Hello,

Is there a way to specify a new asset type within the asset config file? I've been looking at the asset docs, and I don't currently have a solution.

ex: Asset::uploads('title_cards/card1.png');

You can call add_type() in the Asset instance to add a new type, after which you can call find_file() or get_file() to get URL's to files of the new type.

Can you please give me an example?

Assuming you're not using custom instances:

\Asset::instance()->add_type('test');
$url = \Asset::instance()->get_file('filename.png', 'test');

Will return <assetpath>/test/filename.png (if this file exists).

Thank you, that works fine.

But, is there any way to be able to define a new type, like Asset::uploads? and define 'uploads' so I can use it anywhere in the application like I would Asset::img, Asset::js, etc.

You will have to extend the Asset class (to provide the static interface) and the Asset_Instance class (to provide the actual method).

Check http://docs.fuelphp.com/general/extending_core.html#extend_and_replace on how to go about extending the core.
