Purpose

Replace template-specific developmentmode parameter with Joomla's global cache configuration for controlling asset minification. Version set to 03.07.00.

Change Summary

Cache Integration

  • index.php and offline.php: Check $app->get('caching') instead of $params->get('developmentmode')
  • Cache enabled → .min suffix, minified assets
  • Cache disabled → no suffix, source assets

AssetMinifier.php

  • Parameter: $developmentMode$useNonMinified (inverted for cache semantics)
  • Mode strings: 'development'/'production''cache-disabled'/'cache-enabled'

Deprecation

  • developmentmode parameter kept for backward compatibility, marked deprecated in language strings

Tests

  • testProcessAssetsDevelopmentMode()testProcessAssetsCacheDisabled()
  • Added testProcessAssetsCacheEnabled()

Version

  • Updated to 03.07.00 in: index.php, offline.php, AssetMinifier.php, templateDetails.xml

Documentation

  • Fixed custom color palette instructions in README.md to use correct Joomla installation paths (media/templates/site/moko-cassiopeia/css/colors/...) instead of development repository paths (src/media/css/...)

Testing Evidence

  • PHP syntax validation passed
  • Unit tests updated with new behavior
  • Cache logic verified: enabled produces .min, disabled produces empty suffix
  • README instructions verified against actual Joomla installation structure

Risk and Rollback

Low risk: Read-only cache config access. Template minification isolated to template directory. Documentation fix has no runtime impact.

Rollback: Revert commits. Minified files regenerate on next page load.

Checklist

  • Follows Conventional Commits
  • Tests added or updated
  • Documentation updated if required
  • License header present where applicable
  • Linked issue(s) referenced

Reviewer Notes

Cache access: Uses $app->get('caching') boolean. Matches existing pattern at line 73: $app->get('sitename').

Parameter inversion: AssetMinifier::processAssets($path, !$cacheEnabled) - method expects "use non-minified" flag while cache represents "optimize" intent.

Backward compatibility: Deprecated parameter visible but non-functional. No breaking changes.

Documentation fix: Custom palette instructions now reflect actual Joomla installation paths where users need to create files, aligning with how the template references media paths in the codebase.

Review and Approval

Review focus:

  • Cache configuration access correctness
  • Parameter inversion logic
  • Test coverage for both cache states
  • README instructions accuracy for end users
Original prompt

when development mode is switched to false css and js is minified on first run, when develpoment mde is switched to true, mon files are deleted and non minifed file are used, also create matching web assets in the jooml.assets
