What is the purpose of reinstalling all the default images (everyone probably changes them to their own) during upgrades?

I reckon it would be possible to upgrade files, and maybe even add new images, without overwriting community images your customers have designed to fit their community.

Is there a way to upgrade only certain files, and not the whole thing?

Also, it is really annoying with the css files on one line. What is the purpose of this? I really cannot imagine anyone works with css on one line, and it feels like it is done this way only to complicate things for the customer. Yes, I know about override files and folders, but it's still a major job reading and understanding the original document.

Hi, Trude.

To what images are you referring to?
Images like "guest-bg.jpg"?

The best solution is to override them via css e.g

#community-wrap .cGuest .hero-area {
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    background: url("../images/guest-bg.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 / cover rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    border-radius: 6px 6px 0 0;
    color: #FEFEFE;
    text-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
}

Thanks to that your images will be not overwritten.

Also please read this docs: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Customizing_Template

The purpose is to minify the file to load it faster.
This file should not be edited - use template override instead.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
