[Solved] ScriptRegistrar and CDN

[nachid]

The usage of CDN in ScriptRegistrar is still not clear to me
I have two differents cases to submit to your perspicacity.

A) local scripts referencing an external CDN
Let's suppose I am developping two small googlemap scripts:

• myMap1.js
• myMap2.js

Both reference an external CDN :http://www.google.com/jsapi
My frst idea was to create a group I named Google and add into it my two scripts
 
<add name="Google" defaultPath="~/Scripts/Google/" contentDeliveryNetworkUrl="http://www.google.com/jsapi">
 <items>
    <add source="myMap1.js"/>
    <add source="myMap2.js"/>
 </items>
 </add>
This did not work and produces only a link to http://www.google.com/jsapi


The second idea was to codify everything
 Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().Scripts.AddGroup("myMaps", g=>g
                                                                 .Add("http://www.google.com/jsapi")
                                                                 .Add("/Google/myMap1.js")
                                                                 .Add("/Google/myMap1.js")
                                                   )

This also fails with '~/Scripts/http://www.google.com/jsapi' is not a valid virtual path.

So what's the best to handle this case?
Why there is no way to add an external CDN link with the need to create a group
I ended up creating two groups: one for the CDN and one for the two local scripts. (not really clean but...)

B) I guess this one is more common need.
A many, I usually  use Google CDN for my jQuery

• http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js
• http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.0/jquery-ui.min.js

I however did not find the way to put these tow common scripts in the same group

Thanks for your help

Hello nachid rachid,

Indeed the current version does not allow defining web assets with full URL. I am sending an updated version which should allow this:

Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().Scripts.AddGroup("myMaps", g=>g
                                                                 .Add("http://www.google.com/jsapi")
                                                                 .Add("/Google/myMap1.js")
                                                                 .Add("/Google/myMap1.js")
                                                   )
