compiling LESS files to CSS. 

Additional information on how to work with phpFox and LESS can be found here.

Disable CSS Caching

When you are working with your theme it might be easier to make sure the browser does not cache your CSS changes. To get this working, navigate to the folder PF.Base/file/settings/. In that folder, if you don't have this file create a new file called debug.sett.php. Paste the following 

Code Block
<?php
 
define('PHPFOX_NO_TEMPLATE_CACHE', true);
define('PHPFOX_NO_CSS_CACHE', true);

 

These 2 PHP constants will tell phpFox not keep your CSS files fresh and to skip the template caching.
