Yii 1.1 General Discussion

is there a guide line on how to use assets?

i can`t figure out how to change the design of them, without modifing them in the zii

thanks in advance:)

What is your need?

assets folder is automatically populated by different parts of Yii…

for example for CListView i want to modify the css for the pages

how can i make it not load the default css and to load only the one i made

how can i make sure a file is loaded only once, for example js??

i understand that assets are used to bring js, css and images to the public directory

For CListView you can use the cssFile property - http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/CListView#cssFile-detail

and put your CSS file for example in www.yourdomain.com/css

Sorry for using this old post but is exactly my problem.

I’d like to change the bg.gif (table header bg) for all the CGridViews I use , I am changing root/css/bg.gif but nothing happens, I need to change the assets/number/gridview/bg.gif to get it changed.

How should I do it?

CGridView has it’s own default CSS file where the bg.gif is set for the background… this file is copyed to the assets folder… so you cannot change it there…

take a look at the default CSS file for the CGridView… and create a custom one…

the default CSS file is in Yii root folder /framework/zii/widgets/assets/gridview/styles.css

NOTE: it’s a bad practice to change framework files… .so you need to create a custom one… .and use the cssFile property - http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CGridView#cssFile-detail
