reduce scripts output

Ah I totally missed the update. Will have a look. thanks.

Thanks! Will check it out.

Could you please make wp greet only output its stylesheet only where it’s needed?

It’s all over the place and my cardstyler is using it, making it rather large.

I could use the feature to turn of the css, but I don’t want to put it as inline style, so I would have to go scripting to add it. Can it be done with php inside the templates, or would that be outside the scope of the page/header?

Hmm no idea. I thought you were using the shortcode to enqueue the scripts, which I thought could also be done with enqeueing the stylesheet.

I do know link library only places css when needed, and in the settings you can even specify other pages to load scripts and styles. I think it’s based on page id’s.

Also maybe these pages are useful:

Otherwise it will have to be something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2685614/load-external-css-file-like-scripts-in-jquery-which-is-compatible-in-ie-also/2685639

On second thought, it would be useful if the plugin would only do the the registering part, and I could do the enqueueing manually via the templates. I’m considering to use a single url for the ecard “frontpage” and the ecard form/preview/display page, and would be preferable to only load the css with the form etc.

I think that should work with the following code in the form template:

<?php if(!count($_GET)) {
//or maybe only exclude wpgreet url parameters
?>
//place frontpage html here
<?php
}else{
// enqueue style + all template code here
}
?>

Then also enqueue style in the other templates.

Hope you can make this possible, perhaps with the disable css rules option.

Well, my suggestion is: change the plugin to register the stylesheet like above, then where you currently enqueue the css, use the above enqueue method if “disable wp-greet css rules” checkbox is not ticked. Then it will simply behave the same way it does now, ie. it outputs the css on every page.

If that css checkbox is ticked, don’t enqueue the stylesheet, which is also the same way the plugin behaves now, ie. not output the css anywhere. The only difference is that the stylesheet is registered.

The webmaster then has a choice of how to put css on the page, eg. enqueue as above, add via script, style-tags, or whatever. And rookies don’t have to figure out stuff about functions files, manually adding things etc. Best of both worlds.
