You have to ECHO the code for PHP. Are you?

Like:

echo "<scr ipt>";

I just happen to be zipping around and thought i would try your first example. so i put it into the head of my page just under the first table and all i get is
= <<<_JSCODE_ _JSCODE_; echo ;
I did not change the code just cut and past.

noew i dont mess with js, but for anyone that does and doesant understand the finer points of php, it would appear that your statement
"That's it! You simply insert your JavaScript code as you use it in your HTML document and drop it in". is not quite that simple.

Yes it is. If done as I explained, using a REAL editor and not notepad or wordpad, it is that simple. The fact that your code is all on one line and mine is not shows that you haven't done exactly what I outlined Smile

Running RavenNuke 2.0.2.

I have been testing both ways to use javascripts for a module I built. The modules uses popup calandars and I inserted this in the includes/custom_files/custom_header.php file.

Code:

<scri pt language="javascript" src="cal2.js">
/*
Xin's Popup calendar script- Xin Yang (http://www.yxscripts.com/)
Script featured on/available at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/
This notice must stay intact for use
*/
</scri pt>
<scri pt language="javascript" src="cal_conf2.js"></scri pt>

But it doesn't work there. It does work when I place this at the very beginning of my header.php file.

Is there any additional include file I need in my pages to use custom_header.php? Do I need to call mainfile or something?

My header has these lines

Code:

echo "\n\n\n</head>\n\n";
if (file_exists("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php")) {
include_once("includes/custom_files/custom_header.php");
}

...so it should work in both places.

I am finishing the readme.txt for my module and came across this issue.

Getting nervous about the release, as this is my first attempt at PHPNuke module building. Embarassed

Any chance your cache might be interfering? Need to clear site cookies?

Well I cleared cookies but no help. If I put this in the header.php it works fine but shouldn't it also work in custom_header.php?

I means that is what that is for, isn't it?

It should work, you are correct.

I have not tinkered with the custom_header.php yet but you might want to put the full path to cal_conf.js to avoid any issues there.
I assume the custom_header.php file is empty by default so if you are trying to use html you will need to add the <html> tags before and after, if you are trying to load the code via php you might need to use the PHP open and close tags and echo it to the page as described in previous posts in this thread.

I think that did the trick.

Thanks

Cool!

Sorry to butt in here, but I wanted to expound a bit on the solution comments. When it comes to things like external j avascript files and css files, you always have to remember that it is the client-side (browser) that must be able to retrieve that file and parse it.

I try to avoid hardcoding full absolute references to these files (for example:

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

You lose flexibility to move things around or if you distribute code, like many of us do, we end up forgetting and distributing code with hard-coded links.

One needs to keep in mind that the links need to be relative to the script file that the browser requested. In this case, that would be modules.php and NOT custom_header.php. Therefore, the correct relative link would be "includes/myjsfile.js", if that is in fact where you physically placed that js file.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to provide more detail in case it may help others to understand better how to do this.
