Install Mootools?

Post by Adam86 » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:13 am

Ive been having a great deal of trouble adding plugins and modules to my site - none are working very well. From what I have gathered it is because there is a lack of 'Mootools' can some direct me or instruct me on how to add mootools to my site?

Thanks

Mootools comes installed as a default in Joomla.

The template that you're using might disable it or another plugin might have disabled it.

I think it is Mootools 1.2 that is default in Joomla 1.5.

Try using one of the default templates that comes with Joomla to see if the problem is the template.

Thanks astroboy - yeah the template seems to be the problem - its a custom made one. Any hints on how to install it on the template?

Yep,

I use a bit of custom code that we put in our templates but this should do it for you.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">google.load("mootools", "1.1.2");</script>

That will load MooTools from Google. Nice and fast. Loads faster than what I can deliver from my own server.

add that right after the <HEAD> tag in the template code.

There are also plugins that will do i for you too BUT it will add extra SQL calls to your site decrease performance by a few micro seconds.
