[Support request] BuddyPress custom js code into GP?

[Carsten]

Hi there, I’m taking up this old topic since it’s relevant to me again

I was advised to use a hook to add this js

<script type="text/javascript">
  jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery(‘#send_message_form’).submit( function() {
jQuery(‘#subject’).val(“Some message subject”);
});
 });
</script>

But how can I add this hook with GP, the only place for hooks I know is in an element

Regards
Carsten

Try adding that in wp_footer hook in hooks element.

Hi, sorry, this is not working, would you please check the script syntax for me?

This is a js for BP, please explain how a script added to the WP_footer can influence BP content?

Should Execute PHP be marked?

[Leo]

Maybe the wrong quotation marks?

<script type="text/javascript">
  jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery('#send_message_form').submit( function() {
jQuery('#subject').val("Some message subject");
});
 });
</script>

Unfortunately I’m not sure what the code is supposed to do – this is something you will need to check with BP’s support.

wp_footer is a WordPress hook and usually is the place to add custom js code.

Execute PHP does not need to be checked.

The code is supposed to fill out a default Subject to a message.

This is the message I got from BP support, when I raised the question a while back.

You can put that in your theme’s javascript file. Look for js file in your theme.

Since it is just 2 lines of code, My suggestion will be to put it in one of the js file provided by theme. Look for a file named buddypress.js and you can put the code inside the dom ready section there. If you are using a custom theme, you may ask there(or check their documents) to see if there is any custom js file supported.

[Leo]

Definitely wouldn’t suggest adding that to the theme’s file as it will be erased during updates.

Can you check with them to see if it can be added using wp_footer hook?
