tob47/magento-minify

Simply enables js and css minification

Introduction

WBL_Minify extension enables minification of magento css merged files and/or javascript merged files.
You can choose to use YUICompressor (included). In that case, be sure to have Java installed on your server and MAGE_ROOT_DIR/lib/YUICompressor.(-version-).jar executable.
Or you may prefer PHP Minifying classes (included).

PHP minifying libraries (Minify_Css_Compressor , JSMin) are taken from Stephen Clay's Minify project - http://code.google.com/p/minify/

Behaviour

This extension simply minifies css and javascript content before merged files are saved as in the normal magento behaviour.
No cache proxy server, or anything complicated : the simple genuine js and css magento browser cache behaviour, but with minified files ;)

Installation

Install with modgit:

$ cd /path/to/magento
$ modgit init
$ modgit -e README.md clone magento-minify git://github.com/azurams/Magento-Minify.git

or download package manually:

• Download latest version here
• Unzip in Magento root folder
• Clean cache

Log-out then Log-in in magento backend, go to System > Configuration > Developer > Minification Settings. Then flush media/js and media/css files... and that's it !
