Hello all!

I want to make multi-template project and try to use Asset class in advanced mode as separate instances.

When I try use static class, it works ok:
- In base controller -
Asset::add_path('assets/face/');
Asset::css('style.css', array(), 'face');

- In view -
<?=Asset::render('face')?>

But when I try use instance of class, something goes wrong:
- In base controller -
$asset = Asset::forge('face', array('paths' => 'assets/face/'));
$asset->css('style.css', array(), 'facegrp');

- In view -
<?=Asset::instance('face')->render('facegrp')?>

In the last way I get the error:
Fuel\Core\FuelException [ Error ]: Could not find asset: style.css

Can you help me to understand, what do I do wrong?
Thanks.

PS: The style file style.css is placed in assets/face/css/.

Ok. I decided to approach the issue seriously and installed the netbeans with xdebug :)
I find out that Asset::forge('face', array('patths' => 'assets/face/')) has no effect I expected. No new path was added. I don't known is it a bug or I don't understand all of the developers plans for this config parameter, but I also find out that $asset->add_path('asset/face/) works good like as Asset::add_path('asset/face/') with static version.

I am satisfied with that, but maybe Asset::forge has a bug, what do you think about it?

Asset::forge() does:

new \Asset_Instance(array_merge(static::$default_config, \Config::get('asset'), $config));

So it merges the default config, any asset config file loaded, and the config you pass, and passes that on to the instance created.

The constructor of Asset_Instance does:

// global search paths
foreach ($config['paths'] as $path)
{
$this->add_path($path);
}

So you see that 'paths' is defined as an array, not as a string:

$asset = Asset::forge('face', array('paths' => array('assets/face/')));

Thank you. You are right!

Oops. You are right, but not documentation.

http://fuelphp.com/docs/classes/asset/advanced.html


Example 	

// instantiate a asset object with a custom search path
$asset = Asset::forge('custom', array('paths' =&gt; 'custom/assets/');

The config docs are ok (they specify it has to be an array) but the two examples in advanced are indeed incorrect. I've fixed those.
