Question

I’m working on a new Moodle Assignment plugin.
How can I include a custom CSS to my plugin?
I’m using Moodle 1.9.7.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

just add a file called styles.php into the Module’s folder.
the file should output CSS code when it is parsed.

Moodle goes into each Module’s folder and looks for that file, when the page’s CSS layout is constructed.

Some themes can ignore these files using a special setting in the theme’s config.php file

$THEME->modsheets = true;

/// When this is enabled, then this theme will search for
/// files named "styles.php" inside all Activity modules and
/// include them.   This allows modules to provide some basic
/// layouts so they work out of the box.
/// It is HIGHLY recommended to leave this enabled.

here is a short sample of what could be the content of this styles.php file:

/* simple CSS code */ 
.left { float:left; }

/* php that generate CSS code */
< ?php if ( right_to_left() ) {echo ".right:text-align:left;"} 
else {echo ".right:text-align:right;"} ?>
