Where to put custom .js files?

Hello all.

I've got some jQuery and other custom .js files that I need to use in my Kentico site. I've tried placing them in /CMSScripts/ and then referencing them from the Master Page like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/CMSScripts/filename.js" charset="ISO-8859-1"></script>

However, the .js doesn't seem to fire. I'm not sure if I have referenced it properly.

Is there a better way to do this?

RE:Where to put custom .js files?

Hi Christopher,

Could you please let me know if you are using PortalEngine, or ASPX templates, and what version of Kentico CMS you use? Maybe the tilde character is not resolved. Could you please check this in generated HTML code of the page, eventually try to use JavaScript web part from General category to link the file with javascript?

Best Regards,

Martin Dobsicek

RE:Where to put custom .js files?

I am having the same problem.

I am trying to implement Lightview.

This is what I have pasted into the Header section of the Master Page:

<link href="~/CMSScripts/lightview.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src='~/CMSScripts/prototype.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src='~/CMSScripts/scriptaculous.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src='~/CMSScripts/lightview.js'></script>

What am I doing wrong, or is there a better way to do this?

I am using PortalEngine and am on version 4.0 of Kentico CMS.

Member	ldowdell - 5/7/2012 10:30:44 AM RE:Where to put custom .js files? Im experiencing the same thing. I'm using 6.0 and ASPX pages. Where should I place the jquery files and where should I reference them?


Kentico Consulting	kentico_borisp - 5/8/2012 2:44:30 AM RE:Where to put custom .js files? Hello, The files can be placed in the CMSScripts folder. You can reference them for example in the master page in the header. Best regards, Boris Pocatko


Member	ldowdell - 5/8/2012 8:41:49 AM RE:Where to put custom .js files? Thanks I'll try, however I have read in different forums folks trying to set the path to their script and been unsuccessful. If placed in the CMSScripts folder, what path should I use to reference it?

RE:Where to put custom .js files?

Hi,

in case of portal engine site you can insert link to the head section on the Master page tab.

For example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/CMSScripts/jquery/acordion/javascript.js"> </script>

If you use aspx templates you need to insert the code directly to your .master file, into its head section.

Best regards,
