Joomla Mootools and jQuery Compatibility

User Rating:  / 0

In this series of post I will outline some common techniques to help Joomla extensions development.

As you know Joomla is shipped with Mootools library which assign $ also to Ajax. Here is 2 tips that will allow you to use jQuery scripts without any modifications (most of the time you will find tips to assign jQuery to something else than $ and rewrite your scripts)

First it is recommended to include always mootools first to avoid jQuery conflict issues

JHTML::_('behavior.mootools');
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScript(JURI::root() . "media/com_cedtag/js/jquery.1.7.2.min.js");

then to run jQuery in noConflict mode. Note that here I do not assign jQuery to any alias.

$document->addScriptDeclaration("jQuery.noConflict();");

Till here, this is what you will find on all Joomla forums, posts over the internet. The last tips is what make the difference!

Instead of using a different alias for the jQuery object (when using noConflict), you can write your jQuery code by wrapping it all in a closure. This can be done in the document.ready function

$script = "jQuery(function($) { $();

});"; $document->addScriptDeclaration($script);

This way you are not force to rewrite your scripts to use another alias (replacing $ with jquery alias for example in all your scripts). This make inclusion of jQuery really easy!

Happy Coding!

User Rating:  / 0

If you want an extra gigabyte of storage on your Dropbox account, the online cloud service invites you to compete in its second annual “Dropquest” online scavenger hunt.

It’s a series of logic puzzles that will make you browse around the Web while also learning about the various features and services that Dropbox offers. Anyone who makes it to the end will get an extra gigabyte, but the first person to complete it wins a grand prize package culminating in a 100 GB account, free for life.

Dropquest Chapter 1

  1. The product of the first two digits is 24.
  2. The fourth digit is half of the second digit.
  3. The sum of the last two digits is the same as the sum of the first and third digits.
  4. The sum of all the digits is 26.
  5. The second digit is greater than the last digit.

if abcde is the password….

  • a*b=24
  • d=b/2
  • e+d=a+c
  • a+b+c+d+e=26
  • b>e

Valid solutions are

  1. a=3 b=8 c=6 d=4 e=5
  2. a=1 b=24 c=0 d=12 e=-11
  3. a=2 b=12 c=5 d=6 e=1
