Calling/Creating Custom Global Functions

kphapakdy

From reading and researching through the forum I wanted to make sure that I understand correctly regarding creating custom global functions and calling them.

1) To create custom global functions, I would need to add it to c:\sahi\htdocs\spr\extensions.js. Is this the only location that I may add global custom functions? Can I have multiple .js files for differentiate between components, i.e. search.js, reports.js, etc.


2) To call the global functions I need to include it in my script, i.e.

would it be:

_include("extensions.sah"); or
_include("lib.sah"); or

Thank you.

No Kai, you can (and should) have functions in just any other sah file, and use _include to include it. Where did you see the extensions.js part? It is incorrect and needs to be corrected if it is on this website. Create multiple files for different modules/pages, and use then where necessary using _include. Keep these files normally with other sah files (eg. in the scripts folder).

Thank you. When you edit extension.js file, this is what is displayed:
