I followed instructions for my_changes here but they don't work. I want to create custom styles but my styles never show up in the complied css file
[url=“http://docs.cs-cart.com/my-changes”]http://docs.cs-cart.com/my-changes[/url]
Are these instructions correct?
In instructions it says to create the styles.css in design/frontend/skins/basic/templates/addons/my_changes/ but that doesn't make sense since there is no directory called that. I assume they mean design/themes/basic/templates/addons/my_changes
I have template set to automatically compile.
Also, I have only one store. Does the default template automatically get selected if only one store?
Thanks
I also have this problem. My Changes addon is ‘active’. But doesnt show up under skins/basic/templates/addons/

You have to create my_changes folders. they don't provide the skeleton. So if you have both frontend and backend items as well as front/backend images and css, you get to populate files in 10 separate disjoint directories.
Hi,
Create this maps and files:
\css\addons\my_changes\styles.css
\templates\addons\my_changes\hooks\index\styles.post.tpl
And put this in styles.post.tpl
{style src=“addons/my_changes/styles.css”}
Hi
I also have a question here.
I sometimes used this method to create a design that is not so crazy, as an Addon.
Basically I used the mychanges method but as an Addon with its own folder in skins/customer/addons and an XML file for install in addons folder .
All this back in 30x. Now in v401, I tried to do the same by building the new folder structure for a custom Addon and styles.less for overriding styles but no luck. I see absolutely nothing.
Any suggestions?
Fotis.
Fotis,
Make sure you are using the proper paths for frontend/backend design//css, etc… Addon files are now scattered all over the place.
The file/folder structure was significantly changed in v4.
Here is a direct link to the documentation.
