How to insert a .js file to header?

or i want to insert some js code to header, how to do that?

Make a folder inside your plugins folder. Inside that new folder, make a file called default.php and put this in it: <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) die();

$PluginInfo['InsertSomeJS'] = array(
'Description' => 'Insert some JS',
'Version' => '0.1',
'Author' => 'Your Name',
'AuthorEmail' => 'your@email.com',
'AuthorUrl' => 'http://example.com'
);

class InsertSomeJS extends Gdn_Plugin
{
public function Base_Render_Before(&$Sender)
{
$Sender->AddJsFile($this->GetResource('myJSfile.js', FALSE, FALSE));
}

public function Setup() {}
}

Now create myJSfile.js in the same directory and it will be added to the page head.
Edit to your liking of course.

thx ithcy.

but it is the only way to insert js or other code?
If i just insert some script code, such as google analytics code, how to do that?
I don't want to use the plugin because it use the old analytics code.

thx again, i am a green hand in vanilla.

ithcy

You're welcome. There's a plugin that uses the new analytics code.

such as i want to add a simply navigation bar under the vanilla's header.

thx again, you are a nice guy :-)

//This isn't what you want, but i'll leave it here in case someone wants to know how to add inline javascript.

Do the same as above, but use this as default.php instead:<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) die();

$PluginInfo['InlineScript'] = array
(
'Name' => 'InlineScript',
'Description' => 'Adds script to head of all pages',
'Version' => '0.1',
'Author' => 'Your name',
'AuthorEmail' => 'your@email.com',
'AuthorUrl' => 'http://example.com'
);

class InlineScript extends Gdn_Plugin
{
public function Base_Render_Before(&$Sender)
{
$Sender->Head->AddString
(
"<script type=\"text/javascript\">// your script goes here</script>"
);
}

public function Setup() {}
}

Actually sorry, ignore that. I misunderstood what you wanted.
What you want to do is create a theme. Take a look at http://www.vanillaforums.org/page/ThemeQuickStart for some help with that.

It doesn't work for me.

I just want to add :

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="styles-ie.css" />
<![endif]-->

Any ideas ?

ithcy

You should make a folder in your forum root called plugins/InlineScript.

This folder should contain a file called default.php.

That file should contain the code in this comment.

You see where it says $Sender->Head->AddString ? You need to replace what is inside the "" with the code you want to add. $Sender->Head->AddString("<!--[if lte IE 8]>\n<link type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"styles-ie.css\" />\n<![endif]-->");
You will need to go to your dashboard and enable the InlineScript plugin.
