Best way of customizing gavick templates

Hi!

What is the best way to customize a gavick template.

At the moment i am doing it like this:

- Override one style css file with my own colors
- Override style images to fit my colours
- Override other css files to fit my needs
- Override other images to fit my needs

But what will happen if an update is released? Can i still use it without overriding my changes?

So, what is the best way to customize a templates.

Maybe it is a good idea to insert a custom.css file to put all changes in this file. But what about the images?

the best way is to make your own style file . eg. my_style.css and then change everything there... there is several posts on the forum to make your own style. this way when you update, you won't overwrite your own settings.

Ok.

I will make my own my_style.css file and my own images/my_style folder.

But in which file do i have to add the option to select my_style from the joomla backend template configuration?

the template.xml

search the forum, there is many threads about it

Hi

My way to prepare myself for the updates is to add the line:

Code: Select all

<link href="<?php echo $this->templateurl(); ?>/css/customization.css" rel="stylesheet"/>


to the templates/[name]/layouts/blocks/head.php and make all css in this file. It's being load as last so it's really easy to overwrite everything.
