Where do I put plugin-related javascript & css files?
Development and Programming
I’ve got a plugin that requires the user to include additional css & image files in the template. In EE2, I uploaded the image files to the /public_html/themes/third_party/my_plugin_name/png/ folder, and in my plugin I had some code which looks like this:
$imagePathPNG = URL_THIRD_THEMES.'my_plugin_name/png/';As part of the upgrade instructions to EE3, I moved the /public_html/themes/third_party/my_plugin_name/png/ folder to /public_html/themes/user/addons/my_plugin_name/png/. But now the URL_THIRD_THEMES constant (and similarly PATH_THIRD_THEMES) doesn’t point to the same place as it did in EE2. I changed my code to this:
$imagePathPNG = URL_THIRD_THEMES.'addons/my_plugin_name/png/';Is this correct way to do this now? Or should I have put all of my files in /public_html/themes/user/my_plugin_name/png/ instead? I’m asking because I installed another third-party add-on, the Tag module, and the supporting files are at /public_html/themes/user/tag/ rather than /public_html/themes/user/addons/tag/. Thanks!
Yes that’s right, there is no addons subfolder needed in the themes/user/ directory, the intention is to just put your addon themes in the user directory. We didn’t really see a need to divide things up in there. Hope this answers your question.
