admin app get jquery from cdnjs.cloudflare.com

[李元霸]

Hello friends.

The footer.html is embedded in all pages of the admin app and it is referencing cdnjs.cloudflare.com for jquery.min.js
I have difficulty accessing cdns.cloudfare.com in my country/region. This makes the page rendition very slow.

What I did to cope with it is to change the html code in the footer.html like this to prevent the pages from getting the js from the cdn:
<script src="../../js/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- script th:inline="text">
//<![CDATA[
window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="[[@{/js/lib/jquery-1.9.1.js}]]"><\/script>');
//]]>
</script-->

However this change is reflected in the pages of the site app while in the admin app, the code from footer.html in each page stays aggravatingly intact even after I ran "mvn clean war:exploded jetty:run" in the admin project folder.

I know i should not bother you with any questions to which the answer is an easy find. I know that some CMS periodically compile fragments of pages into one. I don't know how Broadleaf's CMS works. I have not found any documents pertaining to it yet, I'll keep searching in the cms section of broadleaf's CMS and Themeleaf. At the mean time, if you could give me any pointers/tips, they will be much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback. Could you please open an issue at https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Br ... rce/issues and reference that you are in China and having trouble with this? I think that we would like to find a better workaround for situations that you have described.

In regards to your specific problem, the admin and site templates are managed separately from each other. Broadleaf does not provide a supported UI on the frontend shopping cart side of the application other than the DemoSite which is designed to demonstrate Broadleaf functionality.

The admin is a different story though and you can provide overrides to different templates. In your case, you want to override footer.html from the admin project. The process is very similar to the answer provided here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2682&p=7224.

In your case, you will have a custom footer.html in admin/src/main/webapp/templates/admin/layout/partials/footer.html. That will override the template from the admin.

The reason that I said to open a bug for this is that once you override this file, you then have to track changes in Broadleaf very closely if we add new Javascript files to bundles referenced here. I think the right answer is to simply remove the cloudflare loading of JQuery for places like China where that loads very slow.

I followed your advice and overrode the footer.html in admin. It works! Thank you!
I also opened an issue Demosite #1016 at the github link you gave me. Hope every little bit helps.

Possibly cndjs has a different domain name in China, i.e. cdnjscn.b0.upaiyun.com , I found it when I searched to replace the
old url.

I am truely just a small ant on the shoulder of a giant.
