rvm_css (v0.5)
This plugin automatically stores a copy of your style sheet(s) as a static file. Static files are served several orders of magnitude faster than PHP files (200 times faster, in my own tests on a FastCGI-based server).
I originally wrote this plugin for a website that had two style sheets for every page (one for printing) and the built-in method of serving both style sheets cost as much CPU time and memory as serving the page itself. The server load for this website was reduced by 50% after using this plugin.
Changelog:
- version 0.1 (2007-06-11) [never released]
- version 0.2 (2008-01-01)
- file name sanitized
- deleting a style sheet deletes the corresponding static file
- degrade gracefully if static file cannot be stored or read
- save style sheet in all situations (not just when saving an existing raw css file)
- version 0.3 (2008-01-02)
- return stylesheet url when format attribute is not set to ‘link’ (didn’t work before)
- do not force the use of ‘default’ style sheet on 404 error page
- version 0.4 (2008-12-20)
- use correct CSS content when copying or saving a new style sheet (thanks Maniqui/Julián)
- version 0.5 (2009-12-19)
- compatible with future versions of TXP that may not use base64 encoding anymore when storing the style sheet in the database.

Genius. Nice one, Ruud. I wonder if stm_javascript can be given the same treatment?

Re: rvm_css (v0.5)
Thanks for this Rudd… but having a small problem getting it to work with a template by Reid…
Plugin is installed, activated, and the css files have been created.
This is what is currently in the page head referring to css:
bc..
<style type=“text/css” media=“screen”>
@import url(”<txp:css n=“grs1_primary” />”);
</style>
<txp:hide> —————————————————————————————-
Conditional comment to serve style sheet to IE 6.0 and under
————————————————————————————— </txp:hide>
<!—[if lt IE 7]>
<style type=“text/css” media=“screen”>
@import url(”<txp:css n=“grs1_ie” />”);
</style>
<![endif]—>
Simply replacing the <txp:css with your tag doesn’t work – I end up with no css being used at all.
Can you explain what I’m doing wrong?
Many thanks

Fantastic plugin! Thanks Ruud. Any chance of expanding this to the JS files in stm_javascript?
