Well to use it requires htaccess rules basicly, what its for is so links still work say to images/css/swf or whatever, thats not web accessible it read the file and outputs it back out just like it was really in a web folder.

Its usefull for people if they decide to share plugins across multiple sites.

Besides that it does 2 things:
  • Controls caching of static files (which saves poor IE users, because IE cannot control cache itself)
  • Compresses JS/CSS files with GZIP
May the Source be with you!

Sorry to dig up an old thread but in relation to this:

[quote]Compresses JS/CSS files with GZIP[/quote]

Does that mean any js files specified in the rc.php should not be minified already?
I am asking that cause any javascript file I add there seems to not work. If i add the script normally in the header.tpl it works just fine.

I have this in my header:

PHP
1
2
3
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/nemesis/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/nemesis/js/jquery.easing.1.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/nemesis/js/jquery.wt-rotator.min.js"></script>

which works (the slider using this javascript).
However, if i disable those in my header and activate these lines in my rc.php than it (the slider using this javascript) does not work:

PHP
1
2
3
cot_rc_add_file('themes/nemesis/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js');
cot_rc_add_file('themes/nemesis/js/jquery.wt-rotator.min.js');
cot_rc_add_file('themes/nemesis/js/jquery.easing.1.3.min.js');

I am really lost and do not see what I am doing wrong if my above assumption is not correct.

Correct. You should not use minified javascripts with rc_add because it may cause problems (not always). It's best if you just download the original js source, use that instead and let Cotonti handle the minification.
