Thanks, that is very usefull, I'll keep it in mind!

Thanks a lot for this add-on Tim, this is really very useful

Hey Tim, this looks great, thanks!

However, I am having problems getting it to work. I am trying to implement it on a couple of sites, and I am getting the following errors (this is from a site on my local server - I've tried it online too):

Code: Select all

 Warning: filemtime(): stat failed for C:/xampp1/htdocs/mysite/<link in C:\xampp1\htdocs\mysite\couch\addons\minify-js-css\minify.php on line 38

The page is basically a list of errors like this - I am assuming there is something wrong with the filepaths. I am using the Couch 2.1 beta - is there maybe something in the new version that is stopping this working? I've tried it with Prettyurls both on and off, so that isn't the problem.
I have uploaded the minify folder into addons, and added the appropriate line to kfunctions.
The code I am using is:

Code: Select all

<cms:minify 'css' into='css/style.min.css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/hamburgers.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</cms:minify>

I can't quite see what the problem is, but I'm probably missing something pretty obvious!
Thanks in advance.

You're correct, @ewanmc. The problem is with the file paths. The tag only wants to see the file names relative to the root. You don't need the <link> tags. So like this:

Code: Select all

<cms:minify 'css' into='css/style.min.css'>
   css/hamburgers.css
   css/normalize.css
   css/main.css
</cms:minify>

D'oh! I knew I was being stupid and missing something obvious. Sometimes it just needs someone to look at it and instantly see what is wrong.

Thanks so much, great work!

Hi Tim,
Your plugin really saves a lot of routine work

I want to ask you for a small change in the way the data is output.
Now they look like this:
<link href="my-site/my-css-file.css?timestamp" rel="stylesheet" >

Can you change the data output as follows (Internal Style Sheet):
<style>
here is the whole CSS min code - for example
.broene:nth-child(4n) {margin-right:0;} ... ... ... border:0;height: 1px; ... ... ...
</style>

It should also be dropped whole timestamp.

Why is this necessary?
This is a better way to embed CSS code into small and almost-large sites for Google speed.
I have a few sites that I use internal Style Sheet and I see better results!

I believe this will be useful to many Couch users
Thanks

Thanks @orbital. I'm glad you like it.

The tag will embed css or scripts on the page if you don't name an output file.

Code: Select all

    <cms:minify 'css'>
        css/bootstrap.css
        css/bootstrap-theme.css
        css/custom.css
    </cms:minify>

    <cms:minify 'js'>
        js/jquery.js
        js/bootstrap.js
        js/bootstrap-plugin.js
        js/custom.js
    </cms:minify>

That really works - thank you

Tim can anything be done to HTML compress? (HTML Minifier) I know this is complicated but would be very good ...

Removing whitespace is not too complicated, @orbital, but it hardly seems worth it to me. The tabs and character returns we use to make HTML more readable just don't add up to enough bytes to bother with.

@trendoman might have created something to minify HTML. I know he's messed around with a lot of different code for minification and optimization.

I think that enabling Gzip compression on the server would be the best way to optimize your HTML files. I use this method:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7661&p=13592#p13592

Hi Tim,
I'm already using your script and it's all right Thanks!

An interesting situation -
<cms:minify 'css' >
css/style2015.css

<cms:if this_is_main_index_page >
css/master_slide_for_main_page.css
</cms:if>
</cms:minify>

I think the idea is clear, but unfortunately this does not work - can something be done or is it impossible?
