How do I enqueue a script when the short code for a View is used in a page or post?
Hi Jason,
You can just add the CSS, JS code to the view editor to run it on a page/post when you insert the view shortcode. Screenshot https://monosnap.com/file/7fmXTsK6wCfTTRI6qsJthlm8lDp5yq
I know I can write my own customs CSS there. I want to enqueue assets that are already registered. This is common in WordPress plug-ins and themes.
As you can see from this blog post, it is recommended as a best practice. https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-add-javascripts-and-styles-in-wordpress/
Hi,
The view works as a template, not a function file so it's not possible to enqueue script with a view like that. You can use the <link> tag to load the script, style file in the Template tab.
<link>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css"> View content
It is possible to enqueue an asset when a short code is present in a post, as you can see in this example: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/has_shortcode/#comment-747
There should be a way to enqueue some script when some post uses some shortcode.
Thanks for sharing the documentation.
Following that, the code would be
function add_mbview_script() { global $post; if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'mbv') ) { wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script'); } } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_mbview_script');
.
