TableBoss - Joomla Extension for Online Restaurant Reservations

why did TableBoss install under the unix user 'nobbody'? I cant edit the css file, or even delete it. I have only ftp access to server, no shell access. my other files are owned by root, and my FTP'd files are owned by my FTP user..they all are editable...but none of the TableBoss files

When components are installed via Joomla they are typically owned by 'nobody' unless you have the FTP layer enabled in Joomla 1.5. In order to change the ownership, you will need shell access to your server and will need to perform chmod and chown commands.

There is a way to edit the css without directly touching any of the TableBoss core files though:

1. Create a folder in the active template for your site at this level - [JOOMLA_ROOT]/templates/[ACTIVE_TEMPLATE]/com_tableboss/tpl/css

2. Create a file in there named public.css (if you would like to alter the css for the reservation wizard).

3. Add any CSS definitions you would like; they will be added after the core public.css stylesheet.
