Portal customization - how can I include another .js file from CustomSpace

Dann_Michelson

I want to add a second .js file to my CustomSpace that will sit alongside custom.js. How would I tell Cireson to include this file?

Marc-Andre_Lafleur

In my custom.js file, I use this to include other files :
$.getScript("/CustomSpace/CustomTasks/otherfile.js");

I think that'll work. It would be great if I could add it without feeling like I'm using a "backdoor" method but this will do it.

I'd almost setup gulp to compile and minify into custom.js instead of that being the source code itself...

Thanx for information. If using that code in the custom.js to call another.js, is there a way to only call the another.js if the session user is an analyst?

Martin_Blomgren

@Eugene_Rack, use the global variable session.user.Analyst

For example at the top of in your another.js:

if (session.user.Analyst === 0) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return;<br>}

Or in custom.js when loading your another.js:

if (session.user.Analyst === 1) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $.getScript("/CustomSpace/another.js");<br>}

@Eugene_Rack, answering here instead of PM in case someone else is hitting the same problem.
Please note that the global session variable isn't available before the DOM is loaded so make to wait for it to be ready!

$(document).ready(function (){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (session.user.Analyst === 1) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $.getScript("/CustomSpace/another.js");<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>});
