As part of the SUMO productization, we will need to have a preference for enabling/disabling minify. Alternatively, we may choose to remove minify entirely.
This blocks bug 502087, not bug 502089. I'm assuming it was a typo. ;)

Minify should stay, but it absolutely needs caching. Otherwise, it's slower than before. If memcache isn't around, it should just cache in the filesystem.

Yes, I agree. Memcache > File cache > no cache (and without cache we might just as well remove it)
However, the cache part can all be done in the config file in webroot/minify.php (it's currently done for memcache only). It should be easy enough to update the main() function for the two cases. However, minify should be configured on a per-product basis anyway, so I say we shouldn't go that far with this bug.
We could have three options:
* enable (using memcache)
* enable (using file cache)
* disable
Sound good?
We also need to add a button for "purge minify cache".  (This is the part that annoys me the most :) )
Attached patch patch, v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Everything seems to be fine. The admin options to enable/disable minify have been placed on the "General" page (i.e. tiki-admin.php?locale=en-US&page=general)

I haven't been able to succesfully test the memcache flush, but it goes as far as calling flush() on the memcache object, so it should work. My cache just seemed to stay empty, but I'm sure that was me doing something wrong in testing :)

I have tested the file cache and it works great. No cache also works, and memcache works just as before. I'm sure this will need a ton of QA once landed, but it's exciting to have a "Purge cache" button!

Oh yeah, the source used for creating the patch is here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=362842&action=edit
Target Milestone: --- → 1.3
If the patch from bug 502245 gets an r+, which it may not, than this patch will need to be updated to use the new memcache tiki settings. This probably could be reassigned to me when it comes to that.
I agree. We can wait on your memcache patch first and go from there. The update for this would likely change:
* the action for "purge minify cache" and the changes for the cache library files (which added the flush() function)
* the location of the minify admin options (currently on the "general" page) if it doesn't follow Tiki practices
Note, just waiting on commit/QA of the memcache patch before I review this one.

patch, v1

This will need to be updated to play well with the memcache patch.

Reassigning to myself.

This needs to be applied after the memcache patch to be tested.

This didn't actually when memcache wasn't defined in local.php
v3 patch fixes that by placing the memcache options in the minify config

This needs to be enabled on tiki-admin.php?page=general
The conf file currently cannot be created. Filed bug 513413

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Whiteboard: enable pref
Depends on: 513413
Noting here that the code from tiki-admin_memcache.php that does the writing to minify.conf is not on the production server. I'm not sure why. Either way, we need to find a different implementation for this for our production servers.

little different way... So js at the bottom in one block, css loaded in
one go with minifying..."

LPH added an optional minify JS to Tiki. (Thanks!)

But no minify CSS yet
