Registry for managing CSS and JS
Project description
Overview
A registry for linked Stylesheet and Javascript files.
This registry is mainly aimed at solving the following usecases:
Enable product authors to register stylesheets with their product installers without having to resort to override either header.pt or ploneCustom.css creating potential conflicts with other products.
Enable more componentialization of the stylesheets provided with Plone (and other products) without having to increase the number of http requests for a Plone page.
Enable condition checking on stylesheets. Great for variable look-and-feel for groups/roles/folders/departments/content-types/etc
Enable inline dynamic stylesheets. For those style rules that should vary for each request. Mainly used for things like header-bar- backgroundimages, department colors etc.
Enable developers to activate/deactivate their styles in a simpler way
Enable compression to safe bandwidth and download time
Usage
The CSSRegistry and JSRegistry are configured through the ZMI. They can be found in the ZMI of your plonesite as ‘portal_css’ and ‘portal_javascript’.
Add links to stylesheets that exist in your skins paths, by ids; like ‘plone.css’, ‘ploneCustom.css’ etc.
Linked stylesheets take some parameters:
id – The id mentioned above. the Zope id of the stylesheet to be used.
expression – A CMF expression to be evaluated to check if the stylesheet should be included in output or not.
authenticated – Restrict the resource to authenticated users. If this is set, the expression is not evaluated.
conditionalcomment – A small string to be included in a conditional comment around the resource. For example, entering simply ‘IE’ in the field will result in a conditional comment of: <!–[if IE]>…<![endif]–> This behavior is currently only enabled for the CSS Registry. For more information see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512.aspx
media – The media for which the stylesheet should apply, normally empty or ‘all’. other possible values are ‘screen’, ‘print’ etc.
rel – Link relation. defaults to ‘stylesheet’, and should almost always stay that way. For designating alternative stylesheets.
title – the title for alternate stylesheets
rendering – How to link the stylesheet from the html page:
‘import’ - the default. normal css import
- ‘link’ - works better for old browsers and is needed for alternate
stylesheets
- ‘inline’ - render the stylesheet inline instead of linking it
externally. Shouldn’t be used at all! It isn’t possible to create sites which validate if you do. For more information see: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Using_CSS_and_JavaScript_in_XHTML_Documents
compression – Whether and how much the resource should be compressed:
‘none’ - the original content will not be changed
- ‘safe’ - the content will be compressed in a way which should be safe
for any workarounds for browser bugs. Conditional code for Internet Explorer is preserved since ResourceRegistries 1.2.3 and 1.3.1.
- ‘full’ - the content will be compressed with some additional rules.
For css all comments and most newlines are removed, this may break special browser hacks, so use with care. For javascript this encodes variables with special prefixes according to the rules described here (Special Characters): http://dean.edwards.name/packer/usage/ The source code needs to be written according to those rules, otherwise it’s more than likely that it will break.
‘safe-encode’ - only available for javascript
- ‘full-encode’ - only available for javascript
Additionally encodes keywords. This heavily compresses the javascript, but it needs to be decoded on the fly in the browser on each load. Depending on the size of the scripts this could lead to timeouts in Firefox. Use with special care!
If several stylesheets listed directly after each other in the registry have the same parameters and expression, they will be concatenated into a larger, composite, stylesheet on rendering. - This can be useful for splitting stylesheets into smaller components for overrideing, while preserving cacheability and minimising the number of http-requests to Plone.
