Cannot get indent plugin to work when put in ~/.janus folder

[Carl Erik Kopseng]

Since the default indentation for javascript in Vim is terrible I would like to install a better indentation script by Preston Koprivica. From what I can remember from the time I used it before starting to use janus, it was pretty easy to get it working, but I cannot seem to get it working with Janus.

According to the README, one should customize Janus by adding plugins to the ~/.janus folder. If I try to add the 'web-indent-read-only' folder to the ~/.janus folder nothing seems to get picked up. 

I don't know much about the inner workings of vim, but is the process different for indentation scripts, as opposed to plugin scripts?

Were you able to get anywhere with this?

I've got a similar situation where I want to customize JavaScript with: 

a) use that custom indent script, and 

b) use a different syntax highlighter script   https://github.com/jelera/vim-javascript-syntax

I can't figure out how to use a different syntax highlighting when vim already includes a javascript.vim.   When vim loads, it is finding the bundled javascript.vim before it finds my customized syntax highlighting.

Any suggestions?

So, I have a solution that works for me. I haven't worked with it extensively, though, so I may have unknowingly broken something else.  

The 'customization' wiki page instructs us to add any plugins into a ~/.janus folder, pathogen-style.  Unfortunately, they weren't being sourced until AFTER vim's default javascript.vim.

I got around this by adding one line to "~/.vimrc.before":

call janus#add_group(".janus", expand("~"))

(This line is copied verbatim from janus/vim/core/before/plugin/janus.vim, line 119.)

I used this syntax plugin: https://github.com/jelera/vim-javascript-syntax.  My installation was simply:

$ git clone https://github.com/jelera/vim-javascript-syntax ~/.janus/vim-javascript-syntax

Like I said, my javascript plugins are now loading properly, which is fantastic!  But, I don't know if there are any negative side-effects of this brute-force approach.

Cheers,

Matt

Sorry, unfortunately no. So far this Janus thing has just made things more complicated for me, without any real gain.

It would be easier to

1. Disable the Javascript plugin
2. Clone the new one into ~/.janus

So starting from a fresh installed Janus

$ echo "call janus#disable_plugin('javascript')" >> ~/.vimrc.before

$ mkdir ~/.janus

$ git clone https://github.com/jelera/vim-javascript-syntax ~/.janus/vim-javascript-syntax

Let me know if that does not work.
