spf_js - JavaScript management - create, edit, delete, export to file

Hello

1. Put the ‘js’ directory in your root directory – in your case inside the ‘test’ directory.

2. Under Advanced Prefs just enter ‘js’ (it’s in relation to your root directory).

Thanks. Ok, that’s what I thought. I’d put the “js” directory inside of “test”, and had left the “javascript” path in the advanced setting at it’s default “js”. I made sure the plugin was installed and activated. But it doesn’t seem to be working.

I’ve installed and activated the spf_js plugin. I created a form, “js_link” which simply outputs <txp:spf_js />, and then included the tag <txp:output_form form="js_link"> on each page, so that I could quickly change the javascript link if need be.

To see if the javascript was functioning, I included this basic function to the default javascript file.
function popup() { alert("Hello World") }

And added this to my default txp page.

<input type="button" onclick="popup()" value="Click Me!">

When I checked the site in the browser, the “Click Me!” button was of course created, but I’m not getting any popup. I can’t seem to figure out what the problem is.

You don’t need to create a form etc.

Once you’ve added your javascript to the default javascript just add <txp:spf_js /> to the relevant page template.

If you’re still having trouble, can you go to Admin > Diagnostics and tell me what is says for Document root and $path_to_site?

I understand that I don’t need to create a form for the link, but was worried that I wouldn’t get the plugin to work properly, and Figured it would be easier to change a form than to change the link on several different pages if I end up trying to deal with the javascript manually.

According to diagnostics:

Document root: /home/43/94/8309443/web
$path_to_site: /home/43/94/8309443/web/test

Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.

Hmm .. all looks fine to me.

I set up a quick local install of Textpattern in a sub-directory to test and it works fine.

If you look at the page source can you see the javascript?

Just on a lark, I got rid of the form, and put the <txp:spf_js /> directly on the page template. The basic javascript now runs. Go figure.

I appreciate the help. I’ll start putting the more complex javascript in and see if it all continues to work.

Thanks for looking into this with me.

Your form tag wasn’t closed:

<txp:output_form form=“js_link”>

.. instead of:

<txp:output_form form=“js_link” />

Whoops! thanks for the catch.

Is it only possible to use one spf tag at a time? When I add <txp:spf_js /> just before the closing </body> tag, the javascript works fine. If I add another, such as <txp:spf_js name="shim" />, to include a shim script I created in the Javascript panel, the default script stops working.

Yes, I am using this plugin in all my sites. Can you post your head code or a url for us to check what might the problem be?
