Php and Javascript in Wordpress

winebuddy · 07-12-2009, 03:06 PM

Warriors,

I am trying to put in a line of Javascript into the header information in Wordpress - but it's written in php.

I know I have to use the "echo" command and have been messing with it for 4 hours now.

Now - I'm just plain begging for help.

The code looks like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
echo $output_line;

$seo_meta_tags = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_tags" );
if ( $seo_meta_tags == 'on' )
{
$seo_meta_desc = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_desc" );
$seo_meta_keyw = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_keyw" );
$seo_meta_author = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_author" );
$output_line =
' <meta name="keywords" content="' . $seo_meta_keyw . '" />' . "\n" .
' <meta name="description" content="' . $seo_meta_desc . '" />' . "\n" .
' <meta name="author" content="' . $seo_meta_author . '" />' . "\n";
echo $output_line;
}

---------------------------------------------------------------
That's just a small part of the header.php code and I am trying to insert a line of javascript sort of like this...

<script type="javascript"><src="http://whatever_source_is"></script>

Like I said - I have been at it for 4 hours or so and cannot get anything to work.

Any ideas?

Maybe try this?

echo $output_line;

$seo_meta_tags = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_tags" );
if ( $seo_meta_tags == 'on' )
{
$seo_meta_desc = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_desc" );
$seo_meta_keyw = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_keyw" );
$seo_meta_author = get_option( "gn_seo_meta_author" );
$output_line =
' <meta name="keywords" content="' . $seo_meta_keyw . '" />' . "\n" .
' <meta name="description" content="' . $seo_meta_desc . '" />' . "\n" .
' <meta name="author" content="' . $seo_meta_author . '" />' . "\n" .
' <script type="javascript"><src="http://whatever_source_is"></script> ' . "\n";
echo $output_line;
}

find a spot in the <head> section and paste your script code as-is. You'll want to stay out of the PHP sections. In other words, paste after the <head> tag, and before an opening <?php tag.

You don't need to be in that section you posted the code to.

If all else fails, PM me. We can fix this in a jif.

I imagine this is just a mistake in typing it out here but just incase that should be -

Code:

<script type="javascript" src="http://whatever_source.js"></script>

Steve - the entire header.php file is in php

There's no html in it - thats why I'm having such a hard time. Gonna try the fix above and then you may get a PM from me.

Thanks!

Blackwaterblog - thanks but it didn't work

Steve - PM sent

You must have a strange theme then, would you mind posting the code up to the <body> tag?

Don't think I've ever seen a WP theme with full php code for the header information before.

Here's a little preview of my theme header.php;
