[RFC|Merged] No db storage of stylesheets and templates

[nickvergessen]

We also have now 10+ requests to the server, as every file is grabbed by his own, and not just one style.php

[VSE+]

Why not just make 1 stylesheet, and have it clearly delineated by comments to separate the bidi, colors, common, links, etc etc...?

/**************** Colours *****************/
all your colors css here

/****************Common*****************/
all your common css here

Just never go back to style.php... (see: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=41537&start=10#p229801)

[Arty]

I'm with VSE+ on that one. All text editors have search function, so separating theme into many css files isn't necessary.

[naderman]

I agree. Is this going to cause major problems for MODs or styles in any way?

[Arty]

It will only make things easier because users won't have to search many css files to find a selector. Mods will only have to change whatever.css to stylesheet.css in instructions.

[nickvergessen]

I'd say not more than it does anyway (removing imagesets)
But when we merge it ALL mods having css will be broken.

[naderman]

Well I suppose the advantages outweigh the cost here, so who's going to write the patch?

[nickvergessen]

Again, like on the removing of imagesets, the patch should contain a script, so it's easier for style authors to do the same?

[naderman]

Not sure if you need a script to concatenate a few files?

That's what I read it as.

EDIT: I read your post wrong >_<
