How do I include javascripts on every page?
Spanktacular - April 2, 2007 - 10:33
If I wanted to include something like the Revenge of the Menubar on my Drupal site, and I wanted that javascript, HTML, and CSS to be included into each page, what's the basic way of doing that? I've looked at pages like index.php and all I get is confused coming from a non-programming background.
Am I making it more complicated than it needs to be?
page.tpl.php
index.php is the "drupal engine". If you want to include CSS, javascript, you need to edit the template that you are using. The file /themes/template_name/page.tpl.php is the file where you can find familiar looking (X)HTML. Add your stuff here.
You might want to take a look a tthe theme handbook too: http://drupal.org/handbook/customization
Hope that helps.
Thanks very much. I've
Thanks very much. I've looked at the handbook, and some recipes (I think they were called that), that's how I decided to use story nodes instead of blog to keep my site's URL simple for blogging content since I'm the only one writing content there. But, I have to admit I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Thanks again for the friendly pointer.

It is a little bit overwhelming. You might also like to look at the drupal-dojo group. Although aimed at "grooming" drupal developers, I've found it very useful for theming things. They have extensive docs (which will be fed back into drupal.org) and screencasts of "lessons". More info here: http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-dojo
