If you have 5 minutes before "big update" and if you find another idea for "image source"

Another idea:
Add 2 files directory : one for assets + one for files

The one for assets is used by "user who know it's better to have an asset (and {TEMPLATEASSETURL}", other user use "base dir".

PS: this can wait AFTER the big update of thursday.

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CAssetManager#excludeFiles-detail

You want to exclude files directory ? But : is user want to use body{background-image(../files/bg.jpg)} ....

It work actually, but what for TEMPLATEASSETURL

OUps ... sorry : you think 'add viewdirectory' to excludeFiles.

Yep : great idea

....

And if , for another package : we need views directory .....

Must extend clientScript->registerPackage ...

For another release than 3.0

Indeed, only JS, CSS and pictures needs to be in the assets (anything that the browser can cache). Views will never be cached by the browser, so they can be excluded without problems.

Yes : but :

Solution 1: adding asset directory with js/css and files

• {TEMPLATEURL} don't go to asseturl
• Survey with {TEMPLATEURL}/files/mypicture.png are broken
  Solution to fix : use {TEMPLATEURL} as {{TEMPLATEASSETURL} ?

Solution 2: adding only js/css and files directory and put views and pstpl in excludeFiles

• Seems can be done globally => maybe some package/asset want files.
• I don't found in Yii a solution to add excludeFiles in the package configuration : this is surely/maybe the best solution actually. But this solution need more work/time than i have currently.

About other assets system in fact : we have php in some other assets (third_party)

Fix committed to master branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=21425

We can not exclude by .pstpl and .php ....

Yii have an 'includeFilesTypes' https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/framework/utils/CFileHelper.php#L144
but not an excludeFilesTypes ....

It has been added to Yii2. For Yii1, they say that if someone wants it, he should a PR. Maybe I'll do it:
https://github.com/yiisoft/yii/issues/258

Yes : about .php files : it come from bootsrap : really think it's not needed too.

But : think there are a bug by us :
'bootstrap' => array(
'basePath' => 'bootstrap',
...

No : we have a assets directory inside bs, then must be (i think)
'bootstrap' => array(
'basePath' => 'bootstrap.assets',

But : fonts are not in assets .... maybe boostrap need fix too ;).

About boostrap : what do you think about something like this

1. fix bs assets to include font
2. don't include boostrap.css in boostrap in internal : it's already in template and in admin theme

PS : php files in assets directory :
https://framabin.org/?9a722854d7e151ff#0qmPIcx31vlGkU5tVLoGhdgSaCs804GM6DkTJxa6fKs=

It's not only about php/view file

It's too for an asset directory in template. Less files in this dir, only needed files in this directory etc ....

Version 3.0.0-beta.1 released
