What is the right way to load external JS and widget in template?

Claud

Is there a way to include external js for widgets like : https://www.tradingview.com/widget/ in template . Because when I try it, on first load it shows only the widget and nodebb page does not load, on refresh it loads the page also.
Thanks

I see the same issue happens when pasting the code they give in a html widget .

Load it with require(), and make sure you specify a container for it.

This works in an HTML widget:

<div id="widget-frame-container"></div> // The container

<script type="text/javascript">
require(["https://d33t3vvu2t2yu5.cloudfront.net/tv.js"], function () {
new TradingView.widget({
  "container_id": "widget-frame-container",           // Make sure you have this part
  "width": 998,
  "height": 610,
  "symbol": "FX:SPX500",
  "interval": "D",
  "timezone": "exchange",
  "theme": "White",
  "style": "1",
  "toolbar_bg": "#f1f3f6",
  "allow_symbol_change": true,
  "hideideas": true,
  "show_popup_button": true,
  "popup_width": "1000",
  "popup_height": "650"
});
});
</script>

Do you mean that simply adding the Javascript / HTML code in the HTML Widget does not work?

Is it a must to use "require" on the html widget for external Javascript which is needed on the client side?

@psychobunny do you think this is what is causing my adsense related problems?

I've manually put in external <script> tags and they've worked, it probably won't work if it needs to be in the <head>, in that case you should put that bit in the custom HTML page in the ACP

Ok. Will try and see if this improves the render / load.
