Default Need to add JS to <head> tag
I'd like to add this to my <head> tag for all pages...

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/custom.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://mysite.com/custom.css" />

I've been searching this forum for well over an hour and I just can't seem to find success. I thought I had it when I found out about common_files/meta.tpl. I've been trying to alter that file, but the changes I'm making don't seem to be showing up.

Anyone lend a hand? Many thanks!

You can add to skin/your_skin/customer/service_head.tpl, if that file doesn't exist in your skin then common_files

Thanks! That helped a lot. I've found service_head.tpl file (under skin/common_files/customer/) and I can definitely see that's where this business is done.

My problem now is actually loading the files properly. I don't think I quite understand the syntax of the X-Cart short code language.

In order to pull in this file as I normally would...

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://mysite.com/custom.css" />

... do I need to put brackets around the statement? Or is it necessary to phrase it like this...

{load_defer file="http://mysite.com/custom.css" type="css"}

?

Actually there's not that much code in my css file -- could I just insert some CSS straight into service_head.tpl? If so how would that be formatted?

Thanks again for sharing your expertise and suffering through my newbness!

You can insert them as you have them in the first post or using the load_defer, either way will work. Use relative paths though
