I had the same problem as you when I was trying to simply add JavaScript to
the head of all pages. All the ResourceLoader related things I tried either
didn't work or merely added it at the end of a document or as a deferred
load which didn't work for my purpose. What I ended up doing was modifying
our custom extension the following:
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'UESP_beforePageDisplay';
function my_beforePageDisplay( &$out ) {
global $wgScriptPath;
$out->addHeadItem("uesp", "<script
src='$wgScriptPath/somepath/script.js'></script>");
return true;
}
which works well enough. I assume you could add this to LocalSettings.php
instead and it would work. Perhaps someone else can tell us if there's a
"better" way of doing something like this....
