// 1. Instantiate a Loader in the global.html template

SREPLoader = new YAHOO.util.YUILoader({
    base: '{% vurl "/static/script/" %}',
    loadOptional: false,
    combine: true,
    require:["json"],
    filter: "MIN",
    allowRollup: true,
    onSuccess: function() {
        //you can make use of all requested YUI modules here.
        while (SREPLoader.onReady.length) {
            SREPLoader.onReady.shift()();
        }
    }
});

// 2. Define a list of executables that we can add to prior to page load completion
SREPLoader.onReady = [];

// 3. Load the list of modules in my manifest here:

(function() {

    /* Modules for the Loader */
    var modules = [  // indentation removed for visibility

    { name: 'jQuery.expose', type: 'js', varName: 'jQuery.expose', path: 'vendor/jquery.expose-0.14.min.js' },
    { name: 'jQuery.overlay', type: 'js', varName: 'jQuery.overlay', path: 'vendor/jquery.overlay-0.14.min.js', requires: ['jQuery.expose'] },
    etc...
    
    // add modules to loader
    while( modules.length )  {
        SREPLoader.addModule( modules.shift() );
    }
    
})();

// 4. Load required modules for all pages
SREPLoader.require( 'SREP', 'SREP.Facebook');

// 5. Define a block that can be written to by child templates, that can add loader modules (django in this case) 
//    ie: child template contact.html requires a contactformhelper module: SREPLoader.require('SREP.FormHelper');

{% block script %}{% endblock %}

// 6. Insert the Loader picking up required modules from the global template and all children

SREPLoader.insert();
