Luke Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It is actually quite helpful to optimize the CSS on a skin. But it sucks when you loose the human readable version. It would be neat if IPB used the human readable version as an "editable copy" and optimized the CSS in the cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 This is a good idea :) Although it's not a wonderful solution right now, there is a way you could do it for skins you've already installed. Open the css_*.css file, run it through the compressor and save it, that will give you a small version that will be loaded on board pages. Because the CSS editor in the acp uses the database version, that will still be human-readable (but when you make any changes, the cached file will revert to its full size, so just repeat the compression).Obviously for this to work, you have to have enabled 'cache to css file' in the skin options.

Luke Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ah I hadn't thought about saving it in the cached file directly. I just did it through ACP and backed it up the original on my hard drive.But as I had to use a third party tool to optimize it, it would be neat if IPB automatically optimized it when cached to a file :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct2·com Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 +1It used to be a feature in IP.Board that the CSS was optimised during the process of building the cache. I'd like to see that reintroduced into the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
