$config->scripts, how to add scripts at the top and the bottom of template?

[NorbertH]

If i have a template that requires scripts added in head  and at the end of body.

Do you have any idea how to handle this whith $config->scripts.

Another point is how to handle if its necessary to add not just files but small scripts that need to be added at the head or bottom.(like google analytics).

Is there something like :

$config->scripts-bottom

$config->scripts-direct

Maybe there is a way to make such an array, besides from silmply creating the var.

You could make your own:

// a filename array for scripts in the head (make the name you wish)
$config->headScripts = new FilenameArray();

// a filename array for scripts in the bottom (make the name you wish)
$config->bottomScripts = new FilenameArray();

// add scripts to the head FilenameArray
$config->headScripts->append('/your/wished/path/head.js');

// add scripts to the bottom FilenameArray
$config->bottomScripts->append('/your/wished/path/bottom.js');

Is there something against abusing it this way ?

// a filename array abused  for plain scripts 
$config->headScripts = new FilenameArray();

// add scripts to the  FilenameArray
$config->headScripts->append("jQuery('a.gallery').colorbox(); ");

// this one s added in main.php
<? foreach($config->headScripts->unique() as $script) echo "\n\t<script type='text/javascript'>$script</script>";?>

I think only the issues with hit every inline scripts. No caching.

Just use RequireJS and in each page just load the scripts you need KISS because that method above doesn't handle dependency of libraries unlike RequireJS
