$DSP->extra_css Equivalent in EE2.0?
Development and Programming
Hey all,
Trying to figure out the best way to over-ride styles in the “View” files for EE2.0 Module development.
In 1.6.x I would have used $DSP->extra_css, but I’m not sure what the best way to accomplish something similar in 2.0 is. Hoping someone has run into this previously!
Cheers, will gladly buy someone with an answer a beer at EECI in SF if you are going!

Here is one way:
$this->EE->cp->add_to_head('<link rel="stylesheet" href="URL_TO_CSS" type="text/css" media="print, projection, screen" />');Or
$this->EE->cp->add_to_head('<style type="text/css"> SOME CSS </style>');Absolutely perfect. Thank you so much. Do you happen to know if that CP class is documented anywhere?
Lemme know if you are heading out to EECI, so I can honor that beer.

I think the other thing I am going to run into here is this:
If I want to bundle the CSS file inside the module, so something like:
/system/expressionengine/third_party/module-name/module.cssWhat is the best way to set the path to this file? Initially, I would have thought to just pass it relatively from the index.php page of the Control Panel, so something like:
href="expressionengine/third_party/module-name/module.css"But, if the user installs EE above the web root, this will fail. Any thoughts? Maybe there is some kind of “path to cp” function in that CP class.

Well i don’t like putting any JS/CSS in the system folder, but you can use the themes folder for things like that.
