Concrete uses jQuery generously, so if you need to use jQuery in your site you can skip the import and just start using it

Thanks for your rapid reply.

Rather than starting a new thread.
Is there a way to detect if a Theme is already loading in jQuery?

I am creating a theme from a purchased template. That template already is using jQuery. Works great when not in edit/admin mode, but it won't work if jquery.js is included twice.

So my question is
a) Is there a way to detect if people are admins so I can put an if statement in to prevent jquery from getting loaded twice
or
b) Is there a way to detect if jquery has (or will be) been loaded in (by Loader::element('header_required');)?

I've done:
if (!$c->isEditMode()) {?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->getThemePath().'/js/jquery.js';?>"></script>
<?php }?>

but screws up all jquery elements when I'm just 'viewing' the page.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

You shouldn't have to include jQuery at all, since it's always included.

As for other scripts there is an addHeaderItem function you can use. Here's a post with more information:

Gotcha. Because I'm putting the theme together I didn't notice that the Script That was there before wasn't working at all. When I put it into 'edit mode' it didn't work at all.

I didn't realize that jquery is always included with the Concrete pages when you use the 'header_required'.

Still makes me concerned about jquery versions and conflicts with other libraries...

Still easily the best user friendly CMS out there! I can't wait to write my own 'plugin'.

Great work keep it up!

is jQuery UI included by default?

I am having issues with trying to get a jQuery sliding menu to work,

jQuery("#HorizontalSlidingMenu .slidingMenu").slidingMenu is not a function

is one of the errors I get and not sure how to fix this.

Yep. jQuery is included by default:

You might take a look at what I've done using jQuery transitions - not sure if it's similar to what you're after..

View the source to get the scripts, specifically the "/blocks/page_list/templates/homepage_news/view.js"


It uses the jQuery Cycle Plugin:

jquery is included on all C5 pages. jquery UI is only included when logged in.
