soo_required_files: per-article loading of JavaScript and CSS files
This plugin, in combination with a custom field, allows you to load JavaScript and CSS files in the document <head>, on a per-article basis. Useful if you use a JavaScript/CSS package such as Slimbox and only want to load the relevant files on pages where you actually need them.

Thanks Steve — great to see you’re still around the forum. I won’t read too much into this, though ;)

Hi J Soo… apologies for not getting this. I’m not sure why this cannot be achieved with <txp:if_article_id ="1,2,5" >... or with <txp:if_custom_field name="javascript" val="js">

It can. It just becomes terribly awkward if you’re talking about more than one or two files.
or with
<txp:if_custom_field name="javascript" val="js">
Only allows one value in the field.

Re: soo_required_files: per-article loading of JavaScript and CSS files
It’s nice to have this functionality as a plugin.
Thanks, jsoo.
I also think it could be done (not so) easily using custom fields + built-in tags (as colak posted) mixed with smd_each (yes, it requires a plugin too…, althought smd_each can also be used for other tasks in a site…).

Re: soo_required_files: per-article loading of JavaScript and CSS files
Good pointer. It’s hard to keep up with all of Bloke’s plugins! It could definitely be done as you say, although I suspect would involve some <txp:php> to get the preg_match() stuff I do to differentiate between files and form names. (I could easily be overlooking something, though.)

Version 0.1.1 just released. The only change is compatibility with the soo_plugin_pref plugin preference management system.

Re: soo_required_files: per-article loading of JavaScript and CSS files
The plugin is very interesting but, at least, one article must be published to load JavaScript or CSS for a custom page. Is there a way to choose the relevant files without any article?

No, the plugin is intentionally article-based. Can you give me an example of the situation you have in mind?

Re: soo_required_files: per-article loading of JavaScript and CSS files
candyman, I’ve had a few ideas about this. I’m considering adding two or three new attributes to expand the plugin’s scope:
page_files(boolean) — if true, look for css/js files with the same name as the current page (template)section_files(boolean) — if true, look for css/js files with the same name as the current section
and maybe even:
category_files(boolean) — if true, look for css/js files with the same name as the current article categories
The plugin would do a file_exists() check in the default css and js directories (defaults as set in the plugin prefs), then output <link /> elements for existing files.
Is that the kind of thing you were thinking of?

Re: soo_required_files: per-article loading of JavaScript and CSS files
I’ve a page that implement geoblogging: only the map, no articles in that page. It would be useful to load the GoogleMap script for this page only: from this my previous request.
In the meantime I’ve found the stm_javascript and jmd_admin_js plugins also.
Anyway if you can add these features it would be useful, I think.
