Existing plugins

[ryanhellyer]

I'm thinking it may be useful to add a list of links to existing extension plugins to the README.md file.

In particular, plugins (or code for) the following I think would be useful:

• Auto-purge Cron
• Minification
• CDN URLs

I'm aware of existing code for minification and CDN URLs, but not Cron purging.

Since I couldn't find an auto purge plugin, I made one ... https://github.com/ryanhellyer/minit-cron-purge

[ryanhellyer]

And here's another one for disabling Minit when logged in (and not on an admin page). https://github.com/ryanhellyer/minit-disable-for-logged-in-users

This was causing me some headaches with Beaver Builder. I think Beaver Builder was dynamically building JS and CSS files on the fly, and glitching out when Minit tried to serve the old concatenated file.

Thank @ryanhellyer! Would you like to open a pull request with the updated readme.md?

Secondly, I was wondering what is the use case for the Minit Cron Purge plugin? Is that mainly for keeping the minit cache folder clean?

[kasparsd]

@ryanhellyer Note that with static page caching you might end up with 404s on the those asset files that are still referenced in the HTML output.

A wiki page page would be more suitable as users may edit it.

[kasparsd]

@szepeviktor That is a great suggestion. We could link to that wiki page from the readme then.

[ryanhellyer]

@kasparsd Yeah, I'm experiencing that darned static page caching problem ;)

My reasoning, was that I'm having some issues with the cache not being purged when it should be. Some plugins don't update their version numbers, and so the cache isn't purging when intended :/ But it is of course causing the issue you mentioned, which is problematic.

[ryanhellyer]

@kasparsd I suspect I'm meant to run Minit_Plugin::cache_bump() as you mentioned in another ticket instead of purging the whole cache. So I may refactor that plugin if that turns out to be the case.

EDIT: And now I see you have another ticket for adding support for that with do_action( 'minit-cache-version-bump' );

[kasparsd]

Fixed in #91.

[szepeviktor]

There are several minification addons but Minit-Pro is superior.

[kasparsd]

@szepeviktor I would like to list them all so a Wiki page would be awesome like you suggested. We can then change the readme to link to that Wiki page instead.

The Wiki page is here, in case anyone missed it: https://github.com/kasparsd/minit/wiki/Minit-Extensions
