Hi.

I'm making a site with the aproach of Paged based Navigation as is mentioned in this chapter: www.zkoss.org/wiki/ZKEssentials/Chapter7:Navigationand_Templating.

I would like to share css between pages, but the only way to do this is adding at the begining of the *.zul the line and others like js, favicon, etc.

The thing is that I don't want to repeat all of this lines in all files. I try to make an <include src=""> with this lines inside but it's not possible.

Could anyone inspire me?

Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

Assuming you want to declare the same JS / CSS / etc resources on every page of your project, I'd recommend making them into a lang-addon: https://www.zkoss.org/wiki/ZKClient-sideReference/Language_Definition

you can create a lang-addon xml file, declare it in zk.xml with the langage-config element https://www.zkoss.org/wiki/ZKConfigurationReference/zk.xml/Thelanguage-configElement and the content of the lang-addon will modify all zul pages loaded in this website.

You can globally declare JS with the javascript element, styles using stylesheet, etc. I recommend making all of these resources into separate files under a /resources folder, for easy management, then your lang-addon will look like:

<language>
<addon-name>myAwesomeAddon</addon-name>
<depends>zk</depends>
<language-name>xul/html</language-name>

    <!--VERSION IS OPTIONAL, JUST HERE IF YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR OWN LANG-DEF TIDY BETWEEN VERSIONS-->

<version> 
    <version-class>org.zkoss.zul.Version</version-class>
    <version-uid>5.0.6</version-uid>
</version>

<javascript src="ressources/js/myScript.js"/>
    <javascript src="ressources/js/myOtherScript.js"/>
<stylesheet href="/ressources/css/mySheet.css" type="text/css"/>
<stylesheet href="/ressources/css/myOtherSheet.css" type="text/css"/>
</language?

Note: content of the lang-addon are applied globally, but you can still have "page specific" resources that you load on a page by page basis the "normal" way

Can I ask why you don't want to create a separate CSS file and put something like :

<?link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/mystyles.css"?>

at the start of each ZUL?

You (as you said) do it for JS and FAVICON.

Just interested in your reason.

can't answer for OP specifically, but I can think of a number of good reasons: Not wanting to update all of the pages when you need to change your global resources imports, having a lot of pages, using lang-addon as a packaged module (to still include the resources when added into a project, etc)

Long story short, if you can achieve the same effect with a few line in lang-addon, or "one line times as many resources times as many pages" as exist in your website, lang-addon is just plain easier

Not want to update all of the pages and not repeat in all pages the same making the code cleaner.
