I wish to add a version number to my css file but I don't see a way to do it with the html helper.
I see one example of adding a timestamp through the bootstrap.php but I want to be able to control the version number myself.
I am using cakephp 2.3
style.min.css?v=1
<?php
echo $this->Html->css('style.min', array('v'=>'1'));
echo $this->fetch('css');
?>
or
<?php
echo $this->Html->css('style.min?v=1');
echo $this->fetch('css');
?>
Just add the .css
echo $this->Html->css('style.min.css?v=1');
Although it's standard practice to omit the .css, it's acceptable to include it, and will allow you to add additional parameters to the end of the URL.
In CakePHP 3x you can do this in config/app.php.
/**
* Apply timestamps with the last modified time to static assets (js, css, images).
* Will append a querystring parameter containing the time the file was modified.
* This is useful for busting browser caches.
*
* Set to true to apply timestamps when debug is true. Set to 'force' to always
* enable timestamping regardless of debug value.
*/
'Asset' => [
// 'timestamp' => true,
],
Configure::write('Asset.timestamp', true); and consider setting it to 'force'. stackoverflow.com/a/14493811/1973005
