Drupal and jQuery
wpanssi - May 14, 2008 - 21:01
I'm new with jQuery. I would like to use this jQuery plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/TableDnD in my Drupal site. What modules do I need? jQuery update maybe?
How do I install a jQuery plugin into my Drupal site?
Thanks in advance!
Well...
I think everything you need to know is right here:

Yes, I read the
Yes, I read the instructions. But what about Drupal? Some earlier version of jquery ships with Drupal 5. And the plugin requires newer version. I installed jquery update module and then I added a tag to include jquery.tablednd.js and tried to make it work but didn't succeed.
So, do I need to download the latest jquery and can I then just replace the Drupal's jquery in misc/jquery.js??
I tested with the latest
I tested with the latest version of jquery and it worked!
But can I break some built-in javascript functionality in Drupal because the core uses earlier jquery version?
And could I use the latest (and much bigger) jquery version only on certain pages where I intend to use it..?
Here is what I do in the
Here is what I do in the page body, where I'm testing jquery:
<?php
drupal_add_js('sites/all/jquery-stuff/jquery-1.2.5.js', 'header');
drupal_add_js('sites/all/jquery-stuff/jquery.tablednd.js', 'header');
drupal_add_js(
'$(document).ready(function() {
$("p").fadeIn("slow");
});',
'inline'
);
?>
When I add the first two drupal_add_js -functions the fadein -effect stops to work. I assume taht it's because drupal core uses earlier jquery. How do I fix this? I have installed jquery update, but it doesn't seem to work..
A bit late for this I think
Did you have any success sorting this out?
I can't help but think that you're inadvertently getting jquery to load up twice: whichever version drupal adds by default, and then the jquery 1.2.5 file you specify in the first line.
If this is the case you could certainly run into problems.
Good luck!
