I am looking to apply a stylesheet located in the skin/frontend/default/mytheme/css folder to a page inside the admin area of Magento. See the layout XML I am using to add this stylesheet to the admin page below:

<my_custom_admin_layout_handle>
        <reference name="head">
            <action method="addItem">
                 <type>skin_css</type>
                 <file>css/my-custom-stylesheet.css</file>
            </action>
        </reference>
</my_custom_admin_layout_handle>

The code does add the stylesheet link tag to the page but references the href as skin/adminhtml/base/default/css/my-custom-stylesheet.css. See link tag added to page below:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/skin/adminhtml/base/default/css/personalshop.css" media="all" />

Is there a way that I can get the stylesheet href to reference the stylesheet in the folder skin/frontend/default/mytheme/css using the layout handle above?

you need put the css admin area.

Admin css located at skin/adminhtml/<AdminPackage>/<Admintemplate>.

my-custom-stylesheet.css should located at skin/adminhtml/default/default/css

code is right:

<my_custom_admin_layout_handle>
        <reference name="head">
            <action method="addItem">
                 <type>skin_css</type>
                 <file>css/my-custom-stylesheet.css</file>
            </action>
        </reference>
</my_custom_admin_layout_handle>

  • Hi Amit, This would mean duplicating code though and the styles contained inside the file will be shared on both frontend and admin pages. I want this to remain the same without the need to update the code in 2 places if there are updates to the stylesheet in the future. Mar 24, 2015 at 11:53
  • according my concept .it too complex
