webstat js via control panel: just insert javascript. No script node tag…

[ksuess]

I would expect to be able to insert javascript code like let foo = 'bar' and not to be forced to insert code with the script node like <script>let foo = 'bar'</script>

https://github.com/plone/plone.app.layout/blob/master/plone/app/layout/analytics/view_head.pt

What I get:
If inserting js code. it's rendered as some text. :-( without any effect.

steps to reproduce

• create backend add-on with cookieplone
• install and start
• if you do not see a classic distribution, add plone.classicui to requirements.txt
• add some js code to control panel / website / js in header
• see js code rendered as text

This field is commonly used to insert other things (CSS, scripts loaded from an external source) so we can't simply change it to only support the contents of a script tag.

It is essentially a hook to add arbitrary HTML to the bottom of the body, and not just for web stats javascript.

After pasting js code, it is obvious that the field is intended to digest html markup.
The label is wrong. The current label / description is
JavaScript integrations included in head section
For enabling third-party JavaScript integrations from external providers (e.g., Google Analytics), paste the provided code snippet here. It will be rendered as entered at the end of the head section of the page.
I suggest to adjust the label and description to be more clear about what can be value of the field and what does make sense to be:
html to include js code, js script, css, css file, meta data,…
