In moving modules from 5.x to 6.x it is commonly suggested to move our “drupal_add_css” (and _js) into hook_init. Ceratinly I did this in nearly all my modules because it was the common suggestion. However, now that I’m making a big change in one and having problems with the CSS, it dawned on me that this suggestion adds the CSS files to *every* page, not just the ones we were targeting. It finally dawned on me that I have hook_help that only fires on the pages I need to CSS on, so I moved the “drupal_add_css” into hook_help, which to me makes a lot more sense because now my CSS is only applied to those pages for which it is intended. What do others think of this? Are there pitfalls I may not have covered?
