   I am trying to load google map on a page and I created a function loading scripts in my function php. It loads the map and OK, but I want to limit this function being loaded to a certian page.

   Conditional tags do not work for me here or I don't use them properly

   here is the code from function file
   

   function my_map() {
   if (!is_admin()) {
   wp_deregister_script('g_map');
   wp_register_script('g_map', 'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false', false, '', true);
   wp_enqueue_script('g_map');
   
   wp_enqueue_script('y_map', get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/js/ymap.js', array('g_map'), '1.0', true);
   }
   }
   add_action('init', 'my_map');

   Please show me the way to do it

   <?php if (is_page('42')) {
        my_map();
   } ?>

   42 would be the page id. You can also use the page name and other options. See the codex.

   racer x, thank you for the answer! I tried this way, but it doesn't catch.
   I tried to place it in different places and include add_action into condition. Nada.
   add_action ignores conditional tag and loads it on any page.

   If this way suppose to work, then I am missing something here. Otherwise, need another approach.

   ...
   function my_map() {
     if (!is_admin() && is_page('42')) {
   ...

   My example was a call to the my_map() function within the theme files whether it was index, sidebar, whatever. The function itself could remain in the functions file where it belongs.

   Zeo's idea will work too, but you need to call this function somewhere if the add_action is not working for you.

   Thank you guys ! I have tried Zeo's way before posting my question. It doesn't load scripts.

   I solved this by replacing add_action('init','my_map') with
   add_action('wp_print_scripts', 'my_map')

   It loads scripts only on chosen page in footer.

   As I am new to all this stuff and I am not a PHP-guy, I am not sure it is proper use of actions and all. I need to learn more about wp_print_scripts

   Zeo, thanks for the link! I can see that I did it right.
   I might say - resolved
