Macro syntax for concatenating JavaScript files

James Jarrett asked on December 4, 2014 21:58

Is there a Macro syntax for concatenating JavaScript files like there is for CSS?

For example (CSS): /* #CSS Includes# */

/* jQuery plug-ins */ {% CSS["jquery.more"] #%}

/* FSC Specific Styles */ {% CSS["academics"] #%} {% CSS["student-life"] #%} {% CSS["about"] #%} {% CSS["financial-aid"] #%} {% CSS["admissions"] #%}

I don't believe there is (I may be wrong on this as well). Only reason I don't believe there is, is because the javascript files are physical files and aren't stored or processed like a regular Kentico database driven stylesheet is. This would be assuming you are using the database driven stylesheet vs. a stylesheet physically in the file system.

I figured the answer was probably no when I couldn't find anything in the docs.

As a general rule I like to keep everything in Kentico and manipulate it from the CMS UI. I can create a single concatenated file outside of Kentico and add it to the CMS easy enough though.

Thanks Brenden.

Yeah unfortunately thats where the JS files differ from CSS. It would be ideal of they could be just like CSS but not sure that is possible quite yet.