This tool was started at the excellent SnowSprint 2005 - Organised by Telesis in the Austrian Alps. Thanks, Jodok! :)

Changelog
2.0b2 - 2010-01-24
Apply a marker interface ICookedFile to the files created on the fly for cooked/concatenated resources returned by ResourceRegistries. This makes it easier to detect these for caching purposes and treat them differently to in-ZODB files, which may also be instances of OFS.Image.File. [optilude]
2.0b1 - 2009-12-27
Marked zope.component as a real dependency of this package. [hannosch]
2.0a2 - 2009-12-20
Cleaned up some old charset related fallback code. [hannosch]
Changed the development mode to be a non-persistent setting. By default it follows the Zope development mode (bin/instance fg vs. bin/instance console). The setting can be changed during process runtime. [hannosch]
2.0a1 - 2009-11-16
Declare ‘screen’ to be the default for the media attribute instead of None. It is the most commonly used one in Plone’s own themes. [hannosch]
Fixed typo in update process of authenticated resources. Fixes #9599 [naro]
Fixed JS packer to be a little less greedy about protecting regular expressions. This fixes #8790. [dunlapm]
Changed the order of CSS/JS rendering, CSS now renders first to allow the browser to get it as soon as possible, to avoid the “flash of unstyled content” [limi]
Removed some whitespace in the rendering templates for JS, CSS and KSS to make the source rendering more readable. These are very small and understandable templates, so we’d rather have some noise there than on the front end. [limi]
Removed the autogroupingmode feature. In practice it turned out to work not so well and caused hard to debug problems. [hannosch]
Automatically set the registries into development mode if Zope itself runs in development mode. [hannosch]
Get the tests working again under Plone 5 and make sure we handle zope.app.publisher file resources correctly under repoze.zope2. [hannosch]
Added missing InitializeClass call for BaseRegistryTool. [davisagli]
Changed default values for resources to more sensible values. [hannosch]
Restructured documentation files. [hannosch]
Added authenticated as a new option to all resources. If a resource is marked this way, it will only be shown for authenticated users. This makes the most common use-case of restricting resources to logged-in users easier and allows to optimize the internal API for speed for this use-case. An expression on a resource is ignored if the authenticated flag is set. [hannosch]
Removed BBB imports and code. We require Zope 2.12 now. [hannosch]
Handle a missing portal_kss tool gracefully in the kineticstylesheets viewlet. [hannosch]
Added BBB imports to make sure the InitializeClass can be imported in Zope versions before 2.12. [hannosch]
Avoid dependency on the zope.app.zapi package. [hannosch]
Declare package dependencies, fixed deprecation warnings for use of Globals and changed error raising to be forward compatible. [hannosch]
Change the fix for #7522 made in 1.4.3. For inline resources we pass Unicode down into the page templates. The TAL machinery expects to get Unicode and not encoded strings. [hannosch]
1.5.3 - 2009-05-17
Allow setting of debug mode in registries through Generic Setup profiles. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8712 [dunlapm]
Fixed error with inline z3resources not being able to handle a POST request. This fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8998 [dunlapm]
1.5.2 - 2009-04-21
Fixed error with the conditional comment being lost when adding a new Resource when adding a new entry to the JS or CSS registries. [dunlapm]
Fixed error with GS Export/Import. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9154 [dunlapm]
1.5.1 - 2009-04-14
Put CDATA start and end markers in a javascript comment. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9128 [wichert]
1.5.0 - 2009-03-01
Removed the uppermost Save button from the ZMI pages for registries. Clicking this button before the registry page has finished loading could lead to data loss. [dunlapm, fschulze]
Resources beginning with “http://” or “https://” are now valid and may be included as resources. Registries will automatically disable merging, caching, compression, and inline rendering of external resources. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8312 [dunlapm, fschulze]
Added option to have a conditional comment attached to a given resource. Currently the UI only supports this behavior with the CSS and JavaScript Registries, but the underpinnings for the KSS registry is in place. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5521 [dunlapm, fschulze]
Do not try to export the cooked_expression into the GenericSetup profiles. It is only an internal optimization and the value is reflected in the expression value. [hannosch]
