css() attributes

Tallowman

Hi all.

Is it possible to set css link attributes such as 'media' using css() helper?

Thanks

Yes. The third attribute is an associative array that contains additional parameters you can pass to the function including "attrs"

Is there a way of setting css link attributes when using page variables (i.e. in the global variables file)?

My problem: I need to set different print only css files for different pages.

Thanks.

There are a couple ways you can do that. First, it sounds like you'll need a variable that you can use to manipulate the media type for the CSS file you want to include-- let's call it $css_type. To specify that variable, you can use a variables file as shown below (example is using a views/_variables/company.php variables file):

// would apply to all pages within a particular URI segment of "company" $vars['css_type'] = 'print'; // would apply to only the company/about page $pages['company/about'] = array('css_type' => 'print'); More on specifying variables using the "opt-in controller" method can be found here: http://www.getfuelcms.com/user_guide/general/opt-in-controllers

Another method for creating that variable, and one that works well if you are using static view files is to use the fuel_set_var() function at the the top of your view file:

// company/about view file fuel_set_var('css_type', 'print');<code> Then in your header you can add something like this: <code><?=css($css, NULL, array('attrs' => 'media="'.$css_type.'"')?>
You may need to make a check for the existence of the $css_type or you can simply add it as an empty value in your global.php variables file:
$vars['css_type'] = '';
