About lastModified

lastModified Extra for MODx Revolution

by daemon.devin PortableAppz.x10.mx/

When dealing with a browser's cache you can't be certain your viewers are getting the most recent copy of the files that make up the page they're looking at. This little snippet intends to remedy that by appending a GET value (in this case, the UNIX timestamp) to, for example, a cascading stylesheet, you can make the browser think the stylesheet is dynamic, thus reloading the file every time the modification date changes.
