Usage: the .htaccess way¶

Use this method if you want all your css and js files processed by SmartOptimizer

Add this at the end of your .htaccess :

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
  <FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt|ico)$">
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years"
  </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*\.(js|css))$ assets/components/smartoptimizer/connector.php?$1
  <IfModule mod_expires.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.(js|css|html?|xml|txt))$ assets/components/smartoptimizer/connector.php?$1
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule !mod_expires.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt|ico))$ assets/components/smartoptimizer/connector.php?$1
  </IfModule>
</IfModule>
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt|ico)$">
  FileETag none
</FilesMatch>

If you enabled friendly URLs, add also :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(\.css)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(\.js)$

Before :

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Finally, call your stylesheets and scripts this way :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/file1.css,file2.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/file1.css,file2.css"/>
