Regarding Fred’s question — you could use a differencing utility, like kdiff3 to what the changes are prior to installing (I haven’t yet had a customization “bump heads” with developer’s changes) but I say that’s the wrong answer. Fred mentioned that he’s consolidating his style sheet calls (presumably .js as well) to reduce the number of requests a page makes. There’s a plugin that does this for you automatically. I’d say it if I knew it but you can google as well as I can. (I think I saw it mentioned on NETTUTS.com) I don’t think it buys that much performance gain for sites of the scope we develop) BUT it let’s you aggregate your css/js calls WITHOUT your having to do so by hand.

So you get what you want without having to tear into plugin code.

Thanks for a great podcast!

What you were talking about those Plugin’s is actually already possible with at least one I know about … it’s the CFormsII (Contact Form Plugin). There you can place our custom Contact Form CSS file in a subfolder of the Plugins folder calles custom-cforms and it’s going to stay there even if the Plugin get’s an update. Maybe something like this would be possible for other things as well.

Good to hear you’re back on … keep the episodes coming!
