Hi Thomas,

As far as I can tell, ezscript_* template operators can not handle remote JavaScript files. I guess you call ezscript_require in some special view templates to call Google Maps JavaScript only when it's needed ? In this case it would make sense, I think you should open a enhancement request in the issue tracker.

As a workaround, you can define a persistent variable in your view template and then include remote JavaScript file(s) based on it. It's just a matter of some lines of template... sorry for the without having to code anything ;-)

Cheers

Well, but ezscript_require also load jquery from google if you load it via ezjsc::jquery, right?

so, i think you can add a custom ezjscore server function and from there, output your needed javascript code.

i mean, something like https://github.com/ezsystems/ezjscore/blob/master/classes/ezjscserverfunctionsjs.php#L231

Thomas, the fact is that ezscript_* template operators want your parameter to end in ".js". So by doing this little trick:

{ezscript('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&ext=.js')}

it should work. (it worked on my site)

A note to the ezjscore author:

Why is it reqired for the parameters to end in ".js"? Could we avoid this requirement?

@Carlos : you're totally right, I've totally forgot about that feature. In this case, you'll just have to ignore LoadFromCDN setting though.

@Marko : wow that seems tricky :-) I've just tried but it does not seem to work for me on an eZ Publish 4.4 with the bundled ezjscore nor with the last git version.

Cheers

I had the same problem for my Google Custom Search Engine usage : http://recherche.fedora-fr.org/

I have used jquery for that :

$("head").prepend($('<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.google.com/cse/style/look/default.css" type="text/css" />') );

My blog : http://www.llaumgui.com (not in eZ Publish ;-))
eZC on RHEL : http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en
eZC on Fedora : just "yum install php-channel-ezc"

@Marko : wow that seems tricky :-) I've just tried but it does not seem to work for me on an eZ Publish 4.4 with the bundled ezjscore nor with the last git version.

First I did try it on eZP 4.5, but now I have tried it on 4.4 and it works too. It woks both with LoadFromCDN enabled or disabled.

Are you sure you did the exactly same thing as I did?

And there's an interesting detail...

When I enable the Packer in INI settings, and call:

{ezscript('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&amp;ext=.js')}

by itself, the the content of http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true if not included in the packed file nor it's included via the <script> tag in HTML.

But if I put http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true together with all other JS scripts in one ezscript() call, then it is included correctly via the <script> tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&amp;ext=.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Hm, maybe Andre R. could comment some more on this one...

Why did you use jquery for that?

You could have just put:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.google.com/cse/style/look/default.css" type="text/css" />

in yout HTML without any procesing by eZP.

@Marko : the packer was enabled when doing my tests. I guess Guillaume uses jQuery to be able to embed the stylesheet depeding on the page. His JavaScript line is probably generated in the full view of some special nodes, the template generates this code to include the stylesheet only when it's needed.

Yes, but think about it, there's still no need for using jQuery...

Thanks for your replies :-)

Indeed, yes I wanted to load gmap only for pages requiring it; not on all the site webpages.

I load the script asynchroneously so far (within a local JS) but there are many cases where you can call a remote script without an ending .js extension, for JS scripts or JSON-P response (like YQL, Twitter API or Webservices).

I guess the extension should check for an URI scheme, or at least, a "//" (no scheme = same protocol).

Hi,

Should you think what you are blocked by is a bug or would benefit from a request for enhancement on eZJSCore, i encourage you to report it there : http://issues.ez.no/ezpublish (select the right component in the right-column : eZJSCore).

Cheers,

Yes, issue created: http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=18167&activeItem=1

Workaround is (as mentioned) to append ".js" using querystring.

Thanks for the patch, it works well for me !

I can now clean all the ugly code...

{* TODO: load this in the <head> section *}
{run-once}
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
{/run-once}

thanks again
