Question

I have been trying to write a plugin on elgg framework. So I tried to call specific css for a particular page by using elgg_extend_view() function which is not working. For example

 if(elgg_get_context()){
     elgg_extend_view('css/elgg', 'myplugin/css');
 }/*This works*/

But the following doesnt seem to work

if(!elgg_get_context()){ //If there is not elggcontext call no_css file
     elgg_extend_view('css/elgg', 'myplugin/no_css');
 }/*This is not working */

Can anybody tell me why?

Answer 1

Apparently, you're misinterpreting expected behavior of elgg_get_context function.

Check: http://reference.elgg.org/pageowner_8php.html#a25fe73eb19442b4a4476f18e63abf382 It uses strings as a context name (it has to be pushed first and is expected usually to be set just before pagesetup event)

Conditional extension of elgg/css won't work correctly, due to caching. You probably want to use elgg_register_css and elg_load_css instead.
