Is there any way to add some variables to Drupal.settings without drupal_add_js (with setting argument).

I'm creating a site that has a custom ctools popup style but I'm not feeling good with drupal_add_js. How can I add this JavaScript snippet to the page using the theme's .info page ? I'm not sure how can I merge my custom variables (literally, they are just static) to Drupal.settings so ctools module can pick them up as it was added via regular drupal_add_js call.

Thank you in advance.

No there's no way to do that, you need to use drupal_add_js or an #attached property on a render array –  Clive♦ Sep 26 '13 at 7:55
    
Ohh.. I really wish Drupal has a little more magic to do that. Anyway, thank you very much for your help Clive. –  Ayesh K Sep 26 '13 at 7:59
    
No worries, I haven't put it in as an answer 'cos I'm hoping someone will know some sort of dark magic to prove me wrong :) –  Clive♦ Sep 26 '13 at 8:01
    
With using JS injector you can add js code directly on the UI, and it provides conditionnals conditions (match pages urls) –  pico34 Sep 26 '13 at 8:08
    
@pico34 Can you use JS injector to manipulate Drupal.settings? That would be pretty cool –  Clive♦ Sep 26 '13 at 8:15

Maybe I am missing a point to the question, but you should be able to do

scripts[] = path/to/your/script.js

in the .info file of your theme. And within the script file something like

(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
    Drupal.settings.yoursetting = {};
    Drupal.settings.yoursetting.property = some_value;
});
})(jQuery);

or use the Drupal.behaviors convention.
