Customization and CSS in subfolder?

Permalink
Greetings,
I am trying to accomplish a couple of things:
1. Keep folder structure organized (ie. CSS subfolder)
2. Customize a theme

Unfortunately, in order to customize a theme, it appears that my CSS must be in root rather than subfolder.

Any suggestions on how I can move my CSS back to subfolder and still be able to customize a theme?

It doesn't really have to be in the root. You can move your css to a /css directory.

Just go through all your template files (such as "default.php", "full.php", "left_sidebar.php", etc. - OR the "/elements/header.php" file, if that's what your particular theme uses) and update the path information in the page header to reflect the new location of your css files.

E.G.:
<link href="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

becomes
<link href="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />


getThemePath() points to the root directory of the current theme.
