## Customization Guide
### Override Customization
Each module can be customized in two ways:
#### 1. CSS Customization
Edit `src/media/css/user.css` to add custom styles:
```css
/* Example: Customize search button color */
.mod-search__button {
background-color: #ff6600;
}
/* Example: Change product grid columns */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.mod-vm-product__grid {
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
}
}
```
#### 2. Template Override Customization
Copy the entire module directory and modify:
```bash
# Keep original override as reference
cp -r src/templates/html/mod_search src/templates/html/mod_search_original
# Modify your version
# Edit src/templates/html/mod_search/default.php
```
### CSS Variables Override
Override CSS variables in your custom color scheme:
```css
/* src/media/css/colors/light/colors_custom.css */
:root {
--mod-search-bg: #f8f9fa;
--mod-search-border: #dee2e6;
--vm-price-color: #28a745;
}
```

## Best Practices
### When Using Overrides
1. **Test Across Devices**: Always test on actual mobile devices
2. **Maintain Accessibility**: Don't remove ARIA labels or keyboard navigation
3. **Keep BEM Naming**: Use established class naming patterns
4. **Security First**: Always escape output and validate input
5. **Document Changes**: Comment your customizations
### When Updating
1. **Backup First**: Always backup your site before updating
2. **Review Changes**: Check CHANGELOG.md for breaking changes
3. **Test Thoroughly**: Test all modules after updates
4. **Custom Overrides**: May need adjustments after template updates
---
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Module Not Displaying Correctly
1. Clear Joomla cache (System → Clear Cache)
2. Check module is published and assigned to correct position
3. Verify template is assigned to menu items
4. Check browser console for JavaScript errors
#### Styles Not Applying
1. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R)
2. Verify `template.css` is loading
3. Check CSS specificity conflicts
4. Review custom CSS in `user.css`
#### Mobile View Issues
1. Test with browser dev tools responsive mode
2. Check viewport meta tag in template
3. Verify breakpoint media queries
4. Test on actual devices when possible
#### Accessibility Issues
1. Run WAVE or axe DevTools accessibility check
2. Test with keyboard navigation only
3. Verify screen reader compatibility
4. Check color contrast ratios
