Question

so suppose inside the views/scripts directories within the application folder of my zend framework project, I would like to put in javascript/css files and then I would like to add these to my pages…

what would be the best way in doing so since if I just put in the full path to the file it will complain that it can’t find the ‘application’ controller…

Answer 1

JavaScript and CSS (and images, flash and any other public, static asset) should go under the public directory.

You reference these in your view / layout using the appropriate view helper

<?php echo $this->headScript()->appendFile(
        $this->baseUrl('path/to/script.js')) ?>

If you must place these in your application directory, consider creating symbolic links under the public directory.
