Using #js() in velocity template

[Paul Franky, modificado hace 14 años.]

Hi!

We're using following code inside our custom velocity template:

#js("$javascript_folder/my-javascript.js")

The resulting html code works just fine except its empty id attribute:

<script id="" src="/our-theme/javascript/my-javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Is it required by Liferay? How should we set it? Could we delete it?

Hi Paul,

I just ran into the same issue.

As far as I can tell, the LR-guys created a macro called "#js()" in the velocity file "VM_liferay.vm".

There is another macro for css files as well.

This macro is used internally by liferay and set's the script's ID to "mainLiferayThemeJavaScript" if the filename is "$js_main_file" and leaves it empty otherwise.

But: You are not forced to use this macro, you can do what the macro does by writing:

<script id="foo" src="/path/to/bar.js" type="text/javascript" />

instead of:

#js("/path/to/bar.js")
