Jettison unwanted CSS and JavaScript files!

This module provides a hook-based mechanism for getting rid of unwanted CSS and JS files. Simply declare which files you want deleted, and this will take care of removing them.

There's also a nice administration interface that can be used for simple cases.

What is it good for?

Sometimes a module adds CSS or JS that you don't want (or don't want to show up on non-admin themes). Use Jettison to get rid of them.

Occasionally, modules put their CSS/JS on every page when it should really only be on a few isolated pages. A jettison hook can be used to detect the conditions and then remove strategically.

Examples

Say we have a module called Example, and we want to remove the foo.js that some other module adds. Here's how to accomplish this in Jettison's API:

function example_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $icky_js = drupal_get_path('module', 'foo') . '/foo.js';
  jettison_js($icky_js, 'module');
}

Or to remove a CSS file from some offending theme (yes, this would be an edge case), we can do this:

function example_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $ugly_css = drupal_get_path('theme', 'ugly') . '/foo.css';
  jettison_css($ugly_css, 'theme');
}

If your needs are more sophisticated than a simple removal, you might want to look into the following API functions:

The Field API in Drupal core lacks the ability for other modules to easily alter field formatter settings forms and the formatter summaries.

This module enables Views to use EntityFieldQuery as the query back-end, allowing you to query all defined entity types and their fields, even the ones stored in non-SQL storage.
