Adding Javascript with a product,

[Dunhamzzz]

Hey, I'm making a pretty extensible mod for vb, and need to put some JS in the headerinclude template. It needs to be pulled from a database for each page too.

I know its probably well documented somewhere but I just can't search for it as the terms are pretty common. I'm guessing its a hook of some sort?

PHP Code:

$headinclude .= '<!-- something -->'; 


Use it at a hook just after it is fetched (style_fetch, or something similar, check it!).

No joy.
Put the following code at the "style_fetch" hook and nothing was included in the header.

PHP Code:

$headinclude.= '<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/juice/js/jquery.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/juice/js/jquery.juice.popover.js"></script>'; 


Not using vboptimize or anything.

Also, could you elaborate on "something similiar"?

Meaning check the hook location - as you found out, I was wrong. Use global_setup_complete.

ok thanks for the quick response + help

Another method I cam across used in an existing plugin was a hook at 'global_start' using the code:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['headinclude'] .= $js; 


Is there any advantage with either method? Speed/resource wise?

It doesn't really matter either way.
