Here is the general article about adding CSS files:

You can add a condition for admin area in the getThemeFiles() method:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!is_null($adminZone))

that implies that without that, all the files would get added on the admin, right? my issue is that i'm not seeing my css files being added o the admin side, so i'm wondering if that method actually gets called in the admin panel.

this morning I found this in AdminPanel.php

PHP Code:


		
			
/**

     * Register CSS files

     *

     * @return array

     */

    public function getCSSFiles()

    {

        $list = parent::getCSSFiles();



        $list[] = 'css/admin_panel.css';



        return $list;

    }

so I'm thinking maybe I can extend that to add my admin panel css.

but if you're saying that the getthemfiles() method of aview gets called in the admin area, then I dont need to do that. can you clarify?

Ok, so I fugured out the issue. In order for the css to show up in the admin area, you have to add it to skins/admin/en/modules/devid/modid/.

as I'm learning over and over, where I place my code is just as integral as the code itself.
