Description
I had it working fine earlier, but now this error occur. I just upgraded to the Drupal 5.x-dev (2007-Oct-07), again had replaced the misc/jquery.js with the right one. Also I have installed various modules, so I don't know which one would caused the error.
TQ

I have the same problem after upgrading from 1.1.2 to 1.2.3, everything else seems to be working fine - thickbox, jrating
#2
same here after upgrading to jQuery 1.2.6 messagefx seems to be broken ...
( need it for shadow box ) fx just happen once then die out ...
#3
Same problem. I just upgraded to latest version of Drupal and all modules. Was working before. Now, using pulsate, messages appear so briefly you can't read them and then are gone.
#4
I updated a copy of the message effects module to use Jquery UI instead of Jquery Interface and it appears to have fixed the problem on my site. I also made a few other additions: a colorpicker for the highlight color, bounce effect, fadein effect, and a growl effect using the Jgrowl plugin for Jquery. I haven't tested it extensively but it seems to work well enough. It depends on the Jquery UI module, Jquery Update module, and Colorpicker module.

Great work, I hope the original author updates this mod!

Hmm, after installing this, my message FX no longer works. I see the status messages no problem now, and I can make configuration changes, but no effects. Which version of Jquery Update are you running with this? I'm using the 2.0 version. Perhaps a compatibility issue?

Your version of Jquery Update is the correct one. Make sure you also have the Jquery UI module installed as well as the Colorpicker module. Be sure to follow the directions that come with the Jquery UI module. It requires you to manually add the Jquery UI library. If you confirm all that and it still isn't working let me know and I'm happy to help troubleshoot.

Aha! I failed miserably at reading instructions and did not install jquery_ui properly in that I forgot to add the jquery.ui subfolder.
It seems to be working great now, thanks for the tip!

Attached is a minor update to the update above, as well as a patch file. The zip archive contains the complete updated module including a few extra files for jgrowl support. A Drupal 6.x patch will be up shortly as well.
