[SOLVED] Forumotion: JavaScript Limit

**SLGray** · **SLGray** Tue 17 May 2016, 14:30

I was wondering since there is a limit of 50 JavaScripts on Forumotion, can we have 2 or more different JavaScripts in the same JavaScript as long as the effect the same areas?

@SLGray yes, you can include as many scripts as FM's character limit allows in 1 JS file.

For example, most scripts start with a document ready event ( this is jQuery's ) :

Code:: $(function() { console.log('Ready !'); });

So, you can just copy and paste one script after another like so :

Code:: $(function() { console.log('Ready !'); }); // another script $(function() { console.log('Ready again !'); }); // yet another script $(function() { console.log('Ready yet again !'); });

Or combine them since they all execute when the document is ready :

Code:: $(function() { console.log('Ready !'); // another script console.log('Ready again !'); // yet another script console.log('Ready yet again !'); });

and you can use comments to keep track of what's what.

Thanks for the answer and information, @Ange Tuteur.

I have noticed that my forums load faster now after I combined the JavaScripts.

Mind you, you can only combine scripts into one if they're using the same placement Wink

So you'll be ending up with only, what, 5 or 6 JS...

And it would be good practice to add comments as to what each script is and is doing @slgray

That should help since sometimes the scripts are split into separate JS files, like this :

and that means you need to send a request to get these files. So more files == more requests, which means slightly longer load times.

Hello,
@Ange Tuteur is to better to group the javascripts depending their placements into one javascript instead to have them as separately javascripts? I am thinking it long time ago. Will this reduce the load time?

**Ange Tuteur** · **Ange Tuteur** Wed 18 May 2016, 11:45

Well technically, yes, there'd be a small improvement in load times, especially if there's a lot of files that have to be retrieved. In Chrome you can go to the sources tab, reload the page, and it'll show all the js / css files that were loaded on the page. You can also use the network tab too, to see how long some resources take to load.

OMG!

I have a lot of work I must group a lot of javascripts to improve the load time. Sad

lel! Oh that's what you meant when you said 'evil programming'... Laughing

Well, I'll be off now. I'll be checking on AvacWeb sometimes at the most for today.

Enjoy, all!

Hello

I understand that you have to group them by where they directed: homepage, topics, sub-forums, etc.

Yes exactly @SLGray. Wink
