Hello guys

My $ThemeDir variable isn't working as intended for some reason. The only way I can get it to work, is to put my overall project folder in the link, like so:

href="/project-base/$ThemeDir/css/style.css" />

I want it to be like this:

href="/$ThemeDir/css/style.css" />

Does anybody know how to resolve this? Thank you.

I've googled for 3 hours straight without any luck.

$Themedir should start from the root folder in the project and then go into the theme directory, but mine starts all the way from htdocs.

I'm desperate for an answer at this point.

Hi Kimyeti,
could you describe what you need to achieve? If you need to SS place your stylesheet in head section you should do something like this:

For example in your Page.php or in any specific page, in the Controller add:

    public function init()
    {
        parent::init();
        Requirements::css($this->ThemeDir().'/css/style.css');
    }

You could also try to add <% base_tag %> in your Page.ss head section.

Cheers,
Darek.

Hi eightythree,

Thank you for your reply.

The function works, but it's sadly not what I'm trying to achieve. I'm building a "project-base" which is a foundation for all my other future projects. The problem is that I need $Themedir to link correctly to my themes folder (which is does not). I do have a <% base_tag %> in my Page.ss, but it doesn't work.

If I need to link to an image for example then I need to write it like this:

<img src="/project-base/$ThemeDir/img/test.jpg">

But the clients website might be called "Febis-Pizza" and therefore I have to correct every link in my theme to this:

<img src="/febis-pizza/$ThemeDir/img/test.jpg">

I just want it to be like this:

<img src="/$ThemeDir/img/test.jpg">

In the SilverStripe tutorial for beginners it works and I do not understand what I'm doing wrong:

Thank you again
