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.

UUID Resolver is a module that accepts a UUID under a registered wildcard menu path and redirects to the target object (i.e. node/term/etc.) the UUID identifies. It integrates with the UUID module to look up an object. When a page access hits the wildcard path with a UUID recognized in the system, the URL is redirected to the path of the target object.

For example, in a Drupal site http://www.example.com, node UUID lookup is registered on the path uuid/%. The site has a node:

• nid: 2
• uuid: 286acd2e-cd1d-11df-a386-005056812593

The following URL:

http://www.example.com/uuid/286acd2e-cd1d-11df-a386-005056812593

will be redirected to

http://www.example.com/node/2
