[_CONEJO]

To all theme developers out there, a small tip making your theme load a little faster. Whole explanation at the wiki : http://wiki.osclass.org/index.php/Combine_.js_and_.css_files_to_make_OSClass_load_faster


Any doubts or question could be placed here.

This is good, i must say it increases load speed but also codding speed, including extra javascript and css files is a lot more simple!

Only issue would be we would use chrome developer extensions and locating a certain line in JS and CSS is now a little harder as its always bring up the wrong line number ! But apart from this its perfect!

Hi bilekas,

That could be a problem, but it could be done in the last step, once the theme is finished...

I think that also Chrome offer you he possibility to "follow" the code, If you click or doubleclick on the error, it send you directly to that line of code (on the combined file) which doesn't solve the issue but could help you know the real location of it.
This also happen if you use "minified" versions of the scripts...

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo osc_current_web_theme_url('combine.php?type=js&files=js/jquery.js,js/jquery-ui.js,js/jquery.uniform.js,js/global.js,js/tabber-minimized.js') ; ?>"></script>

What is the exact problem?

It could be that your folder is not writable or you don't have enough permission to write the file

Hi. I have gone through this link http://wiki.osclass.org/index.php/Combine_.js_and_.css_files_to_make_OSClass_load_faster but I would like to know whether there is a step by step tutorial about this. If there is one, please direct me to it or if there isn't, I hope someone will be kind enough to share.

Should I add the bellow line in each and every PHP file?

For JS loading:
