Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

WBL\_Minify extension enables minification of magento css merged files and/or javascript merged files. You can choose to use YUICompressor (included). In that case, be sure to have Java installed on your server and MAGE\_ROOT\_DIR/lib/YUICompressor.(-version-).jar executable. Or you may prefer PHP Minifying classes (included).

PHP minifying libraries (Minify\_Css\_Compressor , JSMin) are taken from Stephen Clay's Minify project -

---------

[](#behaviour)

This extension simply minifies css and javascript content before merged files are saved as in the normal magento behaviour. No cache proxy server, or anything complicated : the simple genuine js and css magento browser cache behaviour, but with minified files ;)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Install with [modgit](https://github.com/jreinke/modgit):

[](#install-with-modgit)

```
$ cd /path/to/magento
$ modgit init
$ modgit -e README.md clone magento-minify git://github.com/azurams/Magento-Minify.git
```

### Install with modman:

[](#install-with-modman)

```
$ cd /path/to/magento
$ modman init
$ modman clone WBL_Minify git://github.com/azurams/Magento-Minify.git
```

### Download package manually:

[](#download-package-manually)

- Download latest version [here](https://github.com/azurams/Magento-Minify/archive/master.zip)
- Unzip in Magento root folder
- Clean cache

Log-out then Log-in in magento backend, go to System > Configuration > Developer > Minification Settings. Then flush media/js and media/css files... and that's it !

*NEW* LESS support
------------------

[](#new-less-support)

[LESS: The dynamic stylesheet language.](http://lesscss.org/)

Ability to compile less files with [lessphp](http://leafo.net/lessphp/) and adds the less.js if merging is disabled.

Adding a .less file to your scripts is easy:

```

            skin_cssless/responsive.less

```

*NEW* Grouping files functionality
----------------------------------

[](#new-grouping-files-functionality)

It is advised to disable merging in Magento because the seeming performance benifits aren't as real as they seem. See the excellent Fishpig article: [Why You Shouldn't Merge JavaScript in Magento](http://fishpig.co.uk/blog/why-you-shouldnt-merge-javascript-in-magento.html)

### How does it work?

[](#how-does-it-work)

The js and css files are normally combined to one large file, with this you can group them in relevant groups (the product page gets its own group for example). More examples:

```

            skin_cssless/responsive.lesslocale

            varien/product.jscatalog_product_view

```
