javascript is being called twice - richb201 - 05-18-2019
I managed to get my javascript routine to run. I put the code to call it in in the _construct
$this->load->js("/js/javascript_funcs_extensionloaded.js");
The code is:
var editorExtensionId = "lamacgnkfoiknjpleghfknfigbmhdaei";
if (chrome && chrome.runtime && chrome.runtime.sendMessage) {
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(extensionId, 'snapshot_mode');
}
I am finding that this code is running twice. The way I know this is that the Extension is getting the message "snapshot_mode" twice. Should I be wrapping this js code in
$(document).ready(function(){
? Or is the problem that I am calling it in __construct()? I want the js code to run just once per initialization of my code.

@richb201,
There are multiple ways to do it. I would not put it in the construct. You could try it in the actual page method/function or directly in the view. Your choice.

I put it in the first screen in the controller. But it still gets called twice. I do want to wait until after a successful login. Is there someplace to put the call to only let it happen once?

@richb201,
You could put it in the view. The header or footer part of the view.

I got it going and I am posting this for the next guy trying to use .js with ci.
I created a view that has:
script language="javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
var editorExtensionId = "lamacgnkfoiknjpleghfknxxxbmhdaei";
// Make a simple request:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(editorExtensionId, "snapshot_modeb",
function (response) {
if (!response.success)
handleError(url);
}
)
})
</script>
I am calling it in my controller when I display the first page. Here is what I use to call it:
$data = array(
'command' => 'My Title',
'userid' => 'My Heading',
'campaign' => 'My Message',
'param_1' => 'My Title'
);
$this->load->view("javascript_funcs_extensionloaded", $data);
The view has a .php extension. I haven't gotten the data passing working yet, but that is next. I my case I am passing the message to an extension also running in the same copy of Chrome.
