Is it possible for a single page on a Joomla website to include it's own custom .js and .css files?
I basically would like to add two custom javascript and css files for a particular page. I don't want these files included into any other Joomla pages.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
Try using a custom code extension such as JUMI. It is designed exactly for this purpose.
From the description: With Jumi you can include php, html, javascript scripts into the modules position, articles, category or section descriptions, or into your own custom made component pages.
The solution from Soygul wont result in proper HTML since these statements / includes belong to the HTML header.
Use : http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/custom-code-in-modules/11936
This plugin allows inserting material into the head section of your Joomla web site.
You can then use the menu assignment functionality to just add that to certain pages.
Its quite easy to write a simple module like that for yourself - but since this seems already available go with that one. If it doesn't fit your needs :
You just need an "empty / hello world" module with these two statements :
( http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Hello_World_Module_for_Joomla_1.5 )
( http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_JavaScript_and_CSS_to_the_page )
// Add a reference to a Javascript file
// The default path is 'media/system/js/'
JHTML::script($filename, $path, $mootools);
// Add a reference to a CSS file
// The default path is 'media/system/css/'
JHTML::stylesheet($filename, $path);
I'm not a big fan of adding new extensions to Joomla unless absolutely necessary. If you do, make sure it's not on Joomla's list of vulnerable extensions, first. Each third-party extension/plugin you add is just one more potential back door for hackers.
To add your own custom CSS for a page, you can either edit your template's master CSS file, or just create your own and link it to the project. Here's how you'd do that:
First, figure out how your CSS files are being called. The actual file names will surely differ from my example, based upon the template you're using, but let's look at the Joomla SYSTEM template, which is located in templates/system. The index.php file controls everything, so open it up and you'll find this line:
<?php
include dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'component.php';
?>
Open component.php and you'll see some code that looks like this:
<head>
<jdoc:include type="head" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
You can see the call to include a CSS file in the 3rd line. All you need to do is add another line calling a CSS file you create. Create a new file called /templates/system/css/custom.css (or whatever you like) and rewrite the code segment in component.php to look like this:
<head>
<jdoc:include type="head" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/custom.css" type="text/css" />
Now you can just code out your own CSS in the new custom.css file you created. You can do this with any template system from RocketTheme or YooTheme just as easily. In fact, if you use one of their templates, they probably already have a custom.css file that you can simply add your own code to. Just be aware if you do it that way and then later update the template, you'll lose your code additions. That's why I prefer writing my own file. You can probably do something very similar to include custom JS code, but I tend to avoid JS like the plague, so someone else will have to address how to link out to a custom JS file.

I have compiled my assets with Laravel mix. In blade file, the traditional way is
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('/css/app.css') }}">
Favicon also works:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="{{ mix('/favicon/favicon-16x16.png') }}">
What am I trying to do is, utilising mix() helper inside javascript, so that in my javascript I can access the cached asset path.
So in my component, I can do:
<img :src="mix_path('/img/hello.svg')" />
Is there a way to achieve that?
What comes to my mind is creating a global mixin and use that method in my read my mix-manifest.json and put the version id.
Edit: Use window object answer. That's sounds fine (as a workaround) as long as you don't use SSR as window object is not defined.
Maybe is there a way to write a javascript helper method to access the manifest.json to get the versioned path? Is it possible?
Update: This is how I solved it:
How to read mix-manifest.json from javascript
To pass PHP variables to the javascript will require you echo them to the page when it is loaded within a PHP file (i.e. a Blade template).
If you want to use them in pure javascript files, you could do something as simple as assigning them to properties of the window object
I was supplied with a custom layout for the login page of my Laravel project.
When I opened login.html file, which represents the layout for that specific page I saw such links
<!-- Base Css Files -->
<link href="assets/libs/jqueryui/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="assets/libs/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="assets/libs/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
...
So I figured that I only need to copy the assets folder, which came with the template (there are all needed bootstraps, jqueries and whatnot) to my projects app\resources\assets directory
Now, when I copied the code from login.html into my login.blade.php view and copied the templates' assets folder to app\resources\assets it doesnt work. It only displays naked html code when I open the page.
What am I doing wrong in linking the assets folder?
The resources folder is (like the name says) for the resources.
If you don't want/need to build/compile/min your scripts, then just put them in the public folder, so you can access them from your template.
In your case
public/assets/libs...
In order to access assets, you have two ways to approach it. Either using Elixir/gulp or to use direct access.
Gulp is a node.js application that reads your assets files, whether JS, CSS, Coffee, etc...and combine them in single files. Gulp reads the files defined in the gulpfile.js, and you can access the output files in your blade file using elixir().
You can read more about Elixir here.
In your specific case, you can just place the files under the public/ directory. So Laravel treats public as the root directory, and if you want to read the file assets/css/foo.css just place the file in public/assets/css/foo.css
In my custom Joomla 3 extension I am using Bootstrap 2.3.2 for the front-end. I noticed that the default Joomla template protostar overwrites default Bootstrap classes which is not what I would like. Is there a way to load my stylesheet after the template's stylesheets so they overwrite any common rules may exist?
Try something like this,
This will add the css at your component calling time inside the component HTML section . Keep in mind it will not add the css at head section but for sure it will appear after the template css
$stylelink = '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/css.css" />';
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addCustomTag($stylelink);
Hope it works..
I've successfully setup my theme and using it for the rest of my site on Magento 1.7, however the print order screen (http://<my-domain>/index.php/sales/order/print/order_id) seems to be ignoring local.css and using all of the styles from styles.css.
For example button.button span from styles.css is being used for the Close button when I have this in local.css and the rest of the site uses this. I've even tried to set a more specific selector but this gets ignored.
Is there something simple I'm missing on this screen as I haven't had this problem anywhere else.
Edit: Workaround solution: I viewed the source HTML of the page and can definitely see that local.css is not loaded anywhere in the page. On other pages I can see it being pulled in. Seems like a bug in Magento 1.7.0.2, so I copied /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/print.phtml to my template path(/app/design/frontend/default/<my-theme>/template/page/print.phtml) and fixed.
It seems this block isn't doing what it's meant to do and does in other pages
<head>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('head') ?>
</head>
So in my copy of the file in my template directory I added the line below just before </head> which worked.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('css/local.css') ?>" media="all" />

I have a layout page which is shared across all of the views in my app. That view references the .css in my app. For the sake of reference, I currently have the following at the top of my _layout.cshtml file:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/themes/default/app.css" />
I am planning on taking this app and loading into a phone app via PhoneGap. Because of that, I cannot use /css/themes/default.app.css. Instead, I need to get it converted to a string that is relative to the path of the file. For instance, I need to dynamically generate a value that looks something like the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/themes/default/app.css" />
The number of "../" will be determined based on how deep it is. I figured there would be a utility or something built into the ASP.NET MVC 3 framework to do this. However, I can't find anything. I have a LOT of files and I don't want to have to manually update all of the url patterns. Is there a utility that will automatically handle what I'm trying to acomplish? If so, how?
Thank you
Use the UrlHelper.Content HTML Helper method .
This method Converts a virtual (relative) path to an application absolute path.
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/themes/default/app.css")"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
You may drop your css folder under the Content directory in the root of your MVC project
