The files in this directory represent the default Minify setup designed to ease
|
|
integration with your site. This app will combine and minify your Javascript or
|
|
CSS files and serve them with HTTP compression and cache headers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RECOMMENDED
|
|
|
|
It's recommended to edit config.php to set $min_cachePath to a writeable
|
|
(by PHP) directory on your system. This will improve performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
GETTING STARTED
|
|
|
|
The quickest way to get started is to use the Minify URI Builder application
|
|
on your website: http://example.com/min/builder/
|
|
|
|
|
|
MINIFYING A SINGLE FILE
|
|
|
|
Let's say you want to serve this file:
|
|
http://example.com/wp-content/themes/default/default.css
|
|
|
|
Here's the "Minify URL" for this file:
|
|
http://example.com/min/?f=wp-content/themes/default/default.css
|
|
|
|
In other words, the "f" argument is set to the file path from root without the
|
|
initial "/". As CSS files may contain relative URIs, Minify will automatically
|
|
"fix" these by rewriting them as root relative.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMBINING MULTIPLE FILES IN ONE DOWNLOAD
|
|
|
|
Separate the paths given to "f" with commas.
|
|
|
|
Let's say you have CSS files at these URLs:
|
|
http://example.com/scripts/jquery-1.2.6.js
|
|
http://example.com/scripts/site.js
|
|
|
|
You can combine these files through Minify by requesting this URL:
|
|
http://example.com/min/?f=scripts/jquery-1.2.6.js,scripts/site.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
SIMPLIFYING URLS WITH A BASE PATH
|
|
|
|
If you're combining files that share the same ancestor directory, you can use
|
|
the "b" argument to set the base directory for the "f" argument. Do not include
|
|
the leading or trailing "/" characters.
|
|
|
|
E.g., the following URLs will serve the exact same content:
|
|
http://example.com/min/?f=scripts/jquery-1.2.6.js,scripts/site.js,scripts/home.js
|
|
http://example.com/min/?b=scripts&f=jquery-1.2.6.js,site.js,home.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
MINIFY URLS IN HTML
|
|
|
|
In (X)HTML files, don't forget to replace any "&" characters with "&".
|
|
|
|
|
|
SPECIFYING ALLOWED DIRECTORIES
|
|
|
|
By default, Minify will serve any *.css/*.js files within the DOCUMENT_ROOT. If
|
|
you'd prefer to limit Minify's access to certain directories, set the
|
|
$min_serveOptions['minApp']['allowDirs'] array in config.php. E.g. to limit
|
|
to the /js and /themes/default directories, use:
|
|
|
|
$min_serveOptions['minApp']['allowDirs'] = array('//js', '//themes/default');
|
|
|
|
|
|
GROUPS: FASTER PERFORMANCE AND BETTER URLS
|
|
|
|
For the best performance, edit groupsConfig.php to pre-specify groups of files
|
|
to be combined under preset keys. E.g., here's an example configuration in
|
|
groupsConfig.php:
|
|
|
|
return array(
|
|
'js' => array('//js/Class.js', '//js/email.js')
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
This pre-selects the following files to be combined under the key "js":
|
|
http://example.com/js/Class.js
|
|
http://example.com/js/email.js
|
|
|
|
You can now serve these files with this simple URL:
|
|
http://example.com/min/?g=js
|
|
|
|
|
|
GROUPS: SPECIFYING FILES OUTSIDE THE DOC_ROOT
|
|
|
|
In the groupsConfig.php array, the "//" in the file paths is a shortcut for
|
|
the DOCUMENT_ROOT, but you can also specify paths from the root of the filesystem
|
|
or relative to the DOC_ROOT:
|
|
|
|
return array(
|
|
'js' => array(
|
|
'//js/file.js' // file within DOC_ROOT
|
|
,'//../file.js' // file in parent directory of DOC_ROOT
|
|
,'C:/Users/Steve/file.js' // file anywhere on filesystem
|
|
)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
|
|
FAR-FUTURE EXPIRES HEADERS
|
|
|
|
Minify can send far-future (one year) Expires headers. To enable this you must
|
|
add a number to the querystring (e.g. /min/?g=js&1234 or /min/f=file.js&1234)
|
|
and alter it whenever a source file is changed. If you have a build process you
|
|
can use a build/source control revision number.
|
|
|
|
If you serve files as a group, you can use the utility function Minify_groupUri()
|
|
to get a "versioned" Minify URI for use in your HTML. E.g.:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
// add /min/lib to your include_path first!
|
|
require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/min/utils.php';
|
|
|
|
$jsUri = Minify_groupUri('js');
|
|
echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='{$jsUri}'></script>";
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEBUG MODE
|
|
|
|
In debug mode, instead of compressing files, Minify sends combined files with
|
|
comments prepended to each line to show the line number in the original source
|
|
file. To enable this, set $min_allowDebugFlag to true in config.php and append
|
|
"&debug=1" to your URIs. E.g. /min/?f=script1.js,script2.js&debug=1
|
|
|
|
Known issue: files with comment-like strings/regexps can cause problems in this mode.
