How to add a javascript file to a theme

Hi Rafal,

As I said somewhere else, I have successfully added a css file to modify the heading slightly and it looks great. (PhranckoForum.com)

Now I would like to add a javascript file to execute some customizing code. I uploaded the following script in the "Media" section of my theme, but it doesn't run:

<script>
$(function() {
    alert("hello");
    console.log("----------------this is from my script------------");
});
</script>

Perhaps there is an error in my code. Or is this not the way to add javascript?

What I want to do is change the word "Thread" to "Conversation" because I think the general public is intimidated by the word Thread. It sounds like you might be making a huge change to the forum, like maybe creating a whole new Category, not just starting a comment or question. It may just be me, but that's what I think anyway.

So I was planning to change the wording on buttons and in the header, if I can in javascript.

I have also throught about trying to find the English translation file and just editing it to change the word everywhere it is used.

Or do you have a better suggestion?

I think I understand what you mean but I am still unsure exactly where to put it, both on the production server and now on my own local server that I am running on my own computer.

When I made the navbar.html change, I had not yet launched the website so I edited it right on the production server in the directory ~/misago_docker/misago/theme/templates/misago

Now that I have launched it, I need to do mods on my local computer. I cannot find the equivalent directory on my local computer. There is no misago/theme directory under the Misago directory that I forked the code into. There is also no appctl that I can find. I run it locally by using "docker-compose up".

1) Where do I place navbar.html on my local machine for testing it there?

2) If you then tell me to place my navbar.html on the local machine in some folder called [whatever]/theme/templates/misago, would I then place the script file in [whatever]/theme/static/misago?
