Unable to include javascripts and Font files placed in WEM Server 8.5

Hi,

I am facing a peculiar issue, I have placed few javascripts in my theme, and when I try to include them on my page through a script, they give me 403 (fobidden) status code on my preview (if I am not logged in.)

The same applies for my font files too.

For now I have packaged the script files and fonts in my project code, and accessing that using the context root.

But I really want to keep my script files and font files seperate to avoid doing a build for a tiny scripts change.

The script I use to include .js files along with .css from my theme (css load fine, only .js files cause an issue)

<%
    for (String themePath: themeFilePaths) {
        if (themePath.endsWith("print.css")) {
            out.write("<link href=\"");
            out.write(themePath + "\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"print\" />\n");
        } else if (themePath.endsWith(".css")) {
            out.write("<link href=\"");
            out.write(themePath + "\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" />\n");
        }
        else if (themePath.endsWith(".js")) {
            out.write("<script src=\"");
            out.write(themePath + "\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>\n");
        }
    }
%>

For previous version of vignette (8.0), this worked fine, and this is the issue i faced with the new system.

This is expected behaviour. On preview, you need to login to load js files as they use file_source/ as the context. On delivery, you will never get this issue.

Hi, Just one question, now do i need to alter all my URL's to include file_source before them?

Images which are loading from a hardcoded url (from css etc )from the server, now are loading if i pre-append file_source to the URL?? Otherwise they do not load.

Will my images still load in delivery stages if I have file_source in the URL??

Regards,

Neha

Hi Neha,

I don’t understand why you hardcoded file_source in css files. The images which are referred in css file must be relative not absolute then you don’t need to hardcode file_source.

You should always use <templating:contentLink /> tag to build the links on the site which internally uses URL path prefix which is configured for each stage. On mgmt. stage, the url path prefix value will be /file_source whereas on delivery you can use any name.

Hi,

Yes, you are right, but at few places the images do not load unless I append file_source before it?

I am talking about the images loading from css files, for the rest m using the contentLink to make the desired URL

Any thoughts?
