Hi Rick - apologies if this isn't the correct thread for this question:
I’ve been following the ‘Create a Responsive Skin’ course enthusiastically for several weeks and have nearly completed my website. However, I cannot access any of the videos relating to the final lesson – lesson 10. Is it just me or are they not available generally?
Thank you
Carol

Carol - Lesson 10 had some huge errors in it so I removed the videos.
Are you building your skin in Thesis 2.1?

Hi Rick - yes, I am. What a shame about lesson 10!
Mainly, I was hoping to get information about how to enqueue javascript.

First I would read the codex:
In particular the parameters and whether the script is already included in WP. The examples I do not think are going to help you.
To add to your skin you add code to skin.php, now hoping that Rick has a simple way to explain it for you.

Make sure you backup before upgrading and making changes.
Best results when one question per thread, link to site, version of WP, Thesis and skin.

Also - if you watch the Advanced Box Development seminar you will see how to enqueue javascript from within a box. This is roughly the same as doing it from within a skin except that the skin doesn't have a preload() function.
So, you set up a function for loading the script and then you call that function from within the construct() method
Something like:
// File constant for URL of the skin folder
if (!defined('BYOBPTSD1_URL')) {
define('BYOBPTSD1_URL', THESIS_USER_SKINS_URL . '/ptsd_lesson_1');
}
if(!is_admin()){
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this, 'add_scripts_and_styles'));
}
}
public function add_scripts_and_styles() {
wp_enqueue_script('imagesloaded', BYOBPTSD1_URL . '/js/imagesloaded.pkgd.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true);
}

Thank you Keith and Rick - I'll take a good look through both the Wordpress codex and the Advanced Box Development seminar.

Whilst I am sure that Rick's code is good, watch out for the curly " and curly '. From past experience they will not work.
Often happens when cutting and pasting.

Yes - please make sure you don't get "smart" quotes when you copy - this is an irritating byproduct of my continuing conflict with syntax highlighting in the recent version of the forum.
