Comment on Zend Framework – Conditionally Load Javascript Files by Stuart

Cool. At first I was wondering what you meant but after thinking about it I realized your point is a good one. Now, because of thinking about it, I have another approach to use should such a situation arise. Thanks, Helmut!

Yeah, I guess I was thinking on the long run but in any case your recommendation is excellent.

Ahh… I see. Abstract controller would be one solution. Perhaps an action helper that handles such checking would be useful, though perhaps less robust?

Hey Stuart,

What I meant is say you have 60 controllers them all share the same configuration in the header but then you have to make a change to them because a JS file has been moved to a different area or has been deleted. Now you have to go through all 60 controllers to make the change and make sure it is done properly not making a mistake.

But I guess if you make Abstract controllers with specific settings that then can be extended that would be “better”?

Helmut :
The probability of introducing errors might be greater than using the logic to find the user’s location.

Hi Helmut, thanks for the input. How do you see this happening? It seems to me that the chance of error is equal either way. This method keeps the javascript that is specific to a certain controller paired only with that controller. Makes it easier to maintain and control and keeps the layout template cleaner. One possible solution, though, might be to create an action helper that does the conditional checking for you and then include that action helper in the init.

As this might work for 2 or 3 controllers, what happens when you have a few tenths or hundredths of controllers? The probability of introducing errors might be greater than using the logic to find the user’s location.

Comment on Make the OpenCart Checkout button stand out a bit by Sushi Shibata

Excellent tip. I had trouble locating the code, then I realized it was the wrong file! The correct path is:

catalog/view/theme/yourtemplatename/template/module/cart.tpl

(the difference: “module/cart.tpl” instead of “checkout/cart.tpl”).

Rock it!

Fuck yeah! Thanks for the tip man. Exactly what I was looking for. I actually got everything but forgot my stupid :8888!

I tried some other searches before I found this one, so I’ll keyword jam the comment for the sake of others: This works great when using Virtualbox with OSX Mac Hosts files Windows XP.
