Question

The image below (at the very bottom) is the file structure for the site I’m building, where I can’t connect the CSS file properly.

In directory Public/Admin/ there is a file login.php. From login.php, I use the following function call…

to get the header for the login.php page.

The function it calls in the (Includes/functions.php file) is this

function include_layout_template($template=""){
include(SITE_ROOT.DS.'public'.DS.'layouts'.DS.$template);
}

which gets the admin_header.php file from the LAYOUT directory. I know the admin_header.php is loading properly into the login.php file using this function call because the html of the admin_header.php file is appearing when i load login.php. However, the admin_header.php file also has the link to the main.css file in the StyleSheets directory

<link href="../stylesheets/main.css" media="al" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

Although, as mentioned, admin_header.php is being incorporated into public/Admin/login.php, the stylesheet is not working.

Looking at the directory structure below, is there something wrong with my link to the stylesheet?

Answer 1

It’s not the relativity of the file location that is your problem. You have media="al" when it should be media="all". This should fix it.
