I have several Joomla 3.9 websites now using Bootstrap 4x - currently v4.1.3.
In the head of the index.php file for each website is this link:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">
and in the bottom of the index.php are these three scripts:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-FgpCb/KJQlLNfOu91ta32o/NMZxltwRo8QtmkMRdAu8="crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.3/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-ZMP7rVo3mIykV+2+9J3UJ46jBk0WLaUAdn689aCwoqbBJiSnjAK/l8WvCWPIPm49" crossorigin="anonymous" async></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-ChfqqxuZUCnJSK3+MXmPNIyE6ZbWh2IMqE241rYiqJxyMiZ6OW/JmZQ5stwEULTy" crossorigin="anonymous" async></script>
(Note: I am using jquery-3.3.1.min.js instead of the slim version as the slim version does not include scrollTop and other animation functions)
When Bootstrap 4.1.3 is updated to the next version I would prefer not to have to go into each template and update all four links manually for each site. (Each template is different).
What I would like to do is upload two files to a subdomain, e.g. files.mydomain.co.uk, one containing the link to the stylesheet and the other containing the three scripts. I would then add links to those files in the index.php. Something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://files.mydomain.co.uk/bootstrap-min-css.php">
which is a file containing the stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com stylesheet link
and for the three scripts just before the closing body tag:
<link href="https://files.mydomain.co.uk/bootstrap-required.php">
If it worked, I'd only have to update the link once each update. I've tried it, but (probably not surprisingly) it doesn't work.
Question 1: is what I want to do possible?
Question 2: if yes, how?
Question 3: will Joomla 4x contain all these files, anyway? If so, I can probably manage until then.
Thank you.
p.s. Can someone with the appropriate reputation please add a tag for Bootstrap 4x? Thank you.
