Is it possible to create a custom.css for a module, load it into that module's css directory and NOT have it removed during a module update?

If so, how do I call the css into a tpl for the module or does JR just automatically load all .css files contained the module's css directory?

Thanks :)

You can add the CSS from a module to one of your skins CSS files and your templates will use that CSS instead of the modules CSS.

Hope this helps!

I was hoping we could use the custom.css methodology since my skin css files are getting pretty crazy. I have customizations spread all over the place and for the sake of organization there is not a real good place to put custom module css.

Have you ever considered using a custom.css file as a standard part of JR? Or have you considered a css override textbox in the core?

You can create a custom.css file for your skin and add it by adding a new line in your skins include.php file... ie.

    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'css', 'YOURSKIN', 'custom.css');

Be sure to change YOURSKIN to your skin directory.

Hope this helps!

How Douglas outlined it is correct, and the proper way to do it in Jamroom.
