Bootstrap, jquery, etc support file downloads

[Dave224]

I would like to download each support file needed for zen cart and addon's and save them in the zen cart file structure somewhere during development. I want to do this so that when I operate with cache off these files are local instead of being downloaded each time I test a CSS change. Where can/should I store these files?
TIA,
Dave

Your browser already caches those things locally automatically.

Unless you are constantly on airplanes or in other places with bad/no WiFi, this is more trouble than it's worth. If you're at home with decent networking, you won't notice a difference.

But if you want to do it ... I used to do it when I was traveling a lot, and here's how I did it:

Look at includes/templates/responsive_classic/common/html_header.php and search down to where jQuery is loaded.

It uses <script ...> to load it, and then does a test to see if it was loaded and if not, loads the one from the local jscript folder.
Wrap the <script ...> in a check

if (USE_LOCAL_SCRIPTS) {

and set that define when you want to use what's in your local environment.

Repeat for all scripts required.

If you're only working locally during dev time, you can of course also just comment-out the CDN load so that it does load the local one.
