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?

:::Solved:::

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.
