Magento – Conditionally add CSS file in layout XML (local.xml)

Bottom line: you need to have a value calculated by PHP, therefore the approach of using a helper is appropriate. I think it makes sense to use the addCss convenience method rather than addItem a it's a little cleaner and should work fine for your needs:

<{handle}>
    <action block="head" method="addCss">
        <stylesheet helper="my_module/my_helper/getFileName" />
    </action>
</{handle}>

Your helper seems to be calculating the path to the CSS files using the design model, but this will be done again by the page/html_head block. Change your helper to simply return the file paths relative to the theme (i.e. not using the design model) and your problem is solved.

Magento – Magento theme not get loaded

I would not often suggest making changes via the database but in the case where you cannot access the admin section the package information is stored in the table core_config_data where the path = 'design/package/name'

I would suggest that you change your admin package and theme back to the default and see if that helps you to edit items from the admin section before you start to play around with the database.

Also make a backup before working directly with the database.
