While writing a script to list the file in a specified folder on the server I wanted to remove file extension from the file name before I link it. Here is the php code that will remove the file extension.

< ? php
if(!function_exists("RemoveExtension"))
{
function RemoveExtension($strName)
{
$ext = strrchr($strName, '.');
if($ext !== false) {
$strName = substr($strName, 0, -strlen($ext));
}
return $strName;
}
}

Since reading Nick’s entry on Loading Javascript Libraries in Wordpress Plugins, I have decided to use the same techniques to get my custom Theme to load JavaScript using wp_enqueue_script().

There is two reasons why I wanted to load my custom JavaScript libraries:

1. Default jQuery library included with the latest version of WordPress is not up-to-date
2. My custom code does not work with the default version included with this release WordPress

As this is a custom theme I have a functions.php where I have defined all my custom functions. So to load the custom JavaScript.

< ? php
function my_add_js_libs() {
//Add the jquery framework to the header
//wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); // default jquery is not up-to-date
//wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src = false, $deps = array(), $ver = false );
wp_enqueue_script('my_jquery', $src = '/wp-content/themes/[mythemename]/js/jquery-1.2.1.pack.js’, $deps = array(), $ver = ‘1.2.1′ );
wp_enqueue_script(’my_core_js’, $src = ‘/wp-content/themes/[mythemename]/js/core.js’, $deps = array(’my_jquery’));
}

then make a call to the function in the header.php just before the wp_head();

< ? php
my_add_js_libs();
wp_head();

This should now load the custom JavaScript Libraries required for your themes in the sequence that WordPress decides.
