Styles for the module

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi!

Where should I place the css files for the module? I guess I should use AssetManager. In this case I need to create the asset folder under the module directory. Or does another alternative exists?

I place my styles in modules/admin/assets folder and in modules/admin/components/Controller.php I wrote:


class Controller extends CController

{


	public $layout='application.modules.admin.views.layouts.admin';

    public $headline;

    public $assets;


	public $menu=array();


	public $breadcrumbs=array();


    public function init()

    {

        $this->assets = Yii::app()->assetManager->publish(Yii::getPathOfAlias('application.modules.admin.assets'), false, -1, true);

    }

	

}

And in layout file modules/admin/views/layouts/admin.php:


....

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">


    <?php Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile($this->assets.'/css/admin.css'); ?>

    <?php Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile($this->assets.'/css/form.css'); ?>

</head>

But variable assets is empty from this place. I can’t understand why.
