django-staticmediamgr 0.3

A Django app to copy static media files over to a remote place, optionally minifying css and js.

=====================
Django-StaticMediaMgr
=====================

**New in this version:** Ability to combine multiple files into a new file before copying and/or
compressing them.

This app provides a way to copy and consolidate static media files to one or more configured locations.
This is incredibly helpful if you have your media served from another server.

It consists of a management command, ``copy_static_media``, and several settings including:

* ``STATIC_MEDIA_COPY_PATHS`` A tuple of dictionaries specifying the from/to for copying files.

* ``STATIC_MEDIA_PURGE_OLD_FILES`` Should old files be purged from the destination directory.

* ``STATIC_MEDIA_COMPRESS_CSS`` Should CSS files be compressed during copy using the included
port of `YUI Compressor <http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/>`_

* ``STATIC_MEDIA_COMPRESS_JS`` Should javascript files be compressed during copy using the
included python port of Douglas Crockford's `jsmin
<http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jsmin.html>`_

* ``STATIC_MEDIA_APP_MEDIA_PATH`` Where (and if) should the application media be copied to
automatically.

* ``STATIC_MEDIA_FILE_COMBINATIONS`` Configuration of combining multiple files into one.


TODO
====

* Allow lossless image compression for pngs, gifs and jpegs using external tools like optiPNG.

* Create a template tag to minify inline CSS and javascript with caching
