Site Wide Javascript

**traders** · 17 Nov 2007, 02:28 PM

I want to add some javascript that works site wide, it is a mouse trailing script. Not sure which page to add to. I tried adding to the english.php page above the <?psp tag, but it trashed my file.

Not sure what page to add to, and where in the code it should go to avoid a conflict.

If you take a look in the docs folder that comes with the release package, there's a file in there that explains how to name javascript files and where to place them to have Zen Cart automatically pick them up and include them.

Thanks, I did try that. I created a folder in my template folder called jscript and tried the site wide jscript, it would not work.

then I tried making a folder called jscript/on_load
and adding a file on_load_name.js, then i put my code inside that file, but again it would not load.

It is either my js code or I am not performing the task correctly.

It certainly works. I use it regularly. Do you have a link to your site? And what are you naming your files?

http://desoto.websitewelcome.com/~penney/ is the site link

the javascript is posted here:

http://www.practiceboard.com/?7791938

I named the file:
/includes/templates/penney/jscript/on_load/on_load_cursor

I placed ALL of that script on the practiceboard into the file on_load_cursor, and I think that is where I am going wrong.

OR after i load that there, am I supposed to go someplace else and make an entry in a file to tell it to load the script in on_load_cursor, I thought from what I read it would be automatic if I had done the script correctly.

does your file have a .js extension on the filename?

There is no need to go anywhere else, just, as Dr Byte is gently hinting, name the file correctly by adding .js to end and Zen Cart will load it automatically.
