Using SqueezeBox method within jQuery code ?

[duddy67]

Hi,

In my component I often use the SqueezeBox Mootools method, and
since I've moved to jQuery I now use it like that:

Code: Select all

jQuery.noConflict();  

(function($) {

  ...
 
  $.fn.openIntoIframe = function(link)
  {
    SqueezeBox.open(link, {handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 800, y: 530}});
    return this;
  };

  ...

})(jQuery);

It does work but I'm a bit puzzled about that.
Since SqueezeBox is a Mootools method is there any risk of conflict here (namespace for instance) ?
Is it safe to use it like this or is there another way to do that ?

Thanks for your answers.

If you're doing this in Joomla 3.x - then your mootools-more is missing the Hash functions.

After a little research, Gavern discovered this and put together an ultra-minimal mootools more that contains only Hash - so you can load it right before loading behavior.modal and everything works fine.

Thanks for your response.

No I don't plan to do this with Joomla 3 as I'll probably make it work differently.

However I didn't see any SqueezeBox method in the Gavern script.
I'm not even sure it will fix the pb under Joomla 3.

The Gavern script doesn't do anything for squeezebox, it replaces the missing MooTools-More Hash methods which Squeezebox relies on.
