Javascript problems

Wednesday 05 November 2003 11:58:02 pm

Hi Tore,

First of all, your server config looks good to me.

As you'll know eZP makes use of { and } as syntax for its template operators. So if you write javascript-code directly in your templates it won't work because eZP will try to parse it with it's template engine.

There are a couple of ways to get around this:

You could replace all your javascript { and } with respectively {ldelim} and {rdelim}, as this will produce the wanted character. But it will make your javascript code a mess.

Another way to do this is writing a .js file with the javascript code in it and writing a tag like

<script language="JavaScript" src="path/to/your/file.js">
</script>

So the general idea is: use js-files to put as much code in as you can, and if you need to embed js-code in your template use the {ldelim} and {rdelim} statements.

Hi Tore,

I've tried to simulate what you are doing, and I can access the .js file without problems so maybe it is your configuration after all. I've included mine, maybe this can help.

Update:

I have removed the .htaccess file altogether.
And still nothing works. Can't access any .js files.

But i still get the kernel 20 error. And when debugoutput is on i get:
Error: index
Undefined module: plain (Or whicevere folder that is standing after /design/.

I can't seem to get through this one.
Any one else experienced this problem?

I have changed the file permissions. chmod
The templates are now loaded i belive in a correct way.

But when i try to access the .js file and get it up the way you had in your link i get the front template and the following error:

Error: index
Nov 07 2003 12:37:49

Undefined module: plain

This is the Url for trying to reach the .js file with a full path.
http://scamp.tasy.no/design/plain/javascripts/gfs_construct.js

Is there anything else in the system that controlls access to a .js file other than .htaccess?
A file under the settings folder?

I am very greatfull for all the help i can get.

Regards.

When you talk about permissions.
Are you talking of file permissions in the file system like chmod 777, or are you talking about permissions inside the ez system?
for the anonymous user?

Hi again.
Im soon going to climb the walls....

I have done all work over again.

Wiped all files off design and settings directory (thank god for backups)....

Set up the new site from ground up. (As i am on hosting there is some limitations).

Created new /Settings/siteaccess/[site]
Created new /Settings/siteaccess/[site_admin]

Created the new /design/[site]/* directories.

Inserted the new pages, and got it all to work.
Except the .js files.

all the .js files and all dir's is chmod 777.
The anonymous user have unrestricted access.

The .htaccess file was checked tenfold times and it is the way it should be.

BUT: now i have tried to do it the other way araound. and have trying to set restrictions on all files except .js files.

This i have tried to do with the .htaccess file.
But nothing i do seem to have any effect.

I still can access the .gif .jpeg files. Even when i have "banned" the in the .htaccess file.

Have tried to set the path to the index.php file and playing araound with almost all the settings. Nothing have any effect on my site.

[.htaccess file]

<FilesMatch ".">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "(index\.php|\.(js))$">
order allow,deny
allow from all
</FilesMatch>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(js)$ index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php

[/.htaccess file]
