Load different jQuery version on specified page.

Thanks for the hack idea as this worked for me. Panels 6.3 IPE did not work with an updated version of jQuery (works fine with the default 1.3.2 version) and yet I needed version 1.4.4+ for another site feature.

It would be nice to be able to include/exclude site paths to to be used for the update/replace similar to how the wysiwyg editors and other modules work.

[code]
function jquery_update_jquery_path() {
if (arg(0) != 'admin' && arg(1) != 'add' && arg(2) != 'edit') {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery-1.6.2.min.js');
// $jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
else {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
return JQUERY_UPDATE_REPLACE_PATH .'/'. $jquery_file[variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'min')];
}

[/code]

etc works pretty well too.
There are few things besides the admin area that require old jq.
The only problem found so far is was a minor one with lightbox.

#4 messes up Panels' ajax when you try to add/edit panel panes so I added a line:

function jquery_update_jquery_path() {
if (arg(0) != 'admin' && arg(1) != 'add' && arg(2) != 'edit') {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery-1.6.2.min.js');
// $jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
else if (arg(0) != 'panels' ) {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery-1.6.2.min.js');
}
else {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
return JQUERY_UPDATE_REPLACE_PATH .'/'. $jquery_file[variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'min')];
}

Might be a better way to do it but it works.

I think it would be great to support non drupal versions directly in the module. The current d6 jquery version is WAY out of date. There are just a few exceptions where drupal jquery is vital except for administration.

Sorry, the last one was no good, this works though:

Line 61 of jquery_update.module:

<?php
/**
 * Return the path to the jQuery file.
 */
function jquery_update_jquery_path() {
if ((arg(0) != 'admin' && arg(1) != 'add' && arg(2) != 'edit') && (arg(0) != 'panels')) {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery-1.6.2.min.js');
// $jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
else {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
return JQUERY_UPDATE_REPLACE_PATH .'/'. $jquery_file[variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'min')];
}

?>

Update, gotta add a 'ctools' exception:

function jquery_update_jquery_path() {
if ((arg(0) != 'admin' && arg(1) != 'add' && arg(2) != 'edit') && (arg(0) != 'panels') && (arg(0) != 'ctools')) {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery-1.6.2.min.js');
// $jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
else {
$jquery_file = array('none' => 'jquery.js', 'min' => 'jquery.min.js');
}
return JQUERY_UPDATE_REPLACE_PATH .'/'. $jquery_file[variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'min')];
}

You saved my day. Thanks

another exception for arg(0) == 'batch'

To get it working I had to do the following (Drupal 7):

/**
 * Implements hook_module_implements_alter().
 */
function your_module_module_implements_alter(&$implementations, $hook){
  if( $hook == 'library_alter' ){
    $group = $implementations ['your_module'];
    unset($implementations ['your_module']);
    $implementations ['your_module'] = $group;
  }
}

/**
 * Implements hook_library_alter().
 */
function your_module_library_alter(&$javascript, $module) {
  if( $module === 'system' && current_path() == 'path/to/page' ) {
    // Make sure we inject either the minified or uncompressed version as desired.
    $min = variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'min') == 'none' ? '' : '.min';
    $cdn = variable_get('jquery_update_jquery_cdn', 'none');
    $path = drupal_get_path('module', 'jquery_update');

    $version = '1.7';

    jquery_update_jquery_replace($javascript, $cdn, $path, $min, $version);
  }
}

Thank you drupalmoff for the snippet.
It works perfectly.
