Integrating the files into the theme
Now that we have all the files, we will see how to integrate them into the theme.
To declare the new JavaScript and CSS files, we have to insert the action in the local.xml file located at app/design/frontend/bookstore/default/layout.
Tip
As explained in the previous chapter, all the overrides of the base theme should go in the local.xml file and we are going to use it to add new CSS and JavaScript files.
In particular, the file declaration needs to be done in the default handle to make it accessible by the whole theme.
The default handle is defined by the following tags:
<default> . . . </default>
The action to insert the JavaScript and CSS files must be placed inside the reference head block. So, open the local.xml file and first create the following block that will define the reference:
<reference name="head"> … </reference>
