AddHeaderfiles

Adds CSS or JS in a document (at the end of the head or the end of the body) for the MODX Revolution content management framework

Features:

AddHeaderfiles is an elegant tool for MODX Revolution. With this tool the MODX regClient functions are used to insert javascript and css styles at the appropriate positions of the current page. Since those functions don't insert the same filename twice, the snippet could be called everywhere in the template, document or in chunks to collect all needed javascripts and css styles together.

Installation:

MODX Package Management

Parameters:

Name	Description	Default
addcode	External filenames(s) or chunkname(s) separated by &sep. The external files can have a position setting or media type separated by &sepmed, see note 1	-
sep	Separator for files/chunknames	;
sepmed	Seperator for media type or script position	\|
mediadefault	Media default for css files	screen, tv, projection

Examples:

Direct call:

[[!AddHeaderfiles?
&addcode=`/assets/js/jquery.js;
/assets/js/colorbox.js|end;/assets/css/colorbox.css;
/assets/css/test.css|print`
]]

shows:

...
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/jquery.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/css/colorbox.css" media="screen, tv, projection" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/css/test.css" media="print" />
</head>
...
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/colorbox.js"></script>
</body>

Chunk call:

Fill a chunk (i.e. 'headerColorbox') by:

/assets/js/jquery.js;
/assets/js/colorbox.js|end;/assets/css/colorbox.css

and call it like this:

[[!AddHeaderfiles?
&addcode=`headerColorbox`]]

Parts of the addcode parameterchain could point to chunks too (recursive). The parts of the chunks that are not pointing to other chunks or to files/uri should contain the complete <style>...</style> or <script>...</script> code.

[[!AddHeaderfiles?
&addcode=`headerColorbox;
/assets/css/test.css|print`]]

Notes:

If you want to insert external files with url parameters directly in the snippet call, some chars have to be masked. ? has to be masked as !q!. = has to be masked as !eq!. & has to be masked as !and!. These characters don't have to be masked in chunks.
