I am trying to use Requirements::javascript to load in my .js files. For some reason silverstripe is loading all the files twice any time I use Requirements::javascript.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Here is my code:

function init() {
$themePath = 'themes/' . SSViewer::current_theme() . '/';
Requirements::javascript($themePath . 'js/JAIL.js');

parent::init();
}

I'm getting the same result when I try to use Requirements in page.php as well.

Thanks!

2 things to try...

1) move the parent::init to the beginning of the function
2) add a Debug::show('test') to ensure that the code is only called once

thanks swaiba.

I added a Debug test and it seemed to confirm that Page_Controller was only being called once. I also added the parent::init call at the top of the function, but still having the same issue. Any files inserted into the page through the Requirements::javascript method are being added twice - Requirements::customScript, Requirements::javascript, etc. Oddly, Requirements::css is not exhibiting the same behavior.

All other elements of my footer are only being inserted once (</body>, </html>, etc) so I don't think it is a matter of including my Footer twice.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks again!

Oddly enough, I removed my html5 <header> element in my header and replaced it <div id="header"> and that stopped the double inclusion of Requirements::javascript files.
