretty similar question:
I'm using the QUANTIVE template and everything just works fine, except the CSS. Everytime I change the background-color for STYLE 1 in light-body.css and the corresponding "css-206...php" the changes will only be valid for one day. The next day, the color is set back to its original value in both files!!!? ("light-body.css" and the "css-206...php" file)
Within this "css-206...php" file, there is some "updating" php-code, that regenerates its content from the original CSS-files. I got that so far, but what am I missing? Any suggestions?
PS: As a last-ditch attempt I started a search for the background color of STYLE 1 within the template's CSS folder. And as a result I found the color in another css-php file, is that a possible solution to
my problem?
OK i figured it out myself. My light-body.css was unwritable and FileZilla didn't tell me that this file wasn't overwritten. Sorry for the confusion...my bad...
css-xxxxxxxxxxxx.php files are the result of a css compression process.
Could be GantryGZipper in the templare settings or the RokGzipper plugin.
Enable compression only when your site is finished.
Never change these files manually ...
If you use the RoGZipper plugin doont use GantryGZipper ...
