    In %sf_root_dir%/data/js/my.first.stylesheet.css path is incorrect, it should be In %sf_root_dir%/data/css/my.first.stylesheet.css

    Hi Vince

    There is actually no real way to pack a tinymce. As you said, tinymce is very special, it has his own tree structure, and loads javascripts dynamically.

    I don't agree to the fact it should be packed with symfony core, it would need big refactoring work, and many important features are still missing (like media and position management).

    But thanks for your comment, glad to know it's usefull for other people.

    That definitely should be packed within the symfony core !
    That's a great way to manage web assets.

    By the way, I really couldn't figure out how to pack a tinymce.
    Tinymce as its own file tree structure that does not seem compatible with sfDynamics.

    Any way to pack a whole folder with a file call ? That would be great !
    :)
