Hi:
I'm don't want any of the Contao css files in the assets folder. So I switched some off. But there's one, that even after purging the system in maintenance, keeps showing up. It's has this number: 421f99103526. How do I get rid of this? Also, another one showing up in the inspector as user agent stylesheet that I need to delete.
Thanks!
Link to site? Also why do you want to delete those?
Contao generates CSS files automatically under /assets/css . These CSS files are the combined stylesheets which you defined in your page layout (all internal + all external stylesheets combined into one file). You should not delete those manually and those files will be regenerated after a system maintenance, when you open the front end.
It's that I prefer my own styles from scratch, so I know how it's all working, without surprises that override them.
Also, because Google Webmaster tools is suggesting I do this - sorry I can't find the exact suggestion, but basically reduce the CSS file to one.
I've already mentioned in another post that for example, the code for Font Awesome is non CSS compliant with lots of errors, according to the CSS validator.
Here's the website: assembly21.com. If you inspect the logo or the nav (.rwd-nav) you see extra stylesheets.
Fine I can override defaults, but prefer to write it straight from the beginning with everything in one stylesheet.
Thanks!
You don't need to delete anything to achieve that. If you don't want to use any stylesheets from the Contao framework, simply do not select them in your page layout.Quote:

I've found the Google recommendations regarding the extra stylesheet. The Contao ones are all unticked now from whitin the CMS. But I still get a reference there to a Contao CSS file.
Also there's something about JS and not adding it in the head tag. But where do I add it with Contao?
Still need to move my CSS file to the folder you suggest. You say "I shouldn't do it in the way I did" in your last paragraph, but why?
Thanks!
You are going at it the wrong way. Even if you untick any stylesheet from the Contao framework, Contao's stylesheet system might still automatically integrate and combine other stylesheets, from extensions for example. That's why you shouldn't add your own stylesheet via Addtional <head> tags. Simply integrate your own stylesheet under Style sheets - External style sheets as already said. This way Contao will automatically combine your stylesheet with any other stylesheet that is loaded via Contao.Quote:
