Code

function system_rebuild_css_js_query_string() {

  // A dummy query string gets added to the URLs for css and javascript files,
  // to give us control over browser caching.  When this value changes (cause we
  // cleared the cache, updated a module, etc) it tells the browser to get a new
  // copy of our css and js files.  

  // This idea, like many other ideas in FlightPath, was borrowed from Drupal.

  // The timestamp is converted to base 36 in order to make it more compact.
  // This gives us a random-looking string of 6 numbers and letters.
  variable_set('css_js_query_string', base_convert(time(), 10, 36));
