Depending on the rest of your site, the difference in latency between the CDN
request and a request to your server is probably so minimal compared to the
overall load time it really isn’t worth it, especially when you consider that
it’s being cached by the browser.
In any case, fusebox.head.addCSS is meant for accessing *local* files. I guess
that method must have changed between v4.5 and v5, because as it is now it
would never work.
If you are always loading that css, there is no point in using
fusebox.head.addCSS, just put it directly in the <head> of the layout. If you
are only loading that css in certain circuits, then you should still probably
put it in the layout, but put surround it with a test for the circuit (check
$fusebox{“circuit”}).
Otherwise, if you’re determined to use fusebox.head.addCSS for an external
stylesheet, you have to do it like this:
fusebox.head.addCSS($fusebox; "!<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"
href=\"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap3-dialog/1.35.4/css/bootstrap-dialog.min.css\
<https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap3-dialog/1.35.4/css/bootstrap-dialog.min.css%5C>"
/>")
