UseBB Community

I would like to be able to use javascript code in the tpl's as it doesen't seem to work now it just show up an error.at the moment. The reson is that i want to use a pop up link but i can't find any other way than using javascript for this.

Regards

Why doesn't it work? Have you tried 0.7?

i haven't tried 0.7 (you mean the CVS version right?) but in 0.6a it shows up this error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/jiraiya/usebb.jiraiya.se/start/templates/J-Designs/global.tpl.php on line 124

Must be because you are breaking the string encapsed with single quotes... Normally JavaScript works, but some small fixed were put in CVS so it now even works very well in a post if you are able to post HTML.

but is it smart to use CVS for your community? Doesen't it get hard to upgrade and so on

For the moment I don't think there's a problem, but of course 0.6 is recommended, just in this case to test if stuff works. But I'm sure you just broke the string the template is in. You'll need to escape the single quotes in your Javascript.

but i'll test the CVS.. but isn't it possible to add javascript code to a singe .js file and have an include javascript.js or something

Sure it is, but still it should work in the templates themselves too.

ok i use a code like this

<A HREF="http://site.se/popup/" TARGET="popup" ONCLICK="window.open('http://site.se/popup/', 
'popup', 'width=804,height=384'); return false">Enter popup</A>

i haven't tried 0.7 yet though..

Well you're using single quotes that need to be escaped...

what do you mean with single quotes?

<A HREF="http://site.se/popup/" TARGET="popup" ONCLICK="window.open(\'http://site.se/popup/\', 
\'popup\', \'width=804,height=384\'); return false">Enter popup</A>

This is what you need.

oh thanks man. I undetstand about the single quotes now and it helped me with some other stuff as well
