But I've been unsuccessful in finding a way to import/load an external
javascript file in general from inside cck2.cfg. I just get "Failed to
read the configuration file". I've tried various permutations of
Components.utils.import() but since this is all new to me I don't really
know what I'm doing. Hopefully Mr. Kaply sees this and can provide some
tips.
You can use the mechanism in the CCK2 to import the file and I will just
cut and paste the contents.
Components.utils.import wouldn't really work here because the imported file
would get its own scope.
I'll see if I can figure out something.
