Can Quick Total script be linked rather than embedded?

[barback]

This is my 4th Squirrel Cart site, but the first where I've needed the Quick Total module.

I'd prefer linking to the code rather than having it load as part of the page (SEO concerns re: all that script code before you get to any content)

Is that possible?

Thanks!

Hi Barb,

We don't have any support for linking to an external JS file for that. We will be doing so in the future.

I know it has been quite some time, but I have been able to at least compress the JS dynamically using JSmin or Dean Edward's Packer (your choice).

It is a change strictly within the store.php file. But does require a few server prerequisites to function correctly. Reductions have been about 30-40% on the inline <script> calls. It doesn;t remove the script to an external file, but at least shrinks its footprint before actual page content is encountered.

All of my tests have come out positive as to it working correctly and completely. You can see the example of this at: www.coastalrugs.com/webstore/

I opted for JSMin to avoid the eval() function. The individual <script> tags were left as discrete entities in case there was some code that relied on its specific order on the page.

Leave a reply if you're interested and I will post the details.

FYI - Version 3 will have all storefront JS in external files.
