CSS Injector

nice module, nice vid

Fantastic - this is a great module and I appreciate the video showing how it works without having to install it first...

Great to use a file instead of DB - not only can Drupal aggregate the CSS files (if you set the caching) BUT even if you don't, the browser will aggregate the file anyway.

Cool, but why use files?
Why not put it in the database? You could have multiple rules/snippets and include them inline on pageload without all of those file system calls.

File system calls are faster than bootstrapping Drupal to generate the CSS on the fly each time it's needed; in addition, using the filesystem means that Drupal can automatically aggregate the snippets into a single master CSS file for the site, saving hits and download time.

Interesting. I guess I really need to dig more into the Drupal internals. I've found that, in php, a single database call is faster than multiple file calls, but you seam to know a hell of a lot more about the Drupal framework than I do. Thanks.

Do you have a blog listing all of the modules you've working on? I really like simpleviews.

Cool little module
