aks_header : Compress your pages on the fly. Strip white spaces + gzip

nabrown78 · 2009-10-01 16:11:07

If you have Firefox, install the addon webdeveloper toolbar.
If installed you will find in the toolbar under »information« the last point »Show Response Header«. If you find a Content-Encoding: gzip in the output, so gzipping is enabled.

Very cool! Yet another feature of the Web Developer toolbar that I hadn’t discovered.

I’m just now getting hip to the whole speed optimizing/gzip thing. I see that when mod_gzip isn’t available, aks_header is an excellent alternative for gzipping your html. Any recommendations on combining/gzipping multiple css and javascript files? In general I don’t manage my css through Textpattern’s Style tab, just keep it external.

Thanks for everyone’s help.

Thanks I just found that handy tool. I also came across this post about combining and gzipping css and js on this forum. The page it refers to seems to present a good option for those of us who don’t have mod_gzip available.

Am I correct in my assumption that aks301 can only forward to a specific page?

What I am needing is the ability to forward an old section to a new section…

ie… section “blog” is changing to section “news”… I need

http://www.domain.com/blog/blog-title

forwarded to…

http://www.domain.com/news/blog-title

Is there a way aks301 can do this that I am missing?
If I am correct in my assumption can y’all think of a plugin that will do this?

thanks!

upgrade plugin to 0.3.4a, and try it

<txp:aks_301 start="/blog/(.*)$" url="http://www.domain.com/news/$1" />

Other sample:
http://www.domain.com/blog/some-text/blog-title
forwarded to…
http://www.domain.com/news/blog-title/some-text

<txp:aks_301 start="/blog/(.*?)/(.*)$" url="http://www.domain.com/news/$2/$1" />

.

New version aks_header 0.3.4a

Added mask for redirect in aks_301 tag

Thank you very much! It looks like it will fit the bill perfectly.

I’m getting back to my main project after a side trip, so I’ll install and try this out.

Update

It’s not working for me at the moment. I’m going to check with my sysadmin to see if anything he implemented may be conflicting before taking the next step.

Hi makss,

Just found some weird output on a site where I was using this great plugin. It seems to be stripping whitespace from inside <pre> blocks so they lose their formatting a little. e.g. instead of rendering:

<pre><code>my
multiline
</code>
<code>code block
</code>
<code>with
</code>
<code>a couple of
</code>
<code>rows
</code></pre>

I get:

<pre><code>my
multiline
</code> <code>code block
</code> <code>with
</code> <code>a couple of
</code> <code>rows
</code></pre>

Which renders differently in the browser. Anything I can do to get round this? If I use nostrip="pre" it renders fine but if I use nostrip="pre,code" or leave it as default, it doesn’t. Any ideas?

makss · 2010-07-28 12:04:00

Bloke, thanks for feedback. Now this bug fixed. :)

New version aks_header 0.3.6

Fixed bug in strip function.

Maybe I’m not using this in the way it was intended or possibly just plain wrong but what I want it to do is redirect the main /subscribe page to a different url (which works great) but any other existing pages should not be redirected.

<txp:aks_301 start="/subscribe" ignore="/subscribe/" url="/members/signup.php" />

This produces the correct behavior for url.com/subscribe (redirects) and url.com /subscribe/ (doesn’t redirect) but not for url.com/subscribe/policies (redirects this page)

I’ve eve tried this (ignoring a specific already existing url) but it still redirects the policies page:

<txp:aks_301 start="/subscribe" ignore="/subscribe/policies" url="/members/signup.php" />

Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?

Edit — it appears to have been a weird caching issue, not sure if it was my browser or Textpattern, but it’s resolved itself and the <txp:aks_301 start="/subscribe" ignore="/subscribe/" url="/members/signup.php" /> is working as expected.

Not sure if it fits here but is there a way to properly do a 301 redirect from www to non-www with textpattern?
If I change my .htaccess I get weird results like index.php getting added to the url.

doesn’t fit in this thread:) Did you try…

# Redirect www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

or

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your-site.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301]

element · 2010-10-19 08:57:40

Of course I tried. Why does index.php get added when it converts from www to no www?

Don’t want to hijack the thread, so I started a new one here: http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=34809
