I need to add a script to the header of every single page, what is the best way to do this? I got a funny feeling I'm gonna have to edit the _HtmlHead.cshtml file.

Thanks

You can do this by creating an HTML Snippet from the admin website menu. You have to drag and drop this snippet in header just like widgets.

To make this available for all available pages, you need to make sure that this is added in all page templates where different headers widget boards are used.
In the sample install there are two Headers: in Content Pages template and Checkout Pages template.

Thank you for your reply, but it's not working for me. The output must be between the <HEAD> tags, not the body.

Google Tag Manager now consist of two parts, one for the body, and one specifically for the head section.

Any other advice?

Thanks,

Note: obviously if I manually inserted into the _HtmlHead.cshtml it will work, the same probably holds true if I were to manually inserted in menu section, but I'm trying to avoid doing this manually.

Oh ok!

Then you have to the edit Base layout file in /Views/Shared folder. You can also create a partial view and call it in Head tag just like we are doing it with _HTMLHead.cshtml.

Hope this helps!

I think you can achieve the requirement without making changes in the file.

But if you want to keep the default files unchanged, you can add a .js file in the Themes folder and add the entry in Theme.config in <scripts> tag.

Yikes, this is what I'm trying to avoid.

Maybe for a future update on a new version is having under settings a universal header section that affects all pages.

Thanks

We had this in OSC.
It was called Header Tags SEO.
It allowed you to enter keywords and metatags that you could assign to any page by simply checking the boxes.

Hello Lyonsperf, AbleCommerce has the same thing, but I'm not looking per page. It needs to be universal in one place across all pages.

Modifying the base layout was the easiest thing for us to do.

Important note: AbleCommerce is still using the old Google analytical format, I believe they are moving to the new format shortly if not already done in 9.0.6, we are still at 9.0.5. However, this will become useless down the road, especially if you're integrating tag manager.

Tag manager now can receive Google analytic information, you do not need a separate Google analytic script. However, in order for tag manager to work correctly there are two parts, one for the header, and one for the body, and it is highly recommended by Google that these be at the top of these tags.

So, it might be a good idea under settings in a future version, to have a tag manager header entry and a tag manager body entry.

Thanks

The addon I was refering to in osc was universal .
In the admin you would click on Header Tags SEO and from there you were able to make changes sitewide to any page.

Unfortunately, it seems that the new owners of osc have chosen to remove all the free addons and any support for their older versions and are focusing on the new one they developed.
20 years of free contributions gone.
