Hi,

I was wondering how to style the Mail successfully sent notice. It seems the iframe that contains this message only loads bootstrap.min.css and not the css of my template.

Mail sent notice

Best regards, Jeff

This is component.php in your template. Add there load of your CSS.

Yep, always thought this is specific to WARP ;)

But this seems to be impossible in Joomla core in general. Bummer, it is a "feature-bug".
component.php, error.php, offline.php have their original in templates/system/...
If there is a file in YOUR-template, it is already some sort of override. :(

You can either modify that file (not save on template updates).
Or try to override the actual call. I mean, the link where it is used in Cobalt.
You could make a copy and rename it to mycomponent.php, change link accordingly...

Thanks pepperstreet. Do you know which Cobalt file I have to alter?

Hello Jeff, I think the email field's output template is reponsible for the URL with component.php

/YourJoomla/components/com_cobalt/fields/email/tmpl/output/default.php

If you choose to alter the component.php ... what about giving it special file-permissions? If there is no write access, it might be save on template updates.

Unfortunately I see no reference to component.php here.

Yes, good advice. I have added a new reference to component.css in templates/MY-TEMPLATE/component.php which seems to work. I've also created a zip file of the altered component.php so I can extract it after any accidental update.

"Use the search, Luke! ...err... Jeff!" ;)

It should be found in line #37

$url_form = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_cobalt&view=elements&layout=field&id=' . $this->id . '&section_id=' . $section->id . '&func=_getForm&record=' . $record->id . '&tmpl=component&Itemid=' . $this->request->getInt('Itemid').'&width=640', FALSE);

Quick test with WARP7 Master. Loading MyComponent.php and theme.css from template folder.