Store the cooked expressions as a real persistent expression object, instead of compiling the expression on every view. [hannosch]
Added ‘context’ as an alias for ‘object’ in action expressions. [davisagli, hannosch]
1.4.3
Fixed error where non-traversable resources could be registered. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8153 [dunlapm]
Ensure that resources can be removed in xml. [maurits]
Purge old zope2 Interface interfaces for Zope 2.12 compatibility. [elro]
Encode inline resources using the site encoding. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7522 [wichert]
Fixed potential Acquisition problems in viewlets. [hannosch]
1.4.2
Properly encode the resource id. This fixes moving of resource without JS and removing recources which contain special chars like plus signs. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7482 [fschulze]
Revert part of r7143: returning NotFound from a API call is never the right thing to do since it makes the publisher show a object-not-found page, hiding the real error. Restore the old behaviour and raise a ValueError instead. This fixes mysterious not-found errors from GenericSetup imports. [wichert]
Support Z3 template resources (not just file and image resources). [mj]
1.4.1
Added ‘/’ to the strings that are filtered out in BaseRegistry.generateId(). This fixes #7048. [davconvent]
1.4.0
Add support for automatic grouping mode to the GenericSetup export/import code. [wichert]
1.4.0-rc1
Added a new automatic grouping mode feature. It is turned off by default. When enabled the resources will first be sorted into groups with the same merging-relevant settings and after that merged. In the groups the order of the resources in the registries will be preserved. [hannosch]
Changed the exportimport handlers to only cook the resources once at the end and not after each new resource has been added. [hannosch]
1.4.0-beta5
Fixed setting of cache headers when the registry is associated with a RAMCache. [fschulze]
1.4.0-beta4
Switched back to getToolByName. [wichert]
Added portal_kss as registry for kss files. [fschulze]
Slightly optimized the viewlet manager templates. [hannosch]
1.4.0-beta3
Replace usage of getToolByNames with getUtility. [wichert, hannosch]
1.4.0-beta2
Reverted fix of tests, because Zope was wrong. [fschulze]
1.4.0-beta1
Fixed test failures caused by changes in Zope 2.10. [fschulze]
Ported bugfixes from 1.3 line. [fschulze]
1.4.0-alpha2
Started to use views and viewlet managers. [fschulze]
Removed compatibility stuff for Plone version lower than 3.0. [fschulze]
1.3.8
Cook resources after GS profile import. [fschulze]
Added missing enabled property handling to updateScript. [fschulze]
Fixed typo which prevented position-after/insert-after in GS profiles to work. [fschulze]
1.3.7
For compatibility with GenericSetup conventions, the import steps now support ‘insert-before’ and ‘insert-after’ as aliases for ‘position-before’ and ‘position-after’, while ‘insert-top’ and ‘insert-bottom’ are aliases for ‘position-top’ and ‘position-bottom’, respectively. [mj]
1.3.6
Invalidate cache when cooking resources if the registry is assigned to a RAMCache or similar cache manager.
Fixed string replacement during packing when several resources got packed in different threads at once, which resulted in exchanged strings. [fschulze]
1.3.5
Fixed string protection for strings which mix single and double quotes. [fschulze]
Made packer.py usable as a standalone commandline tool. [fschulze]
Fixed several issues in ‘full’ compression. [fschulze]
Extended the GenericSetup import step to support positioning of resources: the ‘position-before’ and ‘position-after’ attributes cause the resource to be positioned before or after resource named in the attribute. ‘position-top’ and ‘position-bottom’ move a resource to the top or bottom. [mj]
1.3.4
Improved IE conditional compilation protection, it now works in “full” compression. [fschulze]
Improved regular expression for strings. [fschulze]
Fixed order of oneline and multiline comment removal in javascript packer. [fschulze]
Fixed validation warning about multiple comments when rendering resources inline. [fschulze]
Made css “full” packing more aggressive. [fschulze]
Cleaned up testing framework and made all tests run properly. [fschulze, hannosch]
1.3.3
Don’t wrap None in aquisition wrapper if resource is not found. [tesdal]
1.3.2
Made GenericSetup importer not fail on repeated imports. [alecm]
Made enabled checkbox work again. [fschulze]
1.3.1
Enable use of z3 / Five resources. [ree]
Mark missing or unaccessible ressources in management screens. [fschulze]
Moved ‘enabled’ checkbox into legend before ‘id’ textbox. [fschulze]
Don’t remove conditional compile instructions for IE from javascripts. [fschulze]
Fixed error when content is unicode. [rocky]
1.3
No changes since rc1.
