TOPIC: Module Installation
#4688
Re: Module Installation 14 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi Edwin,

Thanks for the reply.

The plugin itself works correctly and compresses and combines the slave site's CSS and JS files into one file and stores this in the slave site's cache folder.

However, the plugin creates a link in the head section of the slave site like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/plugins/system/CssJsCompress/css.php?css=e6145bf85ae684dbe03491a0aac5128d.css.gz"/>

Now, the slave site plugin directory is sym-linked to the master site plugins directory. So on the slave the link statement calls css.php and the PATH_ROOT in the below code becomes the path to the master site and not the slave site. So in effect it looks for the file in the master site's cache folder and not the slave site cache folder...does that make sense?

One of the problems is that the above call to css.php is done outside of the joomla framework and just outputs a header and loads the css file.

Does that make sense? What I want to happen is that css.php loads the cached file from the slaves cache folder not the master cache folder.

One way to do this would be to pass some slave site identifier as a second url parameter to the css.php file.

E.g. css.php?css=e223423wersdfsdf323.css.gz&site_path=/site/path

This would require a patch for the plugin though and not JMS. Is it possible to get a JMS site_path or site_id for a slave in a plugin?

Thanks for your help.

To get the JMS Site ID, this require to have a call to the index.php.

Based on your explaination, they hack the joomla code to bypass the joomla index entry point and event don't perform any call the the configuration.php to get the DB connection.

Don't add a path as parameter in the url. This could open a security hole.

Send us this extension in attachement of an email to be able see all the code and allow us to see if a patch could be possible.

As this extension is probably used within a themes (template), also send us all the material that would help us reproduce the problem you have described.

I have attached the plugin here which I hope is okay.

I don't think they really 'hack' the code and bypass the index.

The plugin simply adds a <link> statement to the head section of the site which points to a cached file ( it one exists ). I don't think this is really any different from outputting any other <link> statement in the <head> section. Joomla core will create the <head> section based on the plgins etc but when this is rendered the browser itself has no concept of joomla framework...

Do you think that css.php should try and get an instance of the joomla framework when it is called? Is this possible from a dynamic file called from a <link> statement? Do you want me to post a link to slave site which is demonstrating this issue?

Anyway, all your help is much appreciate.

Adam

If they had performed a Joomla initialisation, to get the JPATH_ROOT or JPATH_BASE, it would be better.
Instead they computed their own PATH_ROOT.

I will try to see if I can patch this "css.php" file but in fact, I should completly rewrite it.
Perhaps I will just replace all the css.php with a new code that will compute the JPATH_BASE and will use it to compute JPATH.
This will take several days or perhaps weeks.

A new JMS Multisites patch definition 1.2.39 including a patch for CssJsCompress is now available.

The patch compute the slave site directory for the CSS and JS compression scripts.
