Managing Javascript Files in LR7
New Member Posts: 14 Join Date: 2/14/20 Recent Posts
Hello everyone!
I have a very simple question, though I have got a feeling that the solution will not be that simple:How can I define globally available .js files in LR7?What do I mean by globally? We come from Liferay 6 and we had some .js libraries included in a hook, which basically does nothing more than adding the js files to html/js/
path in the deployed application. All we then had to do was adding the files to the porta-ext.properties property javascript.everything.files= and we were done.

Now this property still does exist in LR7 (javascript.everything.files=), but where and how do I have to place my javascript files in order for them to be appended to everything.js in /html/common/themes/top_js.jsp?
Best RegardsRobert

We always just added such things to our theme, but maybe a theme contributor could solve your requirement:

Hi Christoph!Thank you for the link. Though it might not provide the exact same functionality as the hook in LR6 it still is pretty much what I am looking for.I am still wondering though why the propertyjavascript.everything.files= 
Still exists if it can be overwritten like in LR6.
