filemtime returns false because one of the files was probably not found in which case groupsConfig.php throws an exception.

to find out which files cause this problem, have a look inside your yii application log. minScript logs any errors in there. can you please post the minScript log messages here so i can have a look?

I traced it to some kind of problem with filemtime which is returning false in IIS and so groupsConfig.php throws an internal server error. Not sure why filemtime returns false.

Hey Fábio

thank you very much!

Looks like Galleria doesn't behave good when combined into one file. To fix this temporarily, include following file manually in your view:
/assets/themes/classic/galleria.classic.min.js

There will be a new function in the next minScript version which will allow you to exclude certain files from being processed.

Hi,

Gratz on great extension, really improve overall performance on site.
But in my project, I'm using yii galleria extension and when including minScript extension, galleria doesn't render. in my page test, the images show briefly on load, without the galleria, and disappear after. No errors showing in firebug and looking at source code the galleria scripts are included. I'm using several other yii extensions and no problem came up. Egmap and tinymce as example, rendered ok.
Can't find what the problem is. Hope you can help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Nice extension, but I'm facing problems with CSS images. My project uses Bootstrap framework which provides a icon set and classes to use that icons. When I turn on the minScript extension the images are not displayed. Looking the generated css code I found:

- minScript OFF: background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings.png");
- minscript ON: background-image: url("/myproject/protected/extensions/bootstrap/assets/img/glyphicons-halflings.png");


The same happens with the header background image of the default GridView componente:

- minScript OFF: background: url("bg.gif") repeat-x scroll left top white;
- minscript ON: background: url("/yii/framework/zii/widgets/assets/gridview/bg.gif") repeat-x scroll left top white;

Is this a expected behavior? The folders generated by minScript are denied by Yii .htaccess file. What am I doing wrong?

Thank u.

Hi, thanks for this great extension, but it's not working in my case.

For some reasons that 2 serve.js are generated. They are not same but keeps giving me errors like

TypeError: jQuery(...).tooltip is not a function
	

jQuery('a[rel="tooltip"]').tooltip();

Here is my config...anything wrong?

Thanks so much for this!

I am new to yii framework. I have around 40 js files which i need to compress to one file and send it to the browser. I read the documentation but not able to figure out how to make it work.
I have saved the extension in the extension directory and then loaded in the main config file.

• Where should i list all the files that i want to compress.
  
• I want compressed file to be loaded in the index page.
  
• Where should i call the link to the compressed file.

Also what is the path to the compressed file.

Thanks

I tried running it and i get the error

Hi,

I'm new to Yii so I installed minScript successfully and it works well. But I want to minify the CSS/script only in production version. Because it might be easier to develop the website.
My question is How do I disable minScript extension in development version?

Thanks In Advance !

You can set minScriptDebug to true in your development version settings.
or you can just specify default clientScript component in your dev application config (main.php).

Hi,

In our web application we have continous integration. So new version deployment is controlled by utilities in which we can make system tasks. In this application we have lots of scripts, they can be, and mostly is, dynamic per controller, so when min script minifies for the first time it does its job quite long (2-5 seconds). That's normal I think, but the question is about minScriptLmCache. It is not possible to do unlimited cache, so I'm thinking about setting value to some week or month, to minscript hold it in cache for a long period. I've set cache to CMemCache and after new version deployment I'm clearing memcache. So is this strategy correct, or it could have some unexpected issues?
Maybe its better to keep cache in APC (I clear apc cache on deployment too)?

And one more question: In this app we have two JS files who are generated by controllers. Simply there are dynamic info (based on locale) and we pass data from php to js in a such way. Of course js minifier cannot find these files and dies, as they are /index.php?r=module/main/locale&locale=en in such form. What can you suggest at such situations? Also, this file needs to be included at certain position, so minified js file could get variables from this script.

Hey Arivan Bastos

I tried to reproduce the described problem with the default GridView component but the URLs inside the CSS files were all good. Now, the default Yii behavior would be to publish all the required files as assets in which case everything should just work automatically. Did you change something regarding that behavior? Are your CSS files inside a symlinked directory?

1. You don't have to explicitly list any files. All files registered with CClientScript (Yii::app() -> clientScript -> registerScriptFile() and Yii::app() -> clientScript -> registerCssFile()) are automatically compressed, combined and minified.
2. You need to register the files either inside you view files (http://www.yiiframew.../en/basics.view) for your index page or inside the action for your index page (http://www.yiiframew...ntroller#action) depending on what you are using and in which context
3. There won't be a compressed file, everything is taken care of for you when you use registerScriptFile()/registerCssFile()

you are trying to use old minScript methods which were available before version 2.0 but are not anymore in the newest version. please read the wiki page which has new usage examples

Hey hemc

500 errors are usually a sign of wrong URLs/paths passed to minScript. please check your yii application log for further information on what is going on, any minScript errors will be logged there.

1. please do as advised above to check why registerScriptFile() is not working
2. if you are using minScriptCreateGroup() multiple times it will create multiple groups. are you passing an array of multiple file paths to minScriptCreateGroup()?

most likely, you are passing wrong paths to minScriptCreateGroup() or wrong URLs to Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile()

please check that those are correct: minScriptCreateGroup() needs file system paths while registerCssFile() needs correct URLs

The 2-5 second delay you see on initial page load is normal since minScript generates all the content and then caches it.

minScriptLmCache does not control how long minScript output is cached but rather how long last modified timestamps of files should be cached. While this is all connected, the output cache should not expire until one of the files changes. So while yes, you could set minScriptLmCache to a very high number, you should not have to since the output cache will only be recreated if one of the files changes.

You can use both, MemCache or APC, neither is better than the other when it comes to minScript caching.

handling of dynamic content has been a topic for a while, but as of right now there is no way to process dynamic content with minScript. Since minScript caches everything, depending on how dynamic the content is, it would not work very well anyways. I suggest you just exclude the dynamic files in minScript by using ExtMinScript::$minScriptUrlMap (this is a new feature in version 2.2, you can find more infos here: https://bitbucket.or...i/Configuration)

let me know if you have any more questions...
