Most of the solutions provide are very ugly and messy as well.
What you really want is to add and remove css/js files as and when you
want and display them when you want too.
To do that you need this:
In the app_controller.php declare a var to hold all the js and scc
files like so:
var $css_files = array('core); // you can add default files to the
array
var $js_files = array('prototype.js'); // you can add default files to
the array
in the beforeRender set the data
function beforeRender(){
$this->set('js_files',$this->js_files);
$this->set('css_files',$this->css_files);
}
Now in any controller you can add css or js files to your page
Example:
A page that has a form
example_controller.php
function add(){
$this->css_files[] = 'form'; //it can be an array as well
$this->css_files[] = array('form','signup','any_css_file'); //it
can be an array as well
$this->js_files[] = 'fake_script.js'; //it can be an array as well
}
Now in your layout you add this
//You may can create an element if you like
//echo $this->element('page_files', array('page_files' => array( 'send
in the data to the element' )));
//OR
if(isset($css_files)){
echo $html->css($css_files); // you may need to put inside a foreach
depending on your version of CakePhp
}
if(isset($js_files)){
if(is_array($js_files)){
foreach($js_files as $js_file){
echo $javascript->link($js_file);
}
}
else{
echo $javascript->link($js_files);
}
}
Hope it solves your problem
Will write a tutorial on how to do this soon.....
