Based on some feedback that I've gotten from the list (thanks all!),
I've added some new functionality and improved the existing.
NEW FEATURES
1. Added <r:stylesheet> and <r:javascript> tags for use in pages.
Based on the attributes, these tags will render:
* The url to a css or js file
* The content of a css or js file
* The content of a css or js file wrapped in the appropriate
<style> or <script> html tags.
2. Added <r:stylesheet> and <r:javascript> tags for use in your
stylesheets or javascripts -- and here's were it gets interesting
-- so that you can do asset packaging (reference all of your
javascripts or stylesheets in one main file to reduce server
requests and speed page load time).
What's really cool here is that the stylesheets and javascripts
now track their own dependencies so your files all report an
accurate LAST-MODIFIED date/time. This keeps your server from
having to re-serve your css and js files unless their content has
truly changed.
Fast page loads for visitors, reduced bandwidth and server
requirements for you!
WHY USE STYLES 'N SCRIPTS
John originally suggested this extension so that should be good enough
for you. But in case you're still wondering, this extension offers:
* Administrator or Developer permissions for accessing CSS or JS files
* Better caching for these files (their cache isn't flushed every 5
minutes like pages but, instead only when updates occur). So your
user's browser cache can go to work -- speeding page loads and
minimizing server hits.
* Separation of concerns - lets extensions that work with pages not
get tripped up by CSS and JS files (examples include keyword
searches that don't find text in your stylesheets, adding meta
keyword or descriptions to pages but not stylesheets, using
WYSIWYG or WYSIWYM editors like TinyMCE or FCKEditor to edit your
pages but not your css or js files. This also opens the door to
extensions aimed at working just with css or js files (look for
css & js minification coming soon).
* Declutter the Pages tree view. Now it only needs to show the
content - not the assets.
