Adding JS on backend module configuration design

[30ml]

hi, I am working on getContent() here, I can include tpl file with this below code.

$this->display(__FILE__,'views/templates/admin/subscribecat.tpl')

But how can I inset JS file to for that subscribecat.tpl. I need to do some jquery stuff.

 

Thanks !!

just insert <script> 

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery/this-is-library.js"></script>

im so curious about module that you're creating can you say something more about it? 

[jgullstr]

Another way to add scripts are by calling the controllers addJS method;

 

$this->context->controller->addJS(_MODULE_DIR_.$this->name.'/js/<YOUR_SCRIPT>.js');

this code doesn't work in back office (in getContent() function)

[jgullstr]

Certainly should work (in 1.5). Note that it calls the controller, not the module.

I wanted to pointed out that you can also add js and css by using the ActionAdminControllerSetMedia hook, as outlined here

In the step named  "Properly enabling multilanguage fields in the product Back Office"

nice catch Nemo i never heard about this hook

I discovered it by chance, I needed a way to add javascript because of the missing language flags bug on new tabs really useful!
