Continuing the discussion from How do I insert javascript into the footer?: In Footer of the Discourse UI I am trying to get javascript to run but it does not and there are no errors. It’s as if it just isn’t present. console.log("anything"); This is in Footer, nothing console.logs. It is Enabled, too.

Looks like a bug… I just tried it with both JavaScript and normal content and neither appeared: [image]

Hmm can we repro this @techapj?

Looking at the code by which footer is inserted, I believe it’s not possible to insert JavaScript via Footer and Top. The only sections which supports injecting JavaScript are Header, and .

How is one to include a JS script that is run after the page has loaded (and keep in mind it can’t be done with a document ready. It needs to be in the footer.

Hello. Is there any update on this issue? I am also trying to include javascript code in top/footer but it is not working. What I want to do, is insert (for example) google adsense or AdTech tags in Top/Footer, but it seems that the script is not executed. In Header (Customize → CSS/HTML → Header), however, the script is working as expected. Can you please fix it? Thanks, Ilias

If I add the same script to Header (Admin / Customize / CSS/HTML / Header) and Footer (Admin / Customize / CSS/HTML / Footer), it is working only in Header, that’s what I’m saying. You can try this out yourself. I just did the test with default Google Adsense tags, but you can test it with any simple script, for example: alert("script executed"); In “Footer” this will not popup the dialog, whereas in “Header” this will work. Thank you, Ilias

The lifecycle of our application is very different to what a traditional webpage is. There are hooks in Ember you need to use if you need code to run On initialization On page transition When a route is entered When a component is rendered and so on. The to make XYZ work put the following “snippet” in your HTML footer concept make no sense for a single page application.

This is happening to me today. When I insert a Javascript on the section, I just cannot save. v1.8.0.beta5 +211
