Reference to JS file prompts logon

I want to reference a javascript file at the bottom of a page template.

I added the .js file under cmssitemanager / development / javascript files and then added the following to the master template (portal engine):

<script src="/CMSScripts/Custom/FOO/BAR.js"></script>

When I open the page in any browser, the javascript in the file isn't executing.

When I go to http://domain.com/CMSScripts/Custom/FOO/BAR.js I get redirected to the Kentico logon page.

I don't see how/where I can specify security for the CMSScripts directory, but the user should not have to be logged in to access this file.

Any suggestions?

Please also check the disk permissions and let us know if the issue persists. Best Regards, Sandro

RE:Reference to JS file prompts logon

We are not using Windows Authentication on this site, and the disk permissions are correct. I verified that the application pool user account has permission on the file system and I also ran the "test files" module in the site manager and recorded the following response:

Creating '~/CMSSiteUtils/TestFiles/TestFolder201424141436/' - OK

Creating '~/CMSSiteUtils/TestFiles/TestFolder201424141436/TestFile201424141436.txt' - OK

Any suggestions?

You're best bet is to use the syntax below. Kentico does URL processing on all directories unless excluded and you'd have to exclude the CMSScripts directory from processing which isn't hard but the code below is a better solution.

<script src="/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx?scriptfile=/CMSScripts/Custom/FOO/BAR.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

This will do 2 things:
1) give you a standard place to call resources from (you can get stylesheets here as well)
2) allow you to use the build-in minimization functions.
