Best way to include custom javascript into Vanilla 2

patric · August 2010

I'm trying to include a custom .js file into Vanilla 2 but i don't want to modify any of the core files like class.vanillacontroller.php. Has anyone done this successfully?

Note, i found one way that worked, its not exactly what i wanted but if you include a link to your .js file in your default.master.php it will work. But i'm still looking for a way to include a .js in the theme folder...

You can add a plugin class to a theme to add the js file. Let's assume your theme is called Patric. Do the following:

Add your custom.js to /themes/Patric/js/custom.js
Create a file called /themes/Patric/class.patricthemehooks.php

Add the following to the php file:


<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

class PatricThemeHooks implements Gdn_IPlugin {

  public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
      $Sender->AddJsFile('custom.js');
  }
}

Themes are always searched for js and css files first so your custom.js will always be given the highest priority.