1.3-rc1
Add patch from jenner to handle updating and removal of resources from GenericSetup profiles. [wichert]
1.3-beta2
Included fixes from the 1.2 line. [fschulze]
1.3-beta1
Do not install default CSS and JS on upgrade, only on initial installation. [wichert]
1.3-alpha1
Added GenericSetup import/export handlers (to support GS-based Plone 2.5 portal creation) [rafrombrc]
1.2.4
Made enabled checkbox work again. [fschulze]
1.2.3
Backported several fixes from 1.3.1: [fschulze]
Enable use of z3 / Five resources. [ree]
Mark missing or unaccessible ressources in management screens. [fschulze]
Moved ‘enabled’ checkbox into legend before ‘id’ textbox. [fschulze]
Don’t remove conditional compile instructions for IE from javascripts. [fschulze]
Fixed error when content is unicode. [rocky]
1.2.2
Added missing arguments in resource adding functions. [jenner, fschulze]
1.2.1
Fixed traversal of security restricted resources. [jenner, alecm, fschulze]
Added javascript “full” compression, which achieves higher compression ratios by doing variable name packing based on the rules from Dean Edwards packer: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/usage/ [fschulze]
Added keyword encoding for javascript. This greatly reduces the file size of javascript files, but adds a small performance hit on the client for the decoding. [fschulze]
1.2
Added compression for CSS and Javascript resources. [fschulze]
Added better labels and a short explanation to the debugmode-checkbox in the forms. [elvix]
Renamed ‘TAL condition’ to ‘Condition’ in the forms, as it has nothing to do with TAL at all (it is a CMF/TALES expression) It should include a link to CMF Expressions help [elvix]
1.1
Fixed cooking of resources to ensure that uncookable resources are not merged. [elro]
Fixed tests for unauthorized to accept a 401 as an unauthorized error. [elro]
Fixed setDebugMode to recook resources after being changed. [elro]
1.1b1
Added checkbox to configure cacheability of resources. [fschulze]
Made registries cacheable. This is most useful with the RAMCacheManager. Just associate portal_css and portal_javascripts with the RAMCache. [fschulze]
Apply magic id to all resources when not in debug mode, so invalidation works. [fschulze]
Made skin aware. This now depends on getCurrentSkinName added in CMF 1.5.5. [elro]
1.0.5
Fixed encoding of javascripts. [fschulze]
1.0.4
Fixed reordering of resources with javascript. [fschulze]
1.0.3
Fixed typo in the migration external method which lead to portal_javascripts not being migrated. [fschulze]
Small fixes to UI. [limi]
1.0.2
Fix for bug #4392, where merging FSfiles could mess up http-status headers and cause weird hanging in browsers. [plonista][fschulze][elvix]
1.0.1
Don’t filter resources in merged overview in ZMI. [fschulze]
Improved management UI. [limi, fschulze]
Fixed reinstall bug due to improper resource id lookup. [alecm]
1.0
Moved directory with skin layer for Plone 2.0.5 compatibility to product root, so it doesn’t interfere with Plone 2.1. The version check on install time didn’t seem to be enough. [fschulze]
getTitle and getMedia will return None now if they are empty, this removes empty title and media attributes from the generated HTML.
