Prevent News app from including js-file

Hi,

I noticed that the News app insert a reference to /Files/Templates/NewsV2/newsfunctions.js before the closing </head> tag.

Is there any way to prevent this?

It can just be an empty file, but it's still a reference to a js-file. This is a slight issue when used in email marketing, since javascript can be seen as potentially harmful by some email clients. (I'm going for a perfect score on mail-tester.com)

In DW8 you used to be able to opt for no file to be included in the paragraph setup.

 

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Martin

News i super duper deprecated! Should use items.

In your layout template you have a <!--@JavaScript--> or GetString("JavaScript") - if you remove that and include other files that might be needed manually, you can get rid of the news js.

Hi Nicolai,

thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah, its a little obsolete, but some customers are still using it.

I have no such tags in any template, but the reference is inserted anyway.

Maybe the only solution is to just switch to items :)

Best regards,

Martin

If you do not have that tag, you probably do not even use layouts but the design system from before that...?

It's a solution with a lot of history, so it is possible that it used to run the old design system. Maybe there was a setting back then that isn't visible anymore but is somehow still in effect. It's currently running 9.8.11

ok, found out that you can set /Globalsettings/Settings/Designs/IgnoreAllModuleJsAndCss to true in global settings. That will remove this js.

That's great! I was going through GlobalSettings myself, but I hadn't found the right setting.

Thank you so much :)
