[wp-hackers] Proposal: standardize plugin-data path

[Mike Walsh]

This was very timely as I am working on loading some plugin specific
Javascript today.  However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why this
doesn't work:

function swimteam_admin_head()
{
    //  Load CSS
    swimteam_head_css() ;

    //  Load plugin Javascript
    wp_enqueue_script('portlet',
        plugins_url(plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)
        . '/js/portlet.js')), array('jquery', 'interface')) ;
    var_dump(plugins_url(plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)
        . '/js/portlet.js'))) ;
}

The output of the var_dump() shows up at the top of the rendered page and
the path is correct so I know my function is executing but there isn't a
<script> tag reference to either "interface" (which is a dependency) or my
plugin specific code in the resulting HTML.

Why wouldn't something which was enqueued show up in the output?

Thanks,

Mike
