Defer JS [Deleted]

[Jeremy P]

Jeremy P updated Defer JS with a new update entry:

Fix Bypass

This release fixes a (relatively big) issue with ads not being bypassed.

You only need to upload the new files, importing the XML is not necessary.

Sorry to those who have already installed the addon.

I have this working in PHP 5.3.

Unless I've overlooked something, the only thing that isn't PHP 5.3 compatible is your array syntax. You're using the relatively new array shorthand.

So you're using:

[$this, 'collect']

Instead of:

array ($this, 'collect')

In my testing, I have just adjusted the array syntax and it appears to be working fine.

Is it possible to make that available for people on PHP 5.3?

 

[Adam Howard]

php 5.4 is the old stable
php 5.5 is the current release
php 5.6 is in the development

5.3 Blah !
5.2 wtf ?


I'm happy the developer is encouraging people to use 5.4 or newer.

I have suggested the code changes in a pull request on GitHub to @Jeremy P. I'll leave it up to him if he chooses to release those changes or not. That's not my place. I was just trying to help him ensure his excellent work with this add-on can get a wider reach.

I do not disagree. I am not a fan of sticking around on old versions.

Absolutely, PHP 5.2... that can take a long jump.

But:



5.3 should still get some attention. As much as it would be nice, people aren't likely to upgrade to PHP 5.4 or higher on the basis of this add-on alone. And a big portion of that 50+% is probably down to crap shared hosts being lazy, or a requirement to maintain backwards compatibility with other essential applications. It really isn't fair to start leaving them behind over the syntactical difference between [] and array().

As much as it would be nice, people aren't likely to upgrade to PHP 5.4 or higher on the basis of this add-on alone. And a big portion of that 50+% is probably down to crap shared hosts being lazy, or a requirement to maintain backwards compatibility with other essential applications. It really isn't fair to start leaving them behind over the syntactical difference between [] and array().

I just wanted to say that I fully understood on release that the only difference is trivial. I didn't release it unsure why it wasn't working with 5.3, it is that way on purpose.

I don't expect people to upgrade to PHP 5.4 "on the basis of this add-on alone," but because there's great reason to be on 5.4+ even without it. There's no good excuse for being on an older version. You can (and should) run multiple versions of PHP on the same server if you need to support legacy applications.

If you're running a crap shared host I can't imagine why you'd be concerned over the performance to the degree this addon emphasizes. And if you really are, vote with your dollar and move to a better host. Any host worth your money supports 5.4.

All of that said, I do realize the real-world implication is this will exclude bunches of people from being able to use this addon. And people aren't going to read the above and do an about-face and move hosts.. it's optimistic at best. I just think people giving money to hosts that can't be bothered to properly support PHP is part of the problem and offering 5.3 compatibility is no solution to the underlying issue.

In the interests of not being a jerk, I will release a single version that is 5.3 compatible. It won't be supported, it won't receive updates (just like PHP 5.3 ), and it won't be in the main download, you'll have to grab it from the FAQ.

@Chris D thanks for the pull request I'll see to it that a 5.3 version is available.. and the above isn't directly solely at you, I'm just explaining my reasoning and venting my frustrations.

Do i need this, when i have the Cache Addon from xfrocks installed?

Probably. Check GWTMetrix.

Yeah, if you're running mod_pagespeed or ngx_pagespeed with that filter, this addon won't do you any good.

 

[Jeremy P]

Check the FAQ, there's now a 5.3 compatible version but it is unsupported. Works fine though.

Dang. I see alot of people still use 5.3. Even I was using it on Slavik's host (not that I wanted to, had no choice).

Is there uninstall documentation? (Just in case.)

Follow the install in reverse order

Uninstall from admin, remove the files at library/Jrahmy/DeferJs/

I had to disable @Jeremy P because some of my addons won't load correctly; Modern Statistics and BD Image addons.

That sucks- I have neither, hope all works on my install.

If not, simply disabling it should turn it off until it can be worked out. I'll get most of the popular conflicts skipped by default as long as people keep bringing them to my attention.

It's Friday and I'm right about to head south for the evening so I'll get any problems sorted out over the weekend. In the meantime if you can figure out what scripts aren't working you can skip them in the settings.

works like a charm, 5 star add-on. Thanks for sharing it.
