I am just working my way through learning ModX and have created a custom input page in the manager using Form Customization. I would like to add a bit of javascript to hide/show some of the form fields depending what is set in some radio buttons.

regClientScript seems to be what is needed but I can't figure out where to add it.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Sadly he doesn't give a reason why adding code to the body element is not possible, but adding code to the head is ok.
Sorry for bumping old thread - but I guess I have an answer (sort of).
For those who come here googling, here is the reason in case if you use Minifyx (https://github.com/bezumkin/MinifyX): https://github.com/bezumkin/MinifyX/issues/18 . So the solution is either to disable minifyx_process_registered option (set it to false) or update Minifyx to the latest version (be aware of https://github.com/bezumkin/MinifyX/issues/19 though (in Russian)).
Then all of regClientHTMLBlock should begin working.]]> patchranger Jun 15, 2015, 01:13 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-526976 <![CDATA[Re: Add some JS to a manager page]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-491613

Example:
<?php
switch ($modx->event->name) {
    case 'OnDocFormPrerender': // Activated in plugin settings
        /* these works */
        $modx->regClientStartupHTMLBlock('<script>console.log("html block added");</script>');
        $modx->regClientStartupScript(MODX_ASSETS_URL.'components/help/help_header.js');
        $modx->regClientCSS(MODX_ASSETS_URL.'components/help/help.css');
        /* these don't*/
        $modx->regClientScript(MODX_ASSETS_URL.'components/help/help_footer.js');
        $modx->regClientHTMLBlock('<script>console.log("Some script block added");</script>');
        break;
}
return;


As you can see here only the first three register functions have an effect. The two below don't have any effect. Is it possible, that I need to use some other event to trigger them?

P.S. I've found a three year old bug report on jira (http://tracker.modx.com/issues/353). In this report splittingred states that regClientStartupHTMLBlock should be used instead of regClientHTMLBlock. Sadly he doesn't give a reason why adding code to the body element is not possible, but adding code to the head is ok.

I eventually, with some more research in Sencha Docs and stackoverflow, gleaned enough knowledge of EXT to get a working demo.

Thanks for your patience and help.

It may well be that the page foot is not inserted in time for the regClientScript() function to find the closing tag.

That sounds entirely possible. I am running Chrome on a Dell Dimension with XP pro, to say that Modx Manager runs slowly would be being very polite! Obviously a workstation upgrade is called for if we start using Modx seriously.]]> petejl Aug 03, 2013, 10:27 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-473928 <![CDATA[Re: Add some JS to a manager page]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-473922 sottwell Aug 03, 2013, 09:50 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-473922 <![CDATA[Re: Add some JS to a manager page]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-473920 BobRay Aug 03, 2013, 08:30 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page?page=2#dis-post-473920 <![CDATA[Re: Add some JS to a manager page]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/85913/add-some-js-to-a-manager-page#dis-post-473918
Bob - I will try it again but regClientScript() definitely did not load any js script. I was checking the bottom of the html immediately above the closing body tag. I just changed the plugin to run off regClientStartupScript() and it worked immediately.
