wp_enqueue script problem

A new thread was necessary for this issue thanks to sevenspark for helping me out but wanting more help from him could be abusing :))

So for example in order to get jcarousel working we normally need 3 scripts to include: jquery library, jcarousel and if we want to use seperately a trigger file that would be something like config.js. when I include these 3 between <script></script> tags (in header.php file), it works perfectly. But when I try wp_enque_script method by adding the code below functions.php:

<?php function my_load_scripts(){
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );

wp_enqueue_script('jcarousellite', get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/js/jcarousellite_1.0.1.js', array('jquery'));

wp_enqueue_script('config', get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/js/config.js' , array('jquery', 'jcarousellite));

add_action('wp_head', 'my_load_scripts');

?>

It doesn’t work.. I thought it’s enough to add the code above to functions.php, what am I missing/doing wrong here?

You forgot an } bracket. You open the function my_load_scripts() but you doesn’t close it.

In addition to what BroOf said, it is probably better to use the wp_enqueue_scripts action instead of wp_head, e.g.

add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_load_scripts’);

I think I missed it while pasting I have it at my original code. but thanks for the heads up. and one more question: is that it that I have to do to enqueue scripts? I’m not missing something or forgetting calling some function somewhere (for example at header) etc ?

That’s all you have to do, plus you have to change the wp_head to something else, like wp_enqueue_scripts or init.

Thanks so much fillerspace, I hope I can figure it out.

I managed to get some of the scripts to work via deregistering and re-registering the jquery, hopefully I’ö gonna get the other ones working too, thanks guys
