Scripts pane
The Scripts pane contains all of the scripts that are used to replace data in a template, or to
modify its look; see "Personalizing content" on page762.
The scripts are stored in three groups: Control, Standard and Post Pagination, depending on
when they run (see "The script flow: when scripts run" on page863).
Note
The scripts in each of the main folders - Control, Standard and Post Pagination - are executed top-
to-bottom. They can be dragged up or down in the pane to change their order of execution. For
example, content-loading scripts (snippets with variable data, for instance) must come before scripts
that replace data within loaded contents.
The Script pane allows to add and edit scripts and to manage scripts, or instance by organizing
them in subfolders and enabling/disabling them (see "Managing scripts" on page850).
Scripts can be exported and imported via the buttons or through drag & drop between the
Scripts pane and any location on the computer.
Note
Scripts included on the Scripts pane are completely distinct from the JavaScript resources found in
the "Resources pane" on page1034 (see "Using JavaScript" on page538).
Think of scripts as server-side in the sense that they are executed through the Connect modules
(Server and Content Creation especially). Scripts have access to the whole PlanetPress Connect
JavaScript API (see "Standard Script API" on page1250), such as the record object.
JavaScript resources, on the other hand, are only executed after the content creation is done,
generally in a browser.
