Let's assume I have a company named Company and I'm developing a magento module named Module. What I want my module to do is simple: Add a JavaScript file to header tag of ALL pages in magento. But for some reason, it doesn't add the script in any pages.

Note: Currently I'm testing it for frontend.

Note 2::I'm using XAMPP (php 5.6, mysql 5.6, apache 2) if that's relevant.

Here is my directory tree:

Path to JS file: js/company/module/javascript.js

You can add your javascript file by adding a addJs method in page.xml file.

  • I can't edit that file. I need a way to add javascript without editing core files. I have to give this module to my customers, so adding or editing core files is NOT an option. I'll look for a way to override or extend that file. Thanks.

  • I thought to copy page.xml to your theme. You can add javascript to your layout file of your module. Reference to your root xml block then add js

  • Add the JS file somewhere into js folder and paste the following code to your XML layout file on your module <default> <reference name="head"> <action method="addJs"><script>folder/file.js</script></action> </reference> </default>
