I do a lot of work on non-internet based systems, the 'cmsb/lib/menus/header.php' tries to load from 'googleapis.com' problem of course is that there is no access and it has to time out multiple times for each of the fonts & javascript.

Could we please have a setting in the control panel  that will tell the system NOT to try and do stuff over the internet.

Thanks
Larry

Hi Larry, 

There's a fallback in the code: 

  <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="<?php echo CMS_ASSETS_URL ?>/3rdParty/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"><\/script>')</script>

Does that not work?  Or is the issue just that it's slow?

S-L-O-W ... hugely ;-)

Also, the fonts don't have a fallback, went and looked. When it gets me grumpy I mod the file to remove the external calls but obviously that only works to the next update and then it goes slow again.

Cheers
Larry

Your solution is exactly what the doc ordered ;-)

The main problem (for me) is that the intranet stuff is sitting with a connection but it is low bandwidth, like old dial up, so remote downloading fonts/js etc really hurts ... we all need fibre!

Hi All, 

Just wanted to update you that we've fixed this for the next release.  We've opted to go with all local files for now rather than maintaining the option for local and remote files.  If speed becomes an issue (I don't think it will) we can always add more caching on the backend in future.  

Thanks!
