Defer inline Javascript

  • The plugin works flawlessly but it gave me problems when I moved the loading of jQuery to the footer.

    If I do that, this script is executed BEFORE of loading jQuery:

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  var q2w3_sidebar_1_options = { "sidebar" : "sidebar", "margin_top" : 10, "margin_bottom" : 0, "screen_max_width" : 1007, "width_inherit" : true, "widgets" : ['text-31'] };
  q2w3_sidebar(q2w3_sidebar_1_options);
  setInterval(function () { q2w3_sidebar(q2w3_sidebar_1_options); }, 1500);
});

    I fixed it lowering the priority in q2w3-fixed-widget.php:57.

    On the other hand, I have found this article which explains how to pass parameters to a external script (this way we wouldn’t need this inline script): https://ottopress.com/2010/passing-parameters-from-php-to-javascripts-in-plugins/

    It would be great if you can add one of these changes ??

    Thanks a lot!

  • I’m also having a hard time getting it to work when loaded in the footer.

    I will take a look at your second solution! Did you get it working the ‘nice’ way?

    Thanks for sharing.

    I have not tried it yet because I don’t like to mess with plugin’s code, but maybe I will try soon and share it ??

    I agree with you on that!

    But… I also don’t want to move jquery to the head, just because of one plugin!

    Maybe another way to fix it would be to copy the inline javascript the plugin generates to a js file and enqueue it after the plugin file.

    Agreed! ?? That’s why I just patched it lowering the priority of the action which injects the javascript code.

    I like your idea! However, I think it is not possible because the generated code uses the parameters from the plugin settings, but if it is ok for you to hardcode the values, is sounds good!

    Said that, I’m no expert in web programming, so please, correct me if I’m wrong ??