Fixed reordering of resources in ZMI when javascript is enabled. [fschulze, jenner]
Fixed submitting changes in ZMI for stylesheets on IE. [fschulze]
0.95
Added getResource function. This allows to change properties of each resource. After that, a call to cookResources is needed. [fschulze]
Added getResourceIds function. [fschulze]
Added test for context dependancy to inline css rendering. [dom]
Now uses restrictedTraverse() rather than getattr() for returning resources, to provide support for resources held within the ZODB. [dom]
Added a “is merging allowed?” option (“cookable” property) to determine where a resource can be merged (default True). This was added because objects in the ZODB may have variable permissions but be merged together. Whilst the objects are checked at each REQUEST, a new REQUEST won’t actually be made each time because of the cache headers set on merged resources. If this worries you, the simplest solution is not to merge such resources, hence this option. [dom]
Added renameResource function with tests. [fschulze]
In Plone 2.1 plone_javascripts.js was removed, fixed tests by using jstest.js from our own skin. [dom]
0.9
Fixed function of enabled checkbox when adding css/javascript from ZMI. Added title field to the ‘add stylesheet’ part in the ZMI. [fschulze]
Added migration script for old instances. Just create a external method with id ‘migrate_resourceregistries’, Module Name ‘ResourceRegistries.migrate’ and Function Name ‘migrate’ and click on the ‘Test’ tab. [fschulze]
Cleaned up imports and whitespaces. Code standardization and small improvements. Fixed ZMI templates XHTML markup. [deo]
Refactored the two registries to use one common base class. [fschulze]
Refactored moving functions, so we have more possibilities. The API reflects the IOrderedContainer one. [fschulze]
Fix order of javascripts, the topmost in the management screen also needs to be the topmost in the resulting source. [fschulze]
Added debugmode where scripts are not concatenated. This will let things like the javascript console point to the right line-number. And makes it easier to develop, because there is no caching of the scripts. [fschulze]
Fixed cooking of stylesheets so that composite stylesheets get correct media settings. Thanks a lot to Denis Mishunoff[spliter] for discovery, investigation and suggested fix [elvix]
Fixed some security declarations. [fschulze]
Made moving of stylesheets and javascripts in ZMI possible without javascript being enabled in the browser. [fschulze]
Moved 2.0.5 header.pt to skins/ResourceRegistries_20compatibility and remove ResourceRegistries_20compatibility when Plone != 2.0.x [fschulze]
Check existance of stylesheets and javascripts before registering. This fixes reinstallation. [fschulze]
Removed duplicate getScripts function definition in tools/JSRegistry.py [fschulze]
Fixed JSRegistry for Plone < 2.1 where plone_utils.getSiteEncoding is not available. [fschulze]
Renamed config.TOOLNAME to config.CSSTOOLNAME and config.TOOLTYPE to config.CSSTOOLTYPE [batlogg]
Added tests for attributes on stylesheets. About time. [elvix]
Added title for alternate stylesheets. [fschulze]
Removing superflous skins directories. [elvix]
Added new debugmode where stylesheets are not concatenated. This will let things like the DOM inspector in Mozilla point to the right line-number. [ldr] [elvix]
Added bugfix for handling disabled items when cooking stylesheets. [fschulze]
0.8
Renamed to ResourceRegistries instead of the historical and wrong CSSRegistry. [elvix]
Upgraded JSRegistry to have a more proper ZMI form, now with reordering support. [elvix]
Changed the order elements are added to the JSRegistry. [elvix]
Added license/copyright notice to composite files (neccesary for including for third party stuff). [elvix]
Bugfix fixing ZMI form for CSSRegistry. [fschulze]
0.7
Added to Plone 2.1 migrations, added installation of the default Plone javascripts and stylesheets. [elvix]
Make sure we intercept all requests for objects, even those already present in the acquisition chain. Override __bobo_traverse__. [elvix]
Handle cache settings in http headers for served files. [elvix]
Handle http headers for inline scripts and stylesheets. [elvix]
Use explicit </script> tag since these pages are being served as text/html. Both IE and firefox will have problems otherwise. [bmh]
0.6 and earlier
Added a simple readme with basic documentation. [elvix]
Started HISTORY.txt (somewhat late perhaps, but better than never). [elvix]
Cleaned up forms. Better alignment. [elvix]
Separate JSRegistry and CSSRegistry to two tools. [elvix]
Lots of changes, numerous fixes. [elvix]
Snowsprint 2005
Designed and built first version of the CSSregistry. [HammerToe] [elvix]
