Is it possible to add external javascripts directly into the .info file of a theme?
e.g scripts[] = http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.2.6/jquery.tools.min.js

Are you just seeking to add the CDN version of jQuery Tools to your theme, or are you explicitly asking whether can be done from a theme's .info file?– mpdonadio ♦Commented Jan 9, 2012 at 21:17

It is explicitly to add external javascript to the .info file– JurgenRCommented Jan 10, 2012 at 7:38

So you wanted to add it to the .info file and you accepted an answer that doesn't talk about the .info file at all and shows the drupal_add_js method?– mpdonadio ♦Commented Jan 10, 2012 at 11:49

Yes if it doesn't work in the info file I'm glad with the best possible solution.– JurgenRCommented Jan 10, 2012 at 12:55

In your theme's template.php file use drupal_add_js() to the page preprocess method (or an equivalent preprocess).
function hook_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
drupal_add_js('http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.2.6/jquery.tools.min.js', 'external');
}

I get a javascript error when using this function, when i put the script inside (footer) html.tpl.php it is working.– JurgenRCommented Jan 10, 2012 at 9:23

What error? Does Drupal output the correct looking script markup when using this function if you check the source code? Commented Jan 10, 2012 at 9:28

Adding the options array fixed it. Guess it was a problem with weight. drupal_add_js('cdn.jquerytools.org/1.2.6/jquery.tools.min.js', array('type' => 'external', 'scope' => 'header', 'weight' => 10)); Thnx!– JurgenRCommented Jan 10, 2012 at 9:37

@Jurgen
drupal_add_js()accepts also a string as second parameter; in that case, it is considered as the "type" index used from the$optionsarray. If you need to set other options, then you have to use an array.– avpaderno ♦Commented Jan 31, 2012 at 18:29 -
The method of adding javascript depends on for what you are adding javascript for. There are different ways to add js.
By defining in the theme.info file.
Adding it inline.
Adding an external js file.
You can add a js info file with this simple line of code
scripts[] = js/myscript.js
Or you can use the php function provided by drupal drupal_add_js
This functions lets you easily add a JavaScript file or helps in setting an inline code to any page in your theme and it takes 5 parameters (you see it in the api reference).
There is an detail post on this here.
