Tools::addCSS doesn't work when leaving only footer hook

[Muller]

Hiya,

I've created a simple module that displays footer links, and it is obviously hooked to the footer.

I have a css page in /themes/mytheme/modules/mymodule/blah.css.

By default my module hooks to left, right, top and footer. If I leave it like this I see the module's content 4 times and the css is working. If I remove the left, right and top hook, the module is only shown in the footer, BUT it's css doesn't work! I let my site load and hit view source on the main page, and the css is not even loaded.

Any ideas why this happens?!

In my opinion, you should hold your CSS files with module files, so not in themes/modules/..., but in modules/your_module/css/... and this helps to prevent some minor bugs or errors that you face. Also do you add your CSS files to the header hook?

But what if my module doesn't sit in the header hook?

 

Do I still need to add the CSS there?

If you use addCSS function you should also use header hook.

 

Maybe this page will help - adding hooks.

Ok, I see. Thanks!

If it is so, why blockadvertising doesn't use hookHeader() and I can see it at the right column but blockadvertising.css does not work?
