Stylesheets and Print Stylesheet

Adding a stylesheet to your site is as simple as changing the default layout.

Open /app/views/layouts/default.ctp and within the first 10 lines of the page is the line

echo $this->Html->css('cake.generic');

Cake comes with a default style in /app/webroot/css/cake.generic.css which you can edit until your heart's content. Or you can create your own stylesheet and put it into the same folder and change that line to direct your pages to the new style. Observe how the .css extension is not included in the cake function call.

For a Print Stylesheet, it is a little different. To set a print stylesheet you need to set the options to include the media type.

echo $this->Html->css('cake.print', 'stylesheet', array('media' => 'print'));
