I'm troubleshooting a site that has code inserted into the "Miscellaneous Scripts" (System -> Configuration -> Design -> HTML Head)but it is not being displayed on the frontend of the site.

If I view page source there is nothing from the Miscellaneous Scripts portion, however if I edit head.phtml and insert the code directly it appears immediately.

My question is, what code is responsible for inserting the scripts into the head portion (presumably I could copy and paste the code into the head.phtml?)and what could cause the script not to appear at all?

The code responsible is getIncludes() defined in Mage_Page_Block_Html_Head:

public function getIncludes()
{
    if (empty($this->_data['includes'])) {
        $this->_data['includes'] = Mage::getStoreConfig('design/head/includes');
    }
    return $this->_data['includes'];
}

And called in head.phtml:

echo $this->getIncludes();

A possible cause is that the miscellaneous scripts are empty when you switch the config to the store view.

Edit: seems like the real cause was that a module was rewriting Mage_Page_Block_Html_Head

  • @SR_Magento try to run grep -r "$this->getIncludes()" . on your magento root folder. Also try grep -r "design/head/includes" .

  • @SR_Magento as I say it could be because the field is empty when you change scope to the store view in the config and the Use Default Value checkbox is unticked

  • The script contents are there for each store view. Is there possibly a core module that could be disabled responsible?
