BUG: Joomla 2.5.x /4.3.x/4.4.x civicrm.css stylesheet link missing.
October 22, 2013, 02:36:52 pm
I have upgrade from 4.2.9 to 4.3.7.
Before I did this I update Joomla from 2.5.11 to 2.5.14

The issue I have is that there is no link to the civicrm.css style sheet.

To get it to load I edited /administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Utils/System/Joomla.php

Code: [Select]
  public function addStyleUrl($url, $region) {
    if ($region == 'html-header') {
      $document = JFactory::getDocument();
      $document->addStyleSheet($url);
      $document->addStyleSheet("/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/css/civicrm.css");
      return TRUE;
    }
    return FALSE;
  }
Has anyone else experienced this?
Has anyone got the same setup working as mine?

I have made sure all the caches and templates_c is cleared.
I cleared my browser cache.
I ran session reset.

I've never had stylsheet issues after an upgrade before that a cache/templates_c clear hasn't fixed.

I still have this issue after restoring civicrm back to 4.2.9 and then upgrading to 4.4.0

Can anyone please confirm they have Joomla 2.5.14 loading the civicrm.css stylesheet?

Okay I've found the bug.

If the 'Custom CiviCRM CSS URL' field is populated it breaks the css loading.

PLEASE SEE SCREENSHOT OF THE http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/administrator/ WHERE I CONFIRMED THIS ISSUE

The assumption is the custom css file will provide a similar level of functionality as civicrm.css, i.e. the custom css file is used instead of civicrm.css

on the joomla demo, u've set it to point to a non-existent css and hence the issue

is this correct?

Ever since I've used CiviCRM I have had an override stylesheet which only contained the override styles not a copy of the whole civicrm.css. This method allows the civicrm.css to still be upgraded.

Having a link in 'Custom CiviCRM CSS URL' field whether valid or not now prevents the civicrm.css and extra.css loading.
I can't believe this was intended so I assumed it was a bug.

I can't see why 4.3 and above have now prevented the 'Custom CiviCRM CSS URL' from working this way, provided the custom stylesheet is loaded after the civicrm.css it would make no difference whether one, none or all the styles are overridden and it would still allow new styles or fixes to the civicrm.css primary.

I'm sure I'm not going to be the only css developer caught out by this change.

It seems the problem was that drupal and joomla were behaving differently prior to 4.3. In drupal, civicrm.css would not load if a custom url was specified, and in joomla it would :P
In 4.3 we consolidated the code into one place, so now at least it's consistent.
I think the solution to this mess is to add a checkbox that lets you enable/disable core civicrm.css - to give you independent control over whether that file is loaded, decoupled from anything else.
I'll work on that for 4.4.1 or 4.4.2
