How to add CSS/Javascript files to a new created application

[PasXal]

Hey,

is there any way to add css / javascript files to a new created application?
I tried to add
 

<css css_location="front" css_app="name_of_the_app" css_attributes="" css_name="application.css"></css>

in my .phtml file but it does not work.

I also tried
 

{parse addtohead="file.css" type="css"}
{parse addtohead="file.js" type="javascript"}

My css / js files are stored in "application/myApplication/css/front/file.css" and "application/myApplication/js/front/file.js". They are not handled by the application automatically.
What's the best way to do that? Is there a tutorial?

Hi,

{parse addtohead="file.css" type="css"}
{parse addtohead="file.js" type="javascript"}

I would also like an answer to this question. I've found some documentation about this particular case dating back from 2008. Now, seems it's not working anymore..

An example (includeJS) or (includeCSS) of what you need exists in your global template

{template="includeJS" if="theme.js_include != 'footer'" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""}

That could be used without the "if" like so

{template="includeJS" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""}

Same applies to your css

{template="includeCSS" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""}
