Magento 1 CSS Merge Data URI Fix

This module fixes a bug which is present in all Magento 1 versions which case a corrupt CSS file when Magento's default CSS merging functionality is activated and data URI's are used in the CSS, for example with inline images. For more information see: http://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/14973/problem-with-data-uris-and-css-file-merge

Why doesn't Magento fix this?

It's a known issue but probably they focus more on Magento 2, understandable.

Known modules with this issue:

• Algolia Search for Magento, a pull request is created.

Installation

• Use modman: modman clone https://github.com/just-better/magento1-css-merge-data-uri-fix.git
• Manually: download, unzip and copy.

Compability

This module overrides just one Magento model and is compatible with our cache buster module which overrides the same model. It's tested on Magento 1.9.3.2 but should work on every older version.

Ideas, bugs or suggestions?

Please create a issue or a pull request.
