New Zenner
Hi All,
I have a feedback module i would like to install but i am not very good with Zencart and when it asks me to add some code to the <head> and the <body> tags i don't know where i should put it.
Thanks,
Asher

What kind of code?
New Zenner
The header needs some javascript and the body some html/css
Sensei
Put the javascript inside an appropriately-named file in the prescribed folder, according to this FAQ article, and Zen Cart will automatically load the code for you. No need to touch template files.

New Zenner
anyone know?
Sensei
What page are you wanting to put it on?
What's the code you're supposed to put in the body?

I need to put the following code into the <head> section of the home page:
<script type="text/javascript">
__compete_code = 'dcafd398df98a9f097d0384b52d77295';
(function () {
var s = document.createElement('script'),
e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.src = (document.location.protocol.toLowerCase() === 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//c.compete.com/bootstrap/dcafd398df98a9f097d0384b52d77295/bootstrap.js';
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.async = true;
if (e) { e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e); }
}());
</script>
This was a request from a company I'm using to do Google Analytics work for me. I didn't know how to convert this into a .js file. If someone can convert this to a form that can be used in a .js file, I can take care of it. But if not, is there a way to add this to the <head> section of the home page?
Thanks.

One quick way to do it would be to dump all that code into a new file and upload it to your site as: /includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_compete-com.php
If it truly needs to only appear on the home page, put these two lines in the file first, and then add your code between these two lines:```
<?php if ($this_is_home_page) {?>put your code here
<?php } ?>Zen Follower
Thanks, Dr Byte. I don't think it will hurt to have that code be available on other pages as well, but I don't know how to convert my code so that it can reside in a *.js file. I can't just copy it as is, can I? Or is it OK just as it is? I think I would at least take out the <script> tags, right?
Sorry, I'm not too savvy with java script.
Sensei
If you put it as-is in a PHP file as I indicated, it will work fine. No need to use a .js file.

Thanks a lot DrByte. That worked fine. In retrospect, I see I could have just tried it, and then seen the results with a "view source". I would have seen that it worked just fine. Sorry for the extra query. I didn't grasp what you were telling me to do at first.
Sensei
No worries. If you peek at the wiki link I posted earlier in this thread you'll see more about how this works.
