hehe, tired enough to post the same message twice eh?

@dhrup i have something special up my sleeve, but you need to skype me a reminder

Hey Drup, Check this out. here.  I am trying to use this from last night lot of people speed up their site by using this please check this I am sure you will definately find something from it .

There is a script which combines the js and css and then compress to make page loader faster.and they use .htaccess to rewrite it.

LIke:-

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^css/(.*\.css) /combine.php?type=css&files=$1
RewriteRule ^javascript/(.*\.js) /combine.php?type=javascript&files=$1

and in script they define path like.

$cache 	  = true;
	$cachedir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/cache';
	$cssdir   = dirname(__FILE__) . '/css';
	$jsdir    = dirname(__FILE__) . '/javascript';
please share with us if you find it works with elgg.
Thanks

@GH Can you post some more detailed code examples plz thx..

@dhrup Click on here on my last post or this is a site url where this thing is explainde with more detailed. amd combine.php file is also available to download.

Full code is here

<?php
	$cache 	  = true;
	$cachedir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/cache';

			exit;
	};

			header ("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
			exit;	
		}

		if (substr($path, 0, strlen($base)) != $base || !file_exists($path)) {
			header ("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
			exit;
		}

		$lastmodified = max($lastmodified, filemtime($path));
	}

	// Send Etag hash
	$hash = $lastmodified . '-' . md5($_GET['files']);
	header ("Etag: \"" . $hash . "\"");

	if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_NONE_MATCH']) &&

		if ($cache) {
			if ($fp = fopen($cachedir . '/' . $cachefile, 'wb')) {
				fwrite($fp, $contents);
				fclose($fp);
			}
		}
	}	

And here is code for garbage collector which need to add at the bottom of this script.

// garbage collector deletes old version from cache
$dh = opendir($cachedir);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
if ($filename == ‘.’ || $filename == ‘..’)
continue;
if (strpos($filename,”-”.$md5_file_list) && $filename != $cachefile)
unlink($cachedir.’/’.$filename);
}

@ dhrup any updates please..

me too, wanna know if anyone make a progress on this idea !!

there is a minify plugin in the repository. ;)
