i'm trying to get Magento BaseUrl through javascript in head.phtml file, and then use it in jquery.hello-lightbox.min file, where i need the baseUrl to get some images.
Here's what i have in head.phtml file:
<?php $baseUrl = $this->getBaseUrl() ; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var baseUrl = <?php echo $baseUrl ; ?>
function getBaseUrl(baseUrl)
</script>
Then in /js/jquery.hello-lightbox.min i have:
(function($){
function getBaseUrl(baseurl)
{
var domain = baseurl
}
var urrl = 'http://'+domain+'/skin/frontend/default/customtheme/images/lightbox/';
$.fn.lightBox=function(settings)settings=jQuery.extend({overlayBgColor:'#000',overlayOpacity:0.8,fixedNavigation:false,imageLoading: urrl+'lightbox-ico-loading.gif',imageBtnPrev:urrl+'lightbox-btn-prev.gif', . . . . . . . . . .
But this doesn't work. In fact it seems like i can't even pass the php variable $baseUrl to var baseUrl in head.phtml
Do you have any ideas?
There are syntax errors in your main code. I think what you want is to define a function that returns the base URL like so:
<?php $baseUrl = $this->getBaseUrl() ; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getBaseUrl() { return '<?php echo $baseUrl; ?>'; }
</script>
then use it in JavaScript: (get rid of the function getBaseUrl(baseurl) ...
stuff there)
var urrl = 'http://'+getBaseUrl()+'/skin/frontend/default/customtheme/images/lightbox/';
