<jdoc:include type="head" /> causes error:

Post by SocketPup » Sun Apr 07, 2024 7:50 am

In my index.php of my custom template, I use the following code for my Head:

Code: Select all

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Your Website Title</title>
    <jdoc:include type="metas" />
    <jdoc:include type="styles" />
</head>
This all works well, but I learned there is a special Head for Joomla:

Code: Select all

<jdoc:include type="head" />
However, when I tried to implement it like so...

Code: Select all

<head>
    <jdoc:include type="head" />
</head>
...my page no longer works, instead I get the error:
0 - WebAssetManager is locked, you came late
What's causing this, and how do I fix it?

I don't know what this refers to

Code: Select all

<jdoc:include type="styles" />
I found the following resources that may be useful: https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Web_Assets, and for reference, this older post discussing the same error message: viewtopic.php?t=990772 may be of some use.

I think that <jdoc:include type="head" /> was used in Joomla 3 but was replaced in Joomla 4 by three separate include statements:

Code: Select all

    <jdoc:include type="metas" />
    <jdoc:include type="styles" />
    <jdoc:include type="scripts" />

I see. Maybe I should keep it as is then.

I need to use that line in order for my custom css to be added into my index.php (just referring to it in the xml doc does nothing)
