how can I disable mootool.js ?

[gitawego]

I noticed that everytime when I open com_frontpage and com_content pages, Joomla 1.5 generates the mootool.js automatically in the HEAD tags if I use "".
It has conflict with my jquery effects.  I'd like to know how can I disable it ? It's not a good thing that Joomla adds such things in it, these should be chosen by users but not Joomla (you can of course use them in the backend, but please don't in the front-end). It took me 2 hours to figure out why my jquery effect doesn't work.

Certainly interested! Are you solve this problem?

Thanks.

What version of 1.5 are you using? To my knowledge, mootools is only loaded on the backend automatically and not on the  frontend any more.

[gitawego]

no, I haven't found the solution. I'm using joomla1.5 RC3

mottools is loaded in frontend because the editor image uploader uses it...

May be we can use other JQuery initiation, not $().
Hmm, I think Joomla developers must use not default descriptor for mootools. It's hard of maintains (may be, may be not), but solve many problems in future.

So, I solve my problem, I should load my JQuery application on only needed pages.

Have some told me how can I add some code in HEAD from my extension? Thanks.

It would be really awesome if we could disable mootools.js from being loaded. I don't know why it has to be added to every single page in my site if I'm using it nowhere. I understand some people may use it, so maybe it should be there by default, but I definitely think there should be an option to disable it.

Moving to 1.5 developer forum.

It's been discussed several times, some Devs think it should be placed in every page... which I can't and will never understand
Hope they can give the people like me an option to disable it

Place

Code: Select all

<?php 
	$user =& JFactory::getUser();

	if ($user->get('guest') == 1) {
		$headerstuff = $this->getHeadData();
		$headerstuff['scripts'] = array();
		$this->setHeadData($headerstuff);
	}
?>

In the header of your template

I need just the opposite, my module need it on every page it's loaded on, how can I check for MooTools?

Thank you Ian, I've read it twice, but didn't find how to make sure from a module that mootools are loaded, just found the template bit (which I also needed, though  )

As some people know, JQuery has a no conflict mode.

What about Mootools? This would save a lot of namespace issues.

@dkarlovi
JHTML::('behavior.mootools'); should be enough, I think.

Yeah, I've added it to the wrong place the first time.

Anyway, I have answers to both my questions (yes, cache get done automagically and this answer), but now another problem:

My module adds a JS file and a stylesheet. When I turn on the cache it works the first time, but all other times it does not (it's contents gets pulled from cache) and my code is not executed. How can I cache everything, but still get some of my PHP executed every single time?

I have a plugin that loads jQuery, and the key is to call mootools before jQuery and then initiate no conflicts mode on jQuery, which will revert the $ function back to the originally declared namespace.  After that all jQuery plugins should handle no conflicts mode by using the following pattern:

Code: Select all

jQuery.noConflict();
(function($) { 
  $(function() {
    // more code using $ as alias to jQuery
  });
})(jQuery);

To add jQuery after mootools use something like the following:

Code: Select all

JHTML::script( 'jquery-1.2.1.pack', 'media/jquery/scripts/', true );

The above code loads the packed version of jQuery 1.2.1 from the media folder I've deployed it to and tags it as requiring mootools, which will cause mootools.js to be placed higher in the scripts declarations ensuring that jQuery.noConflict() works correctly.

Hi,

I think for loading Mootools on each side, particularly if one does not need it on the side is no good solution...
~80kb only for the mootools as compressed and ~200kb for the uncompressed?  why

mottools is loaded in frontend because the editor image uploader uses it...

This is to be loaded however still no reason the whole Mootools Framework constantly also. Why not use only the mootools core and the needed xxx.js ?  The better way is the Editor uses his own Method/Function for this...

The best way ( i think) is to give the Users the possibility to choose between 2 Versions:

1. With the complet Mootools Framework
2. Only with the needed Functions of the Mootools  Framework

greetings, Devil

WOW!!

if the editor is the only thing that uses mootools, why cant the editor page load it on request??
