change background color of the header was created by jantienm
Hello,
I am using Version 2.50+ Build 160620
I am trying to do, I think, something very simple, but somhow I cannot do it.
I want to change the background color of the default template (blue: #2c3e50). I made a copy of the default template.
- First of all, I cannot load the css file in the template editor, I'm not sure why? I am admin so should have all permissions.[/li]
- Second I tried changing the "template.css" and the "flat_and_modern.css" files by downloading/uploading it manually with FTP from/to the folder: upload/templates/my-new-template/css. But I somehow cannot find the code that is used for the background color of the header!
Can someone help me out, thanks a lot!

Add something like this to the end of template.css:
Code:
.navbar-default { background-color: #FF00FF; }

Delete everything in /tmp/assets/, clear your cache and retest.

Hi Tony,
I just deleted everything just like you said, but still no effect I'm afraid.
I do see a lot of files called: template_temp_160712095331.html directly in the tmp file with dates of today and yesterday. Is it save to delete those files as well? And will it work maybe?

Yes, it is safe to remove those files.
In application/config/config.php, set debug to 1 - this will cause the template files to be loaded directly from the template directory instead of from tmp/assets.

Hmm...the files are being loaded directly from the template directory but I don't see that snippet at the end of template.css -
www.cvkt.nl/limesurvey/upload/templates/...016/css/template.css

Hmm this is really weird. I looked into the template.css on my server and indeed, the code was not added! So I deleted it and uploaded the correct one. But still, when I open it with the URL you just send me, the code is still not there! So I deleted everything again from the tmp/assets folder and cleared my cache again and it's still not there!!!
So then I uploaded the file "template-test.css" to the folder limesurvey/upload/templates/CVKT-2016/css and then tried the URL www.cvkt.nl/limesurvey/upload/templates/...ss/template-test.css and I get a 404 page, file not found.
What is happening here? You have an idea? I could call my hosting company?

It may be a permissions thing -
