Why overwrite EXTRAS.CSS file in Joomla Upgrade ??
August 03, 2012, 06:58:47 am
Just upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.1.5 .. and found out my EXTRAS.CSS file was overwritten during the upgrade.

If you're going to include a way to override the basic CSS of CIVICRM, you need to include a note in the upgrade procedures to backup this file, along with the settings file.

Luckily, I can pull the file out from backups, but ARRGH !!   ???

Just a heads up for the documentation folks ... ;)
