Description

« Hide

Any javascript that a question type wants has to be written inline in the HTML. It would be better if each qtype was allowed a .js file that was automatically loaded by any page where that qtype was displayed or edited. (We should also ensure that YUI is always available to qtypes).

Why you can't insert link to .js in display.html?

This was already fixed by the require_js function in lib/ajaxlib.php which is part of Moodle 1.8. Cool.

However, I will add a bit to the base question type, so if you have a script.js or scripts.php file in your plugin, it will automatically require_js them for you!

To use this, you just need to put a script.js or script.php file in the question type folder. If you want to do something more complicated, override the get_html_head_contributions method defined in the base class (or just use the require_js function elsewhere in your code).
