I want to add a call for 2 external scripts in the page.tpl.php.

The scripts are:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://use.typekit.com/12345.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript">try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>

Now in D7 you can call them directly from page.tpl.php like

drupal_add_js()

right?

But I'm working on a D6 site right now.

So within mytheme directory I add to my template.php file

function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
    drupal_set_html_head('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://use.typekit.com/12345.js"></script>');
    $vars['head'] = drupal_get_html_head();
  }

It doesn't work. The page no longer loads.

So the question is, How do I get both those scripts in the head? What should the code look like? I know the real answer is learn php, but in the meantime

You should concatenate $vars['head'] no replacing it: Your code should be:

function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
    drupal_set_html_head('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://use.typekit.com/12345.js"></script>');
    $vars['head'] .= drupal_get_html_head();
}

Notice the .= after $vars['head'].

  • Thanks, that works great for one script. Now how do I add another script? add a whole new function? This doesn't work - pastie.org/2183883

  • Have you tried to put twice the drupal_set_html_head before getting it ? pastie.org/2184904

  • Another amateur php question - Is it okay that there are two - function service_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) { within the template.php file?

  • Yeah, it was a no go, but I tried this too and that didn't work either - pastie.org/2197838
