1.3.8a - Where do i add custom js for home page only?

[Stuff4Toys]

Which file do I edit to load these .js files for the home page only.

What PHP syntax would I use to get it to print:

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/rockslideshow/rokslideshow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/rockslideshow/mootools-release-1.11.js"></script>

in the header for the home page only?

THANKS

You would edit /includes/templates/your_template/tpl_header.php.

<?php
if ($this_is_home_page) { ?>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/rockslideshow/rokslideshow.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/rockslideshow/mootools-release-1.11.js"></script>
<?php 
} ?>

AWESOME I will be able to try this on my test site tonight. If that works, I will create a mod/add-on for Zen-Cart using http://www.rocketwerx.com/products/r...eshow/overview a really nice little slideshow program.

If you're going to create a contribution/addon, then do it using overrides, without editing core files:

Don't touch tpl_header.php

Instead, create a new file to put that code into:
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_my_special_slideshow.php

You can find more documentation on autoloading javascript in your /docs/ folder and in the wiki.

That worked COOL DrByte.

My lack of wisdom on this matter is really showing. I created the file like you said, put the code in from gjh42 (THANKS) and it loaded great, I think...

Still not getting the script to work.

Take a look http://www.langeshome.com/KERUSSO/ is there a way to tell if the java scripts are actually loading into memory?

Just rename your javascript files to begin with the word 'jscript_' and place them into the respective directories which you want to load either on a per-page or site-wide basis.

For your case, as you want your javascript to load only for the index/home page, you can do something like this:

• includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_rokslideshow.js
• includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_mootools-release-1.11.js

If done correctly, refresh your browser and go to the store's index/home page and view source. You should see the following two lines of code in the head section of the html.

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_rokslideshow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_mootools-release-1.11.js"></script>

As DrByte suggests, you can read more about this in the following file of your Zen Cart installation.

• docs/read_me_jscript.html

It seems the files are loading properly.

However, if they're not "doing" anything for you, what are you missing that's supposed to "trigger" something to start some sort of effect?
