PrestaShop 1.6: module not displaying javascript

[shopapps]

Hi,

 

I have an odd behaviour going on and was wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar and hence how to resolve it.

 

i have a module, that is hooked to the footer.  It worked perfectly in 1.5  but doesn't display any script content in 1.6????

 

I have eliminated all the code and broken the footer.tpl file down to only contain:

{debug}
// before
<p>hello world</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var x = 1;
</script>
// after

when I do  view-source in only see:

// before
<p>hello world</p>

// after

I see no errors in my syslog,php log or webserver error logs. 

 

the calling function:  hookDisplayFooter($params)  contains some code the key bit of which is:

$data 		= $this->_getFrontData();
$page_data 	= $this->_GetPageData($params);
		
$this->smarty->assign(array(
	 'data'		=> $data
	,'img_path' 	=> $this->_path . 'images/'
	,'l' 		=> $this->context->language->id
	,'module_name'	=> $this->name
	,'params' 	=> $params	
	,'page_data'	=> $page_data
));
return $this->display ( __FILE__, 'footer.tpl');

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

thanks.

Further to this, I have now discovered that actually, PrestaShop 1.6 is stripping all JavaScript code out and moving it to a separate location under a single:

$(document).ready( function() { 

});

I can understand why this can be handy from a timing perspective for some external script loading.  However where not required, does anyone know how to disable this default behaviour?

Try turn off javascript cache. Disable JS Smart Cache on admin tab Advanced Parameters >> Performance.

Hi,

 

There's a little bit more to it than that I'm afraid.  Its actually a new policy that PS1.6 have globally introduced with no current method to stop it happening.  However as per this post:

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/315798-no-html-allowed-in-blockcmsinfo/?p=1699727

 

They have recognised the need to not do this, so have introduced a workaround for one of the later releases....   very disappointing it was introduced in the first place, but there you go! 

 

I'll go ahead and mark it as solved, although it's more like resolved.
