Hello, hello.

My client has a third party custom Java script that was such a pain to get to even load (I know NOTHING about Java). I got SOME feedback from the developer and tried it using the Raw Code in Cornerstone (issues) and 3 different ways in the Customizer, finally getting it to work … but now it shows up on every single page! Help!!

Also, since installing it I’m getting all kinds of error on my dashboard. 🙁 She’s adamant that this stay part of the site and I’m worried it’s going to mess up all of my work.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Please edit your page using Cornerstone, go to the settings tab, Settings > Custom JS and insert the following custom js code instead:

var url='http://motiliti.net/LiveOnPageClient.ashx?ci=8384&pi=carrie_elk_home';var tt=new Date().getTime();document.write('<script type="text/javascript" ');document.write('src="'+url+'&t'+tt+'='+tt+'">');document.write('</script>');

Please let us know if this works out for you.

Update, figured out the error messages were coming from a plugin, so no worries on that part.

Still need assistance on making java front page only if at all possible. Thank you!

[Dorothy V]

Thanks for responding so quickly. Unfortunately this did not work – if you check the site now after I made the suggested changes, the video still pops up on the Testimonials page for example.

Hi there,

The javascript is added in Customizer’s custom javascript. As suggested, please add it or move it in Cornerstone’s custom javascript. They are different 🙂

Cornerstone’s custom javascript is only applicable when editing your page content (eg. home page) in the cornerstone.

Any code added to Cornerstone’s custom javascript is only available on that page.

Thanks!

[Dorothy V]

Weird! I did that! I will try deleting from Customizer, that’s probably the problem! Sigh.

Do let us know how this goes then Dorothy.

Cheers!

[Dorothy V]

Nope, now nothing is showing up at all 🙁

Hello There,

Could please confirm that this is the correct JS code?

var url='http://motiliti.net/LiveOnPageClient.ashx?ci=8384&pi=carrie_elk_home';var tt=new Date().getTime();document.write('<script type="text/javascript" ');document.write('src="'+url+'&t'+tt+'='+tt+'">');document.write('</script>');

I have tested it and even on my local testing server, it throws in a JS error. I am guessing that there is something wrong in the code that makes it invalid.

Please let us know how it goes.

[Dorothy V]

these were the 2 options i was given by the developer:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var url = ‘http://motiliti.net/LiveOnPageClient.ashx?ci=8384&pi=carrie_elk_home&#8217;;var tt= new Date().getTime();document.write(‘<sc’+’ript type=”text/javascript” ‘);document.write(‘src=”‘+url+’&t’+tt+’=’+tt+'”>’);document.write(‘</sc’+’ript>’);
< /script>

< script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://motiliti.net/LiveOnPageClient.ashx?ci=8384&pi=carrie_elk_home&#8221; language=”javascript”>
//<![CDATA[//]]>
< /script>​

Hello There,

Because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would like to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

After the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

function add_javascript(){ ?>
  <?php if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) : ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var url = 'http://motiliti.net/LiveOnPageClient.ashx?ci=8384&pi=carrie_elk_home';var tt= new Date().getTime();document.write('<sc'+'ript type="text/javascript" ');document.write('src="'+url+'&t'+tt+'='+tt+'">');document.write('</sc'+'ript>');
    </script>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php }
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_javascript');

The code will ensure that it will only be loaded in the homepage.

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know.

OK! Now we are getting somewhere – the only problem left is that it still shows up on the BLOG (“News”) page under the media parent. But it does seem to be working on everything else!! Any ideas on removing from the blog page?

[Dorothy V]

I GOT IT!!!! For anyone else having this problem here is my code (you’ll have to edit your own links obviously)

function add_javascript(){ ?>
  <?php if ( is_front_page() ) : ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var url = 'http://motiliti.net/LiveOnPageClient.ashx?ci=8384&pi=carrie_elk_home';var tt= new Date().getTime();document.write('<sc'+'ript type="text/javascript" ');document.write('src="'+url+'&t'+tt+'='+tt+'">');document.write('</sc'+'ript>');
    </script>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php }
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_javascript');

I used what ThemeCo peeps provided, but I think the reason it was showing up on Frontpage and Blog page was the original php provided in line 2 ….

<?php if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) : ?>

By designating to both the HOME as well as FRONT PAGE, I think it directs to both rather than an “either or” because in WP we have the option to set our home page as either static or recent posts. Mine is static. But if WP pulls the same code for both types of pages, it makes sense that the script would run on both. By removing the text “is_home() ||” I was able to have the video script run on the FRONT PAGE ONLY!!

woohoooooooooo!

I still say this theme has the best support ever. Thank you all for your assistance, I just had to study what was provided and talk out my thoughts with a friend.
