Add javascript to template in Genesis

[van224]

Hi everyone

I need to add a piece of javascript code to all of the pages that use a particular php template. My site is running on the Genesis framework. Any idea how to do this?

Many thanks in advance

Enqueue it using the is_page_template() conditional tag.

Awesome, thanks Ren!

Will this code work if I just add it to functions.php?? I only want the javascript to be added to my template 'temp1.php'.

if ( is_page_template( 'temp1.php' ) ) {
<script type="text/javascript">SCRIPT GOES HERE</script>
}
else {
}

Using the enqueue method is the recommended way. If you need more information on the wp_enqueue_script method, visit this link:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

Wrapping the wp_enqueue_script() in the is_page_template() conditional tag will give you what you want. This means that the script will only be loaded if the temp1.php page template is being displayed. Your code should look something like:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_custom_scripts' );
function my_custom_scripts() {
	if ( is_page_template( 'temp1.php' ) ) {
		wp_enqueue_script( 'script-handle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/example.js', array(), '1.0.0' );
	}
}

Note that this would add the script to the header of your site. If you want to add it to the footer, you can add the fifth parameter of true to the wp_enqueue_script function.
