CSS/JS Files adding from Plugin

RT Developers
1

Hi Developers,
whats the best way to add custom css/js files from a plugin into RT?

From customizing doc (Customizing/Styling rt - RT 4.0.25 Documentation - Best Practical) it is recommended to

Set( @CSSFiles, (‘my-site.css’) );

But in many Extensions I find this way:

RT->AddStyleSheets(‘module.css’)

RT->AddJavaScript(“module.js”);

Called from the Extension::Module.pm

Are both working the same way? Will both ways minified?

Those docs should also be linking to
http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs/latest/RT.html#AddStyleSheets
which is RT->AddStyleSheets

If you’re an admin who is just adding a new css or js file, but not
writing an extension, then use @CSSFiles. If you’re writing an
extension, use the RT-> methods.

They both minify.

Hi,

Use methods in extensions. That doc you referenced is more for admins to do
local and quick customizations.On Fri, Jun 7, 2013 at 4:52 PM, Brumm, Torsten / Kuehne + Nagel / Ham GI-ID torsten.brumm@kuehne-nagel.com wrote:
