#203 Stylesheets independent from hostname

[Thomas Isele]

Hello,

I installed wikindxon a server in the intranet of my company. Accessing it from there works.
However, when I'm home and create a tunnel with local port forwarding to my machine,
I can still access wikindx but the stylesheets are not loaded. I suspect this is due to the hardcoded HOSTNAME. When I call it from remote, the address is of course different due to the tunnel (it's localhost:4444 then...

Best,

Thomas

We'll look into it Thomas, Is this v6.0.1?

Hi Mark,

Yes, if Thomas doesn't use 6.0.1.

It's not a bug of wikindx, a limitation only. Adding a port change the url and break CSS/JS include and potentially other direct access to data files.

A simple way to work around the problem is to inline the CSS / JS in the HTML pages when rendering the template, or to make all the includes relative (but the vhost must be correctly configured and the code not simply installed in a sub-folder).

Hello Thomas,

Did you update to 6.0.1?

When you do the mapping, do you cleanly proxy by rewriting urls and referers ?

Considered solution:

Since style sheets are small, include the sheets by inlining instead of links. The loading time will also be reduced with fewer HTTP requests. So :

• Inline CSS.
• inline JS.
• Embed icons (of size <= ???Ko) (optional).
• Minify CSS (optional).
• Minify JS (optional).
• Cache minified files (optional).
