CakePHP CSS difficulty

Question

Im using CakePHP 2.0 as a framework for my website, I'm having some difficulty with the CSS. Basically what is going wrong is that I have my CSS file being defined on the default.ctp page. It works on this page, however if I navigate to localhost/evolvidsnew/users/login the css is not being used so theres no background colours or position changes etc on the default.ctp I have used the following line,

<link rel="stylesheet" href="App/webroot/css/style.css"/>

am I doing something wrong here? Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a path issue. Try an absolute path to your CSS file. — Jeremy Harris

try using just /css/style.css cake uses App/webroot as the main directory — Brian Glaz

With default configuration CakePHP redirects all requests to the root of the site to app/webroot.

So for your case you should use /css/style.css

To work properly you should use the Html helper from CakePHP core library:

<?php echo $this->Html->css('style'); ?>

This should make the style work on every page.

Oh, and the HtmlHelper should be loaded automatically, if it isn't, add this to your controller class:

public $helpers = array('Html');

For more information about HtmlHelper and other core libraries, visit http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries.html#helpers

how would this apply if I wanted to load up a jquery file for actions etc?

It is explained in the link I posted. Can be done through echo $this->Html->script('nameofyourfile.js');
