Hi, following this topic:

Productivity Tips & Tricks

There are many small little things that we as a community have learned along the way that will help all users that have not encountered these oddities as yet. In an effort to assist them and ensure the same or similar questions are asked less often I would like to request that users add their tips and tricks to this post which I will try to keep clean and tidy as it grows.   Tip 1: Use the default('') data formatter when you have a dynamic table with sorting AND/OR paging applied, as your que…

In Tip 17 on Workaround 2, this line:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/dgsitestyle.css?ver=<?php echo filemtime('../css/dgsitestyle.css'); ?>">

It's usefull because I use it with bootstrap following this:

Using Bootstrap Source Files

Creating a project with Bootstrap source files Update: Although the following will work, this video will show a much easier way to do the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85tt7KwUMLo We will assume that you have: created a new project as per https://docs.wappler.io/t/creating-a-new-local-project/2909 added App Connect to your page as per https://docs.wappler.io/t/adding-app-connect/2921 added Bootstrap 4 local as per https://docs.wappler.io/t/adding-bootstrap-4/2920 Take note of the…

So, with bootstrap in this case it would be:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../bootstrap/5/css/bootstrap.min.css?ver=<?php echo filemtime('../../bootstrap/5/css/bootstrap.min.css'); ?>" />

It work like a charm, but unfortunatly on every save document (CTRL+S) it generate a new line without modification removin php tags, a cleaning new line. This make unusefull the above condition because in document persist the new line of bootstrap that wappler generates.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../bootstrap/5/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

How to prevent this from happening?

Thanks.

If you are on a PHP page this is what I do.
I place the new line inside a conditional. Example:
<?php if (1==0){?><link rel="stylesheet" href="../../bootstrap/5/css/bootstrap.min.css" /><?php }?>

This way the css is being ignored on the webpage while Wappler does not add it anymore since it finds it on the code.

Thank you

Great, a simple but powerful solution. Thanks.
I thinks that Wappler team sould considering an optional way to deactivate this auto function about generate bootstrap css path in file, to not incurr in aditional php tags.
Maybe with future scss compiler into wappler.
