I’m currently trying to develop a plugin that will embed a Google Earth Tour into a WP post / page via a shortcode.
The issue I am running into is that for the tour to load, I have to add an onload="init()" into the <body> tag.
I can modify a specific template file, but since this is for release, I need to add it dynamically via a hook. Any ideas?
And here’s a jQuery solution (as Mike suggested in his first comment).
function add_my_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_init_script', SCRIPTSRC, 'jquery', '1.0' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_my_scripts' );
Then add a script to your plug-in that does this:
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
init();
});
This will start jQuery in no conflict mode (if it isn’t already) and add a call to the init() method when the document is ready. It’s a safer method to use than body onready() because the onready() function can only call one thing … so no one else can hook anything to that or add custom script. It’s better to make your plug-in as unobtrusive as possible so other plug-ins don’t interfere or vice-versa.
