Re: [fw-mvc] question about view script

I've been trying to come up with a good answer for this myself. I have scripts and stylesheets that are included on every page, but only when using my default layout. To accomplish this, I have a rather large block of php code at the top of my layout view script like this:

<?php

$this->headLink()->prependStylesheet('/css/old-realtown/supplemental.css');
$this->headLink()->prependStylesheet('/css/old-realtown/main.css');
$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/old-realtown/ie.css', 'screen', 'IE');

$this->headScript()->prependFile('/js/common.js');
$this->headScript()->prependFile('/js/cookies/cookies.js');
$this->headScript()->prependFile('/js/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js');
$this->headScript()->prependFile('/js/prototype/prototype.js');

?>

It's a little awkward, but it's the only way I have found to ensure that the base scripts and layout-specific stylesheets are loaded for this layout only. Also note that I have to do some strange juggling of prepend* and append* to ensure the files are loaded in the right order. This is especially true for me because I tend to append view-specific stylesheets and javascript files at the controller level (which is added to the placeholders before the layout adds its files).

What would be the best way to have all the initial values of these helpers on one place?
I don't want to set the same values in each controller. How can i solve this in a nice way?

Using scriptHead is a solution.

But I think your problem is with the variable setting:

This should be $this->view->script = "event.js";
