Question

I am using CakePHP 2.0 and I want to load a concrete CSS style in a Page. (with no controller but using the Layout).

I know it can be done with scripts using:

$this->Html->script('photos', array('inline' => false));

And then on the Layout:

<?php echo $scripts_for_layout; ?> 

But i have no idea if it exists or not something similar to $scripts_for_layout; for CSS style.
Do you know how can i do it?

Answer 1

If you can upgrade to 2.1 then you can use this:

// in your view
$this->Html->script('carousel', array('block' => 'scriptBottom'));

// in your layout
 echo $this->fetch('scriptBottom');

update:

In earlier versions you could do it like you do with scripts:

$this->Html->css('some.css', null, array('inline' => false));

And it will be placed to $scripts_for_layout.
