link stylesheet or php include for CSS files?

rcane · March 08, 2023, 09:07:40 AM

I'm building a file 'template.css' that is just full of CSS styles.

As a test, I made a simple index.php that had

'include_once("template.css"); which worked fine.

But, what is the preferred convention?

Should I be using <link> with the stylesheet and appropriate href /> instead?

Yo should be using <link> either inside the <head> tag in the index.template.php or appending it to $context['html_headers']

For SMF 2.1, you should be using the loadCSSFile() function

Thanks. These are custom pages that I'm keeping in a single folder so I'm not needing to get involved with $context. I'll just keep and link my own CSS for these pages.

But if you're using SSI to load the theme, you will *have* to use $context for this kind of integration...
