“Giving your Plugin its own CP Section” What about the CSS?

Question

I'm working on a plugin with it's own CP section as described in the docs here. What is the appropriate way to include CSS styling for that page?

Answer 1

You can include CSS for your plugin one of two ways.

1) Inline CSS

You can include CSS snippets by using {% includeCss myCss %}. This is great if you are just wanting to include a few lines of CSS. Read more here: http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/templating/includecss

2) Reference a Resource CSS file

Usually contained in your /resources folder inside your plugin you can include a CSS file by using {% includeCssResource "pluginName/styles.css" %} You can read more here: http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/resources
