KO3: How to deal with stylesheets and scriptfiles
- by Svish
I'm using Kohana 3 and it's template controller. My main site template controller currently looks something like this:
<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');
abstract class Controller_SiteTemplate extends Controller_Template
{
public function before()
{
parent::before();
// Initialize default template variables
$this->template->styles = Kohana::config('site.styles');
$this->template->scripts = Kohana::config('site.scripts');
$this->template->title = '';
$this->template->content = '';
}
}
And then in my template view I do:
<?php # Styles
foreach($styles as $file => $media)
echo HTML::style($file, array('media' => $media)).PHP_EOL ?>
<?php # Scripts
foreach($scripts as $file)
echo HTML::script($file).PHP_EOL ?>
This works alright. The problem is that it requires the style- and script files to be added in the controller, which shouldn't really have to care about those. It also makes it a hassle if the views are done by someone else than me since they would have to fool around with the controller just to add a new stylesheet or a new script file. How can this be done in a better way?
Just to clearify, what I am wondering is how to deal with page specific stylesheets and scripts. The default and site-wide ones I have no problem with fetching from a config file or just put directly in the template view. My issue is how to add custom ones for specific pages in a good way.
