Page History

...

• Concatenation and Minification techniques for css and js files.
  • The IncludePageMeta has been extended to generate URL's to the concatenated version of all css files using the same media tag.
  • The ConcatenationReader has been created to return concatenated and minified versions of the css and js files.
  • Once js and css files have been minified and concatenated, they are being properly cached. As a result, the minification and concatenation operations only need to happen once, and do not include performance overhead.
  • Caution: when minification is enabled, all code-comments will be removed. This could be a problem for comments containing copyright notices, so for files with those comments you should disable minification by adding '?nominify' after the url e.g.
    <map:parameter name="javascript" value="lib/js/jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js?nominify"/>
    
  • Disabled by default, these features need to be enabled in the configuration using the properties 'xmlui.theme.enableConcatenation' and 'xmlui.theme.enableMinification'
  • These features can be enabled for other themes as well, but will require an alteration of the theme's sitemap.
• Javascript references are included at the bottom of the page instead of the top. This optimizes page load times in general.
