I am trying to figure out a way to add my razor modules script (js) file to the current page's header in a way that will check if it exists, only insert it once, etc.

The "old school" reference on how to do this in webforms is found here:  http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/F...

However, not having access to the page lifecycle or the page object for that matter makes this difficult.

It seems like this should be easy, but I have pounded my head against the wall long enough, time to bow to the experts.

Thanks in advance.

I understand that and have a working cshtml file, inherited layouts, etc.

I am simply trying to add a js file that the module uses to the header of the page, and do so uniquely so if multiple copies of the module are dropped on the page it doesn't get loaded with unnecessary script references.

As you can see in my original post I link to the article on how to accomplish this with webforms.

1.  Add it to the skin:  Makes the module dependent on the skin, thus not easily deployable.
2.  default.aspx.vb:  Core modification, no way, no how, for obvious reasons.
3.  simple module:  Makes the module dependent on another module, which adds more overhead than just duplicating the script.
4.  Will Strohl:  Same as #3, just that the module is written for me already.

I am really looking for a way to do this through Razor, which I have a feeling is going to involve extending the helper classes.  I am just wondering if anybody else has done the research/work yet since I haven't had the time.  I also have the feeling this is going to involve more than just extending the helper since Razor modules inherit DotNetNukeWebPage, but once again, I haven't traced the source back far enough to see if that is just an extension of WebPage that can also be overridden/added to.

I did look through most of the hackathon entries also, which are just placing the scripts inline, thus duplicating them if placed on the page more than once.

Either way I think this is something fairly core/basic for most future razor modules to have the capability of doing.  I will just have to put my razor attempts to the side until it is more mature or I have more time to dig through the source, whichever comes first.
