Configuration¶

By default, when you’ve applied the EXT:min TypoScript configuration, all minification features are enabled and pre-configured to get best compression results.

Debugging¶

Also, there is a TypoScript condition included which takes effect, when

you are logged-in to the TYPO3 backend and
added the query parameter ?debug=1

This disables all features of EXT:min and also the compression and concatenation features of the core itself.

Settings¶

The following chapters, explain the available options you have, using the default configuration as example.

Asset compression (CSS/JS)¶

To enable the asset compression of TYPO3, as well as of EXT:min just add this to your TypoScript.

config {
        compressCss = 1
        concatenateCss = 1
        compressJs = 1
        concatenateJs = 1
}

HTML source compression¶

Because of historical reasons, the configuration for HTML compression is located in plugin.tx_min.tinysource:

plugin.tx_min.tinysource {
        enable = 1
        body {
                stripComments = 1
                preventStripOfSearchComment = 1
                removeTypeInScriptTags = 1
        }
        protectCode {
                10 = /(<textarea.*?>.*?<\/textarea>)/is
                20 = /(<pre.*?>.*?<\/pre>)/is
        }
        oneLineMode = 1
}
