Add Javascript to theme

[the_raven]

Hi everybody.

 

 

I have used override in my shop to load some css and javascript on my custom theme.

 

on wamp server everything work's as well ( exept some pages that javascript does'nt load there ) .

 

but since i moved my shop from local to live server 

 

"FrontController.php" that i have made on >> override/controllers/front, cause white screen and so long as FrontController.php is Exist on server this problem persist.

i tried to attach javascript files to header.tpl but they doesn't load by this way too.

 

here is my FrontController.php content :

<?php

class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
    public function setMedia()
    {
        parent::setMedia(); // JS and CSS files
		$this->context->controller->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'jquery.easydropdown.js','all');
		$this->context->controller->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'mychanges.js','all');
		$this->context->controller->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'icheck.min.js','all');	
		$this->context->controller->addCSS(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'skins/square/red.css','all');
		$this->context->controller->addCSS(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'easydropdown.flat.css','all');
		$this->context->controller->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'jquery.tipsy.js','all');
		$this->context->controller->addCSS(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'tipsy.css','all');
		
		
    }
}

please help me solve this problem.

appreciate any suggestion

thank you

If for whatever reason the overriding does not work for you, how about adding single line with JS code into the frontController.php file?

 

Btw, have you checked whether overriding is enabled in BackOffice?

Erase your addJs and CSS, try with parent::setMedia only, does it work?

Dear Nemo,

 

as you said i changed the code this :

<?php

class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
    public function setMedia()
    {
        parent::setMedia();
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'jquery.easydropdown.js');
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'mychanges.js');
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'icheck.min.js');	
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'skins/square/red.css');
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'easydropdown.flat.css');
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'jquery.tipsy.js');
		$this->context->controller->(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'tipsy.css');
		
		
    }
}

but the problem still persist.

 

can you explain me what is the main reason that this codes works on local but not on Live server  ?

 

and can you give me some guidance for load this javascript and css files into my theme ?

i searched alot but i couldn't find a good and appropriate way to do that . even the override is not a good way in my idea , because it is separated from theme and if you move the theme you will lost some codes..

 

thank you

Try this

<?php
 
class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
    public function setMedia()
    {
        parent::setMedia();
	die('here');
		
		
    }
}

Go to cache/ and erase class_index.php.

 

See if it dies then

Try this

<?php
 
class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
    public function setMedia()
    {
        parent::setMedia();
	die('here');
		
		
    }
}

Go to cache/ and erase class_index.php.

 

See if it dies then

 

what does die do ??

finally i did "PSfever.com" advise and added single line to main frontController.php and problem solved .

 

now i have js files loaded in my shop but i recently i upgraded my shop to 1.5.2.6 and I have loosed  all the changes !! 

 

i think it can has a better way !

Die(); kills the script execution, it was just to see if the override was working
