[Bug] Call to undefined function views_path() WHEN STTING NEW CUSTOM THEME

[azeddine-hf]

in documentation : The my-cool-theme/inc/theme_styles.blade.php file should hold all custom CSS that your theme needs. For example:

{{-- You can load files directly from CDNs, they will get cached and loaded from local --}} @basset('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css')

{{-- You can also load files from any place in your application directories --}} @basset(views_path('my-cool-theme/assets/css/extra.css'))

{{-- You can also write inline CSS blocks --}} @bassetBlock('my-cool-theme/custom-styling')

@endBassetBlock but in usage shows an error : Call to undefined function views_path()

yeah, you right @azeddine-hf, thanks for the heads up 🙏

please use resource_path('assets/css/my-cool-theme/whatever.css'). (need to put the whatever.css in resources/assets/css/my-cool-theme/ directory.

I will send a PR to fix the docs 👍

@pxpm how can i set it on blade file : {{ resource_path('assets/css/my-cool-theme/whatever.css') }} LIKE THIS or inside <link ... /> ??

[pxpm]

On blade you use @basset() directive 👍 Basset will output the correct import tag for it, either link, script etc. eg: https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/blob/ac35070c94c3db7ceb7680b5eb7307cac56eea74/src/resources/views/crud/reorder.blade.php#L233

@pxpm please theme_scripts.blade.php doesn't load why ?

No clue, where do you have the file ? How are you including it ?

It's just a blade file, it should just load as any other blade file in the application 🤷

[azeddine-hf]

@pxpm the theme_stylesit included automaticly but the theme_scripts does not i have include it in default.blade.phpfile manually thank you @pxpm

[pxpm]

Yes, in the layout it's where we include them: https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/theme-coreuiv2/blob/11ec0cbaecefd3272601a7fb0d32457533a09ce6/resources/views/layouts/top_left.blade.php#L50
