"Assets directory is not writeable" about starter-public-edition-4

[ivantcholakov]

I don't see such an error. http://iridadesign.com/starter-public-edition-4/www/non-mvc/demo.php
Perhaps is comes from a customization?

I have no a directory Assets with capital A.

Yep, I checked again and it was my fault. Did u have integrated any library for minify css or js? You know... Application are modular so I extended it to have own module`s assets for each one. Every page can have different combinations of the modules so I made a library to combine css and js and include it to main HTML as one file. And here will be helpfull minify. Did you know some good libraries?

Unfortunately this is my weakness. I have no time for researching and choosing the best one. At the moment I know this solution:

https://github.com/tonydewan/Carabiner

And there is a CMS that uses it:

https://github.com/srpurdy/SharpEdgeCMS

Edit: Carabiner should be tested with CI3, but I don't expect big problems.

Its a Good tool 👍. I used some functionality and works prefect exactly as I want.
But I noticed that assets loaded form eg.: (i use special controller to load it)

module
-assets
--img
---some-pic.png

is not caching. Is it can be problem with .htaccess file or with normal privileges to platform directory?

[ivantcholakov]

You are placing module-specific assets within a protected place. Everything that is under platform/ directory should not be accessed by the browser.

I have seen that PyroCMS used this way, but I don't recommend it, it is insecure. Of course, you may tweak the .htaccess files on your responsibility.

hmm.. You have a right. It will be better to make good structure of assets folder and than just during install the module copy content of assets folder to right place.
