Help creating a Conditional tag (Output Modifier)

Just a note. Susan's suggestion and mine won't work very well together unless you have the snippet tag in one chunk, and separate chunks with nothing but the CSS code in them. The latter are the ones whose names are in the snippet. IOW, you don't want to send the snippet tag to regClientCSS(), just the CSS itself.

In fact, you might not need the first chunk, since you can put the snippet tag in the Template or the page content.

FYI, regClientCSS() will also take the URL of a CSS file rather than the raw CSS from a chunk as an argument if you prefer to use files for your CSS code.

$modx->regClientCSS(MODX_ASSETS_URL . 'css/mycssfile.css');

Awesome, thank you both Susan & Bob.

One more quick question. From here do I need to put:

[[!this-snippet-we-just-created]]

on my template or just use the TV selections as is.

Thanks

I'll be explaining the use of these $modx->regClient...() API functions in my presentation at MODXpo. I hadn't really realized how often I use them.

Are you saying that I can have a chunk like this:



$modx->regClientCSS(MODX_ASSETS_URL . 'css/mycssfile.css');

<section id="case_study" class="clearfix">

<div id="left_column">
[[*left_content]]
</div>

	  <div id="right_column">

	  [[*right_content]]
	    </div>
</section>

The

$modx->regClientCSS(MODX_ASSETS_URL . 'css/mycssfile.css');

part is PHP and should be in a Snippet.

Pure awesomeness, I got it working thank you both. As instructed I just created a snippet that calls CSS & JS files and put this snippet w/ the tag in the chunk that I needed.

Thank you again.
