CSS changes for the Geometrixx site aren't reflected?

  • January 6, 2016

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get changes to the static.css file in the Geometrixx site to be reflected. I'm experimenting with simple styling changes to the header and footer, but changes are not reflected when I save the static.css file, and refresh the pages using the sidekick refresh tab. This is on a 5.6.1 installation. How do I get CSS changes to be reflected in AEM when styling components??? I've made the changes both under /etc/designs/Geometrixx, and also copied the file to the /apps/Geometrixx/components/clientlibs, and added it to css.txt, but nothing seems to work.

Hi,

I tried this on 6.1 and it seems to be working. Make a change in this (/etc/designs/geometrixx/static.css) file example at line 2 "width: 1000px;" to "width: 100px;" and open the page "http://localhost:9000/content/geometrixx/en/products.html"
Please clear AEM and browser cache.

Thanks

Yes. The regular Geometrixx site. Not Geometrixx-mobile, or Geometrixx-outdoors, just the regular Geometrixx site. As a matter of fact, I always have trouble getting any CSS to work with custom components unless it's inline CSS.

Thanks, but what's the best way to clear the cache? I'm doing this in 5.6.1, not 6.1. I may try it in 6.1 too.

Delete project specific folder under /var/clientlibs/etc/designs. It will remove cached JS/CSS for that project

Any CSS / JS change may need a browser cache clear if its enabled. Clearing the browser cache should work most of the time
