AtomSite 1.2 Settings Release
Posted in AtomSite, Release by JarrettV on 8/4/2009 6:06:22 PM - CSTThis release of AtomSite 1.2 has improved composite web site performance by allowing asset combining and minification. To support this new feature, we reorganized the folders where assets are stored.
| Type | Folder | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Cascading Stylesheets | /css | /css/default/CommentWidget.css |
| Images | /img | /img/default/icon.png |
| Javascript | /js | /js/default/CommentWidget.js |
| Plugins | /plugins | /plugins/CommentPlugin.1.0.0.0.zip |
| View Files & Theme Info | /themes | /themes/default/CommentView.aspx |
This new feature greatly reduces the number of requests made to download a page. The biggest performance improvements can be seen in the AtomSite Manager where each page contains many widgets. Not only does it make each page load faster, but development is easier as well. For example, a widget can have it's own stylesheet and javascript files making things easier to manage and locate.
