Several paths

[Vadorequest]

I tried to override your module to accept in the factory to load another config file than the default one. (BTW, you could have done better instead of repeating X time the same config load...)

<?php defined('SYSPATH') OR die('No direct script access.');

class Assets extends Kohana_Assets {

    /**
     * Contains the config object.
     * @var array
     */
    private static $config;

    public static function require_valid_type($type)
    {
        if ( ! in_array($type, array_keys(Assets::$config['load_paths'])))
        {
            throw new Kohana_Exception('Type :type must be one of [:types]', array(
                    ':type'  => $type,
                    ':types' => join(', ', array_keys(Assets::$config['load_paths'])))
            );
        }
        return TRUE;
    }

    /**
     * Determine if file was modified later then source
     *
     * @param   string  $file
     * @param   string  $source_modified_time
     * @return  bool
     */
    public static function is_modified_later($file, $source_modified_time)
    {
        return ( ! is_file($file) OR filemtime($file) < $source_modified_time);
    }

    /**
     * Set file path
     *
     * @param   string  $type
     * @param   string  $file
     * @return  string
     */
    public static function file_path($type, $file)
    {
        // Set file
        $file = substr($file, 0, strrpos($file, $type)).$type;

        return (isset(Assets::$config['docroot']) ? Assets::$config['docroot'] : '').Assets::$config['folder'].DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$type.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$file;
    }

    /**
     * Set web path
     *
     * @param   string  $type
     * @param   string  $file
     * @return  string
     */
    public static function web_path($type, $file)
    {
        // Set file
        $file = substr($file, 0, strrpos($file, $type)).$type;

        return Assets::$config['folder'].'/'.$type.'/'.$file;
    }

    /**
     * Return a new Assets object
     *
     * @param   $name   string
     * @param   $config array|bool
     * @return  Assets
     */
    static public function factory($name, $config = false)
    {
        return new Assets($name, $config);
    }

    /**
     * Create the asset groups, set the file name and enable / disable process
     * and merge
     *
     * @param string $name
     */
    public function __construct($name = 'all', $config = null)
    {
        if($config){
            Assets::$config = $config;
        }else{
            Assets::$config = Kohana::$config->load('asset-merger');
        }

        foreach (array_keys(Assets::$config['load_paths']) as $type)
        {
            // Add asset groups
            $this->_groups[$type] = new Asset_Collection($type, $name);
        }

        // Set the merged file name
        $this->_name = $name;

        // Set process and merge
        $this->_process = $this->_merge = in_array(Kohana::$environment, (array) Assets::$config['merge']);
    }
}

But so far, it just doesn't work. THe problem is that the _destination_file and _destination_web in the _groups instance variable are wrong. Still using the old path.

I think that's because in the asset/collection.php the call to Assets::web_path calls actually your Assets.php class instead of mine. Or I don't understand the problem.

View:

echo Assets::factory('after', App::config('asset-merger-theme'))
            ->js("jquery/jquery-validationEngine.js")
            ->js("jquery/jquery-validationEngine-$lang.js")
            ->render();

A way to do that would be nice, because I use complex paths with theme.
And anyway, load different config file between different call would be useful.

@Vadorequest Do you think your issue could be fixed by #15?

[Vadorequest]

Well, I'm not sure! It's basically what I wanted to do but I don't know how
it works behind, does the script will try to find the file in all the
paths? I guess so, so yeah, it should work.
