Minify css,js maybe php

Post by anze »

It would be great to have a tool that minifies css or js, if possible also php code :) And also unminify. Sometimes you have minified css file, and its pain to change it - so a click on a button that does that for you is really appreciated :) Something like code compressor or obfuscation with user salt. But that is whole diffrent request :)

Hi,

You can already do CSS code, from the CSS menu select Compress CSS Code right near the bottom.

There are options for format PHP & JavaScript code (look in the Script menu), but not to compress/minify.

Thanks for pointing out the CSS minify feature. Well handy. That's exactly the sort of improvement that's really useful.

Recently started using WeBuilder to replace Homesite because of non-existent licensing (one client requirement for me is to use licensed software on their boxes) to and UTF-8 problems.

After 15 years of Homesite and a good deal of keyboard shortcut remapping in WeBuilder to match Homesite as close as possible I'm about 90% happy, but there's a few things that really bug me -

HTML comments insisting on inserting newlines before/after content
The FTP explorer - constantly having to navigate up and down - why can't it be the same as the Project/Folders Explorer (like Homesite) ???
Bookmarks don't wrap

Might get around to requesting closer functionality to Homesite - I know so many people using it who know they need to move on - bit like an old dog. You know you should put it down but you can't...

I've seen few requests about minify. It would be interesting to see when this is implemented in the future versions.

The CSS compressor in WeBuilder isn't great unfortunately. I would love to see the YUI compressor used as the engine within WeBuilder, this is widely regarded as the best CSS compressor (it's free and opensource too):
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

Interestingly they don't have a web interface for compressing the files, so having it built in to WeBuilder would be very useful. A former Yahoo! engineer built a web front-end for it though which you can use for free.
