Force refresh of css files

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

QUESTION:
Hi!

When I make changes in the css files of my theme (e.g. in navigation.css) and then deploy the theme, the changes are not shown in my browser until I choose to refresh the browser. If I don't refresh the browser, cached copies of the old css files are used.

Is there any way to force the removal of cached css files whenever a change has been made in them?


ANSWERS:


Open portal-ext.properties
tomcat/webapps/root/web-inf/classes/


Add this in your portal-ext.properties file :

theme.css.fast.load=false
theme.images.fast.load=false

javascript.fast.load=true
javascript.log.enabled=true

layout.template.cache.enabled=false

browser.launcher.url=

combo.check.timestamp=true

freemarker.engine.cache.storage=soft:1
freemarker.engine.modification.check.interval=0

openoffice.cache.enabled=false

velocity.engine.resource.manager.cache.enabled=false

com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.cache.CacheFilter=false

com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.themepreview.ThemePreviewFilter=true



or simply add this line :

include-and-override=portal-developer.properties





Alhamdulillah.
