Add a second functions.php or insert functions into custom single template?

  • I would like to add javascript to a single post custom template (doing the single post template, etc, is already done).

    I don’t want to add javascript to my functions because I don’t want to add it to the page load. My site doesn’t use javascript in general.

    However, I want to display some javascript (an API for a type of Google Map tracker) on one of my posts. I don’t know how to do this, and I’ve tried various ways.

    I think I need to add javascript in a js folder and load it, but I would like to know how to either A) load it right from my custom single page without adding it to a functions.php at all, or B) on my custom single, load a secondary functions.php and load my javascript though that.

    If anyone has an even better solution, I’m open to that, too (trying to avoid plugins though as much as possible).

    Thanks

  • Why not just add this to your functions file?

    function your_function() {
$postid = get_the_ID();
 if ( $postid = 55 ) {
   echo 'insert javascript here';
 }
}
add_action('wp_head', 'your_function');

    This will check for the appropriate post ID (I’ve chosen 55 as an example) and if it’s that post, it will echo the JavaScript into the <head> of that post.

    (Alternately, if it’s a lot of JavaScript, you can add it to a separate file and enqueue the file instead of echoing the JS.)
