Hello,

What is the best way for plugins to include JavaScript just before the closing </body> tag?

Thanks,

Hello,

function plugin_getheadercode_pluginName() allow to include code in the header.

This function is called from COM_siteHeader and will return additional header
* information. This can be used for JavaScript functions required for the plugin
* or extra Metatags

I would like to include some code after the footer, just before
Text Formatted Code

<script src="myscript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>


Thanks,

::Ben

Ah, sorry read your question wrong.

There is no built-in plugin function to add to the footer, but maybe you can:
  • retrieve a footer template variable
  • add to it
  • re-add it to the footer using plugin_templatesetvars_pluginName

FWIW, there's already a feature request for this. It includes some patches that I haven't tried yet ...

bye, Dirk

Here I hijacked the footer's execution_time:
Text Formatted Code

function plugin_templatesetvars_pluginName($type, &$template) {
    global $LANG01, $_PAGE_TIMER;
    $exectime = $_PAGE_TIMER->stopTimer();
    $exectext = $LANG01[91] . ' ' . $exectime . ' ' . $LANG01[92].'<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>';

    if ($type == 'footer') {
        $template->set_var( 'execution_time', $exectime );
        $template->set_var( 'execution_textandtime', $exectext );
    }
}
 

Not the most beautiful solution, but it works.

If you are going to do something like that, at least do it the nice way. Just append your data to an existing value. Of course, this doesn't work if someone removes the timer display from their footer:
Text Formatted Code

function plugin_templatesetvars_pluginName($type, $template) {
    if ($type == 'footer') {
        $incl = '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>';
        $template->set_var( 'execution_time', $incl, 1 );
        $template->set_var( 'execution_textandtime', $incl, 1 );
    }
}
 


Oh, and you really shouldn't be serving javascript from a remote URL. That's just an XSS attack waiting to happen. Or worse, a non-attack to be blocked by overzealous browser plugins like Noscript.

Thanks for all these ways.

Would be great to see this feature request #906 in the next geeklog release.
