Hello everyone,
I am a newbie to Drupal but what I have seen thus far is awsome! So much versatility in such a little known (for the time being) program.
I need help however with the installation of jquery UI.
I have downloaded the module (version 6.x-1.3) and, by trial and error, I have found that the only way to see the box to enable the module is by disabling all other modules. Anyhow, having done that, the program sees the module but doesn't want to enable it.
When I check the box to enable the module and save the configuration, at the top of the page a message appears that says: "The jQuery UI plugin is missing. Download and extract it to your jquery_ui module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using jQuery UI Not found)."
Now, I have uploaded this module into the module diectory alongside all other modules.
Do I have to ALSO upload it into jquery_ui/jquery.ui?
I have tried several combinations but to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Oliver.

Addendum
Needless to say, I did follow the instructions in the README.txt file. Still, no success.

You don't mention it-- did you also dl and cp the actual jquery ui library from code.google.com?
Well, I went to the google
Well, I went to the google link given to dl this library but there is nothing there, just a blank page. Where will I find this library?
However, after a search, I fond this file: "jQuery UI 1.8.4 (Source, demos, docs, themes, tests) LEGACY" which I dowloaded and installed into the /sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/ folder as instructed in the README file. It must be the wrong file because I still get the same error message.
Thanks.

you say you followed the instructions in the readme.txt-- then your post indicates you clearly did not. The instructions in the readme.txt are correct (and include which version you should use) and they work-- there's no need for me to retype them here.
Why do you say I did not
Why do you say I did not follow the instructions in the README file? I am not stupid and I can read. After a seach, I found and tried version 1.6 like the file said and it didn't work. So, I tried a higher version just in case, but it didn't work either.
That was legitimate since the link for version 1.6 in the README file pointed to a blank page. And stupid me thought it had been removed for a reason!
I came to this forum to seek help, not to be admonished for what I did (or could have done) wrong.
Well, anyway, thanks for your help. Sorry for disturbing you.
Bye.
The link was broken in my
The link was broken in my install too. Something about that "can=3" part.
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?q=1.6 should work for a stable release.
You can also look at this thread (http://drupal.org/node/559582) for people who have had similar problems. Some say that 1.7.3 also works from the jQuery UI website (http://jqueryui.com/download, go for legacy) but it's not officially supported.

Thank you Alan.I finally
Thank you Alan.
I finally fixed it. In the very beginning, I had uploaded the jquery UI files into the /modules directory where the other modules are (matter of routine I guess.) When I discovered the mistake, I uploaded them again into the sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/ subdirectory. Later, I uploaded the second package into the sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/ subdirectory. Then I came back to erase the first wrong upload (into /modules) but inadvertently erased them from the sites/all/modules/jquery_ui directory! Probably due to my failing eyesight..!
Thanks to your recommendation I double checked the content of the directories and found the empty directory!
Anyways, now it's enabled and no more error message.
Than you Alan, thanks to your input I was able to see what had happened.
Thanks for putting me on the right track.
Your help is much appreciated.
God bless.
Olivier.
Need Help
Hi Oliver, i am having the same problem here. Can you please help me? I was following the README but no success :(
Hey guys
I was just following your post and I had the same problem, and I even fixed it by putting the directories under the sites/all/ instead of modules/
but it still didn't work, so I actually had to disable the modules that were depended on it (imageCache)
and when I did, then jQuery UI enabled itself!
then I could go back and re-enable imageCache
The reason why imageCache was able to be enabled in the first place is because I installed JQuery ui under root/modules and not root/sites/modules and with no library in it, and drupal still saw it and I think I was able to enable it but it didn't work because there was no library installed as directed (I need to start reading the READMEs x/).
So yeah, I hope this helps someone
Finally figured it out!
Hey hey...
I finally managed to enable this module as follows:
1. Install the jquery_ui module in modules
2. Install the jquery.ui under libraries (Which didnt do much for me), so I made a copy of it and pasted it under the modules/jquery_ui module.
3. and voila! I stopped getting the error and it enabled nicely!
P.S. I also copied another folder into jquery_ui, from: http://jqueryui.com/download
Hope this helps!

uh... so basically you just followed the instructions? Sorry, just had to say it. I see so many people in the forums completely wasting time when a simple glance at the provided instructions could have solved the problem instantly.
Also, the latest dev version just added support for the libraries module so you now can use the libraries directory.
jquery.ui install -
Similar to above comments, following my attempt to install the jquery_ui module, a message appeared alerting me to download and extract jQuery (with a link to http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/ version 1.6) into the sites/all/libraries folder. Once this was done, jquery ui checkbox on the the module administration page (with module filter - good tool) was unchecked and I could not check or uncheck the module (unavailable with module filter). I deleted the jQuery 1.6 files from the sites/all/library folder then replaced them with downloaded package jQuery 1.7.3 (Legacy release, for jQuery 1.3.2) from http://jqueryui.com/download. Upon reloading Module Administration page there was no information alert and the checkbox showed the module is active.
Note that I had jQuery update module installed through all this.
Following all this I notice that the landing page in the above mentioned alert only lists upto jQuery 1.6 but after going to the http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/ Projects Home link, I see 1.7.3 on the left hand column.
