I had this same problem and here is how I took care of this.
I created 2 php files. One that had a CSS header so it would act as
CSS and the other, you guessed it, with a JS header.
I used the php include in those files to include any scripts that
would be used across the entire app.
// Below this line, EVERYTHING is include, unconditionally
include('site.generic.css');
include('elements/nav.css');
>From there I create a variable in the Views as so:
$this->set('css_var', array('form', 'post')) // Creates the variable
$css_var for use in the layout.
Then I manually call my css link in the layout:
<link href="/css/container.css.php<?php if(!empty($css)) echo '?';
if(isset($css)){
foreach ($css as $cssvalue){
echo $cssvalue.'=true&';
}
}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
That way if you're viewing a page that has form and post set for the
layout the php would output:
<link href="/css/container.css.php?form=true&post=true"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Then back in the container.css.php file you'll just have to set up
some globals that link in the different CSS elements.
if(@$_GET['form'] == 'true'){
include('elements/form.css');
}
if(@$_GET['post'] == 'true'){
include('elements/post.css');
}
I use this technique to keep my css and js files as small as possible
for each view. It also makes editing and debugging easy because if I
notice that there is a problem with the form styles I have to open up
my elements/form.css file and scroll a few lines instead of hundreds.
Just keep in mind that a dynamic spreadsheet should not cache.
