ReReplacer doesn't work in <script></script> tags.

Fabio Donna

Hi, I'm trying to use ReReplacer 12.8.3PRO in <script></script> tags but it doesn't work.

This is my situation:

<script async src="/pathtomyscripts/scripts.min.js?v={replacer lastupdate}"></script>

should be replaced by

<script async src="/pathtomyscripts/scripts.min.js?v=202306141734"></script>

but instead this one is produced:

<script async src="/pathtomyscripts/scripts.min.js?v=%7Breplacer%20lastupdate%7D"></script>

Please note that the same "trick" works for other tags:

<style>@import url('/pathtomyscripts/master.min.css?v={replacer lastupdate}');</style>

correctly outputs

<style>@import url('/pathtomyscripts/master.min.css?v=202306141734');</style>

Would you help me please?
Thank you very much!
Regards

It is probably due to the system plugin ordering. Try changing the ordering of the plugins in question.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I've tried to move ReReplacer system plugin to first position (and cleared cache of course) but the result has not changed.
Just to be sure, I've also tried to move it to last position with same results.

I could try and look into it... but why not use Joomla's own methods to add scripts with the media version?

$wa = \Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->getDocument()->getWebAssetManager();
$wa->registerAndUseScript('myscript', '/pathtomyscripts/scripts.min.js', ['version' => 'auto'], ['async' => true, 'defer' => true]);

Thank you for your suggestion but the method I used can be easily modified by others simply changing the head section in template's editor (Helix Ultimate) while changing php code is much more "delicate".

Thanks!!!

Can you give me (super) admin and (s)ftp access so I can take a look?
And tell me on what url I can see/reproduce the issue.

So where excactly do you place these <script> tags? Where in the administrator can I find this?

So I think I found this. It looks like Helix is parsing that text before pushing it on to the plugins. So ReReplacer never gets to see the original {replacer lastupdate}.

You could update your replacement to simply also handle '%7Breplacer%20lastupdate%7D'.

Sorry, I've read your last answer later. Yes, I've done what you suggested and it works.
Thank you!
