Configuration and application

I believe I did one thing right when coding the theme. I have distinguished between javascript application and javascript configuration. Two objects are created withing WP namespace:

• Wp.bloginfo - printed by php theme configuration
• WP.theme - an application

During my read of AjaxWp instructions I have realized that all the things that Gianni Milanesi asks people to fill-in can be filled by Wordpress itself. I have created Wp.bloginfo object within header.php that is actually pronted by php.

<script>
    // Wp superglobals
    Wp.bloginfo = {
        url: ‘<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/’,
        ajax_comments_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/comments_ajax.php?comments_ajax’,
        title:’<?php bloginfo(‘title’); ?>‘,
        description:’<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>‘,
        template_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>‘,
        rss2_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>‘,
        comments_rss2_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(‘comments_rss2_url’); ?>‘,
        wp_query: ‘<?php _e(http_build_query($wp_query->query)); ?>’
    };
</script>

The application, Wp.theme object reads Wp.bloginfo as a configuration. Here is - in short application - looks like:

<script>
Ext.namespace(‘Wp’);
 
Wp.theme = function() {
    return {
        init: function() {
            // application init
        }
    };
}();
</script>

As I said Wp.theme read Wp.bloginfo as a configuration. True, if you initialize application once it is configured. To put all this together I have came up with the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo(’template_url’); ?>/js/theme.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // Wp superglobals
    Wp.bloginfo = {
        url: ‘<?php bloginfo(’url‘); ?>/’,
        ajax_comments_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(’template_url‘); ?>/comments_ajax.php?comments_ajax’,
        title:‘<?php bloginfo(’title‘); ?>’,
        description:‘<?php bloginfo(’description‘); ?>’,
        template_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(’template_url‘); ?>’,
        rss2_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(’rss2_url‘); ?>’,
        comments_rss2_url: ‘<?php bloginfo(’comments_rss2_url‘); ?>’,
        wp_query: ‘<?php _e(http_build_query($wp_query->query)); ?>’
    };
    // blank image
    Ext.BLANK_IMAGE_URL = Wp.bloginfo.template_url +‘/ext/resources/images/default/s.gif’;
    // theme execution
    Ext.onReady(Wp.theme.init, Wp.theme);
</script>
