    we don't have to do anything to our JS files right, except make sure all commands are ended by a semi-colon

    so mark any chance of using it here on the lussumo community?

    so it merges the files into one but doesn't compress them

    thats fine, it never was a size issue, just a number of connection thing

    Thanks ADM :-)

    @MySchizoBuddy: If you have gzip enable on your server, it will compress it. It can also minify the js files, but by default - for this first release -, it doesn't, since the files need to be tested.

    Fix two bugs that stopped in some case the merged files to cached on the server.

    If you are updating the patch, you will need to delete all the files in the js and css caches.

    Dino, came across this comment on ob_gzhandler at http://www.php.net/ob_gzhandler"

    ...caching of gzipped files is broken in all versions of MSIE. The following blog entry
    appears to declare that this has been fixed in IE7, but I haven't verified this.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/10/31/487509.aspx

    Do you know if this is indeed the case? If so, gzip compression should perhaps be disabled
    on IE to maximize the benefits of packing & local caching.

    After patching, I'm getting

    A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred
    Technical information (for support personel):

    Error Message
    Could not create the FilesToPack Table
    Affected Elements
    undefined.PackerInstaller();

    The error occurred on or near: Too big column length for column 'FilePath' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead

    line 437 of library/Framework/Framework.Class.PackManager.php, replace 'varchar(256)' by 'varchar(255)'. I am looking at it...

    @Tom, I will look at a solution.

    Hi Dinoboff!

    Great Work, thank you very much!

    But there are some problems with "bad behaving exensions":
    • BBInsertBar fails, because it uses the whole url for scripts and styles, giving this error:
      Warning: filemtime() [function.filemtime]: Stat failed for /home/www/colorful_sky_de/forum/http://www.colorful-sky.de/forum/extensions/BBInsertBar/style.css (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/www/colorful_sky_de/forum/library/Framework/Framework.Class.PackManager.php on line 225
    • Some extensions use relativ path to images in the style file (background-image: url(...);), this images can't be found when using your extensions. But this is a minor thing...
    Bye

    @ Tiggr: Thanks for BBInsertBar. Can you tell which extension use css background image? I try to list the extension that can't work with the packer.
    http://code.google.com/p/vanilla-packer/wiki/ExtensionsIssue

    @Tom: umm... so believing Microsoft, gzip encoded file are always cached in IE5 and IE6?
    I will try to check today.

    If you want to help for fixing bugs or update the wiki pages, you are welcome to join the project.

    >Can you tell which extension css background image?

    In my case, it was CategoryIcons, that used relative pathes
  • MySchizoBuddyMySchizoBuddy

    So now we have to move our images to the themes folder.?
    plus i fixed the packer based path in jqmedia. last time i updated it.
    the external.gif file in jqmedia isn't called from a style sheet.
  • TiggrTiggr

    Couldn't the the packer parse css for url(.+) and replace the path with the absolut path?

    Is there any way I can fix CategoryIcons to work with Packer?

    That's easy, just change the style file. ;-)

    Look for the parts with the image urls, and change them to the full pathes starting from webroot!

    I've tried adding $Configuration['WEB_ROOT'] to the image location in the stylesheet, but that looks like it isn't recognized.
  • DinoboffDinoboff

    You just need to copy the images into the style folder.
  • TiggrTiggr
    Posts: 182
    I would like to keep the images where they are!

    Of course not! There is no parsing or executing of php in styles!

    Just change the parts with url(images/misc.gif) to something like url(/forum/extensions/CategoryIcons/images/misc.gif). Please check for the right path on your server!

    Shouldn't you set a variable to equal...
    $Configuration['BASE_URL'].'extensions/CategoryIcons/images/misc.gif';

    Hi Wanderer!

    Would be very nice, but it's a style sheet, not php!
