I am using a ‘skins’ approach to loading css into my Zend Framework site.

I am using a ‘skins’ approach to loading css into my Zend Framework site.

From layout.phtml:

  <head>
  <?php 
    print $this->headTitle();
    print $this->headScript();
    $this->loadSkin($this->skin);
    print $this->headLink();
    print $this->jQuery();
    print $this->layout()->customJS;
  ?>
</head>

where loadSkin() is a view helper that looks like this:

class Zend_View_Helper_LoadSkin extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract {
  public function loadSkin ($skin) {
    $skinData = new Zend_Config_Xml('./skins/' . $skin . '/skin.xml');
    $stylesheets = $skinData->stylesheets->stylesheet->toArray();
    if (is_array($stylesheets)) {
      foreach ($stylesheets as $stylesheet) {
        $this->view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('$skin.'/css/'.$stylesheet);
      } 
    } 
  } 
}

Everything shows up fine in the browser (any graphical browser), including jQueryUI elements, like here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/70PVl.png.

But when I print, the css is completely ignored, like here:

I am completely stumped – and can’t find anything here or on ZF forums about giving separate css parameters for printing. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

    Iam not sure, but i think you have to set the MediaType for the CSS File:

    //Display + Print
->appendStylesheet($skin.'/css/'.$stylesheet, 'screen,print');

//Only for Printers
->appendStylesheet($skin.'/css/'.$stylesheet, 'print');

    View the following link for more information about the View-Helper for Stylesheets http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.headlink
