Cachebuster Template Tags

Use the cachebuster tag_helpers to ensure the browswers are not caching your css or javascript edits. Using the template tags will return a full css or javascript tag with the filename and a sha1 string appended based on the name of the file and the edit date of the file. When the file is changed the hash is also updated.

Usage

Load the tag

{% load tag_helper %}

Javascript

{% js_tag "jquery.js" %} or {% js_tag "jquery" %}

will return

<script src="/site_media/jquery.js?e90301f912ab5c1b72d6422aa690d76c1cbff357" type="text/javascript"></script>

CSS

{% css_tag "base.css" %} or {% css_tag "base" %}

 will return

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/site_media/base.css?aa3117fb84ed9fddcd93ba62e459bf2211262ae4" />
