Hello!

Is it X-Cart 4, or X-Cart 5?

Re: How to add statements to head section

I have tried adding a tpl via custom skin in default/en/header/parts as follows:

Code:

{**

 * Head list children

 *

 * ...

 *

 * @ListChild (list="head", weight="700")

 *}



<script type="text/javascript" src="//use.typekit.net/dap7cpb.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>

Then rebuilding the cache, but this just generates an internal error. If I comment out the script statements all is fine ....

How should I include these?

Re: How to add statements to head section

Hello Jan,

This is because the templater finds "{" and "}" and decides that it is an instruction to him that he doesn't know.

Try this:

Code:

{**

 * Head list children

 *

 * ...

 *

 * @ListChild (list="head", weight="700")

 *}



<script type="text/javascript" src="//use.typekit.net/dap7cpb.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}--></script>

Does this help?

A better way would be decorating the getJSFiles() method in the \XLite\View\Controller widget and adding a new JavaScript file that does the job on the page load.

Re: How to add statements to head section

Thanks Alex,

This did the trick but could you explain how I would go about using the other method, as I will have other javascript to add and would prefer to do it properly!

I have another question about removing the sidebars ..... but I will start a separate thread for that!

Hi Jan!

There is a guide how you can attach JS file to your module:

You can simply use Custom Skin module in order to apply this change.
