please help me,

Answer 1

Make sure that you link your script with createPluginMap function before .nocache.js and doesn't link it asynchronously (I mean it should be without <script defer or <script async)

Answer 2

I assume it's a race condition and the function createPluginMap doesn't exist when you expect it be.

Try replaceing

alert("ff");

with

alert(''+!!$wnd.createPluginMap);

If you get 'false' in the alert, this is the reason. If true, i will try to think of a different answer ;)
