Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
I would like to request for a “javascript manager”, something like managing txp styles. (Even a hack would be great). Can somebody help?

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
u know u can use your ‘stylesheets’ for javascript, right? make a new stylesheet called “js” then just bung this in your head:
<script src="http://www.domain.com/textpattern/css.php?n=js" type="text/javascript"></script>
maybe not for the purists but it works and life is short

Nardo, thanx for the tip. Looks like browsers do not like it, because “css.php” defines the output as a Style sheet.

Well, I’m not a purist, but I’m trying to become one. I thought I’d request for a plugin before giving the “Stylesheet” approach a go :)

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
Someone was discussing a simple mod for this just a little while ago. I’ll see if I can find it.

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
Well, I can’t find it. The basic idea was you make a copy of css.php, adjust it to output the correct header, and just use the existing style manager to hold your javascript.
A plugin would be neater, though.

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
Nardo & Mary. Thanks.
I found <a href=“http://textpattern.org/tips/333/external-javascript-in-txp”>this</a>. Looks like I’m not the only one who requires a JS manager (see the comments). It would be really cool if a plugin could be made to manage js scripts.
Who else is with me on this?
Edit:

Nardo, It sure does work. I was only saying that browsers get suspicous and secondly it doesnt seem to validate.

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
I’d be down. It would prove really useful in upcoming client work, although, it seems just as easy to put it in a JS file.

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
Matthew, I agree with you. It is quite easy to throw in a js file. But what if you are not able to access your FTP and you want some changes in the script? Its gives you quite a headache!
So is anyone willing to work on such a plugin?

I’ll third the request. B neat, useful, intentional, and simple.

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
Thanx. I had a look at it. I have no knowledge in PHP. But I’m still gonna have go at it. So I’ll post here if I figure things out. :)

Re: Plugin Request: Javascript Manager
I do think theres a general need for this feature for all users. I think it’s just good housekeeping.
I mentioned it in April 05, and it generated precisely zero buzz here
Let’s just have another tab called behaviours and make it work like the style tab for javascripts.
