Own Component Css File
Alena Merklová
Hi. I wan customize portfolio component.
I want to take the original css component and insert it via ftp into my template. I've read a bunch of documentation and discussion forums, but nothing works for me. As, for example, the display of VirtueMart is modified.
My helix tempalate load /components/com_spsimpleportfolio/assets/css/spsimpleportfolio.css
What and how do I have to do so that the template loads my modified from the folder instead of the original css when displaying the portfolio /templates/my_tempalte/css?
I want to make sure that my css will not be changed after updating the component. And I don't want to use the custom.css method.
Thx

Accepted AnswerHi Alena,
And I don't want to use the custom.css method.
In that case, use Custom CSS inside Template Options > Custom Code > Custom CSS
OR
Find and install module HD-Custom CSS (hyde-design.co.uk) then put your custom CSS inside and publish in "debug" position. There are others similar modules or plugins for custom code etc.
In Joomla is not so easy to override component css files like you can do with views. So listen my two advices, trusted solutions. That's all I can help without code customization.

Accepted AnswerI found that it depends on how the component is written. If it's "done right", it's easy. Unfortunately, I can't do it with sp simple portfolio. So how to proceed with this component?
Where and where to add the code to load my css from the template and not from the component. I don't want to use @import because it would just increase the loading time :(
