When I build a site I want to remove any unneeded external JavaScript files in the html to help improve the performance of the site.
So when I create a basic content page using an article layout with no modules I am surprised to see these 3 lines
<code>
<script src="/media/system/js/core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/media/system/js/mootools-core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/media/system/js/caption.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</code>
This happens on both joomla 1.5 and 1.6 When I looked around the web for a solution I keep finding the answer to be use regular expression on the final output to remove it. While this will remove it, I wanted to understand why this is added. It should in theory only be added when it is needed. If I add a module that does need mootools then I do not want to be removing the script file.
It will break the module. Not being a core hack is probably the only good thing about this method. Since Joomla will only add files that are told to be included, so I decided to work out why they were being told to be included when nothing on the page needs them.
For years I have been playing around with the main .htaccess file for Joomla and over time have created quite a beast of a file.
Not only does this .htaccess file provide the default search engine friendly URL functions as you'd expect with Joomla, it also applies a huge amount of security settings that can be applied in the .htaccess file as well as a set of optimisation and custom configuration settings to make your server work the way you want it to and now I'm going to share it with the Joomla community.
