If you are familiar with Smooth Gallery, it is a javascript apparatus built upon the prototype framework. I am just getting around to building the custom actions that will be used in theme/template pages when I ran into a question: "How do I only include the mootools library on pages that use the action". </p> <p>I've been able to accomplish this in the wp-admin section rather easily by checking the value of <code>$_GET[&#39;page&#39;]</code>, but I am lost as to how to go about this in the live blog. What I'd like to do is represented in pseudo code below"</p> <pre><code>function my_wp_head(){ if( $theme_file_uses_my_custom_action ) wp_enqueue_scripts( &#39;mootools&#39; ); } add_action( &#39;wp_head&#39;, &#39;my_wp_head&#39; );</code></pre> <p>Any thoughts here? I can't wrap my head around this one. Thanks in advance,<br /> -Mike </p>
