Hi All,

I can't enable jquery and get the message "The jQuery UI plugin is missing. Download and extract it to your jquery_ui module directory. (Currently using jQuery UI Not found)" If I click the link provided in that message (http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?q=1.6) I can download jquery.ui-1.6.zip and extract it into sites/all/modules/jquery_ui. The extracted folder is "jquery.ui-1.6".

What is jquery.ui-1.6? Is it the plugin? Is it in the right place and if so, why do you think I can't enable jQuery. What else should I do? Is there a general plugins folder where this should live?

You can probably tell I'm not a programmer and out of my depth I'm a graphics jockey trying to learn me some Drupal). Simple instructions would be great. Talk to me like I'm an 8 year old.

Thanks in advance!

Greg

Ok, lets back up. jQuery comes with Drupal, so the is no need to enable it. Also, jQuery does not require jQuery UI (jQuery UI does require jQuery) so I am guessing you are trying to use some module. So what's the module, if not a module, what did you do to get to this point?

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I have Panels 6.x-3.8 installed but he "Panels In-Place Editor" (6.x-3.8) is grayed out. I'm trying to teach myself Drupal and as designer I understand Panels is a good way to do layouts. I guess when I saw the Description: "Provide a UI for managing some Panels directly on the frontend, instead of having to use the backend. Depends on: Panels (enabled), query_ui (missing), Chaos tools (enabled)" I sort of became obsessed with correcting the issue and not seeing the forest for the trees. Bottom line is I want to get that Panels in place working but I thought it was the result of the missing jQuery_ui. I (think I) have updated jQuery using the Query Update 6.x-2.0-alpha1 module.

I am also getting the same problems with JQuery plugin problems.

The module I installed was JQuery UI and then I spotted JQuery UI Plugins module too so installed that as well thinking that this would resolve the problem.

Whichever way I try to place the JQuery UI plugin or JQuery UI module it still says it isn't there.

I have renamed the folder jqueryui as per the instructions but its persistent in saying 'its not there'.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Somehow managed to get it to work.

I unzipped jquery ui-1.6 and renamed the folder just jquery_ui and put this in the folder which was in sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/ simply as jquery_ui so the path is sites/all/modules/jquery.ui/jquery.ui and hit the enable on both jquery ui and jquery ui plugin on the modules enable in site building and it found it.

Hope this helps.

If you download that zip which is entitled jquery_1.6.zip or similar then you need to extract that first and then rename the folder it unzips to as simply jquery.ui and then upload that to the jquery.ui module directory folder in sites/all/modules/jquery.ui and plonk it in there.

Hope this helps.

I had to move on from this issue for now. I'll update my results if and when I can get this working. Thanks for your comments!

Could you look at mine because I have tried everything and still cannot get it to work

Sure.

Where have you got to with it so far?

It works

Alright, think I got it:

1. Download the JQuery module from Drupal: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/jquery_ui-6.x-1.4.tar.gz After extracting, you will have a folder named “jquery_ui”
2. Now go to http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/detail?name=jquery.ui-1.6.z.... And download “ jquery.ui-1.6.zip “
3. Extract the zipped file: “jquery.ui-1.6.zip” into your just created jquery_ui folder.
4. Rename the folder you just extracted (jquery.ui-1.6.) to “jquery.ui” This folder contains the demos tests and themes

My confusion was not knowing the difference between the jQuery UI plug-in vs . jQuery.ui, On the Drupal’s site the page for jQuery_ui (http://drupal.org/search/apachesolr_multisitesearch/jquery_ui?filters=ss...) states that jQuery UI is “A wrapper module around the jQuery UI effects library”.

Overall, I think the instructions are accurate but not very clear; especially to us non-coding graphic designer types!

I agree Greg. Its a slippery little module this one. Glad you got it sorted though.

gjconker,

Your solution for the "JQuery Plugin Not Found" issue that I battled for days was absolutely spot on. Thank you for allowing me to get rid of that blasted error message.

Greg and all,

I fear I have this same issue unresolved still, in spite of following your helpful instructions to the letter ! (and many other 'read me' files ...many times)

yet I still get this:

# The Date Popup module now requires the jQuery UI module as a source for the datepicker. Please install it immediately.
# The jQuery UI plugin is missing. Download and extract it to your jquery_ui module directory. (Currently using jQuery UI Not found)

the added twist is that ticking the jQuery install button in Modules produces nothing (it remains un-ticked)

I admit being at a loss as I can see nothing further to try... any alternative lead would be most welcome, as I need to utilise the 'date popup' somehow and this jQuery makes this road seem impassable presently!

The way you described it was the best way for me and so that I could understand and so could make it work. Great!

I have the Date module with the popup picker on several websites and the functionality has completely eroded in light of these jQuery UI issues. Simon, you described the problem exactly as how I'm experiencing it. Is there any help on the way from the jQuery folk?

midlake commented

I want to point out that it could be the Date module that has the bug, too.

I think this is very confusing. I had all the above problems until, finally, the penny dropped: first you have to install the drupal module in the usual way which installs into the modules folder in a folder named jquery_ui. Then you have to go to the jquery user interface framework (not drupal at all) and get a second module which you load into the jquery_ui folder you just created, which then creates a folder inside it named jquery.ui-1.6 which you have to truncate to jquery.ui (note the point instead of an underline). The readme file in the drupal module explains all this, but unless you are switched on to the fact you're dealing with two entirely different entities with almost the same names, it can easily confuse (well it did me - maybe I'm easily confused). Many thanks to the post by gjconker on November 7, 2010 above which finally woke me up to what was going on - good one.

just in case of help. this one nearly drove me crazy and (though resolved now and looks daft of me now not to have spotted it all along) the thing I believe I must have missed perhaps was that jquery.ui had installed itself within itself. In other words I had installed exactly as per the excellent advice in these posts and Greg's clear instructions, yet somehow the extraction had produced /jquery_ui/jquery.ui/jquery.ui/ and I had not noticed or else assumed correct)... Manually getting rid of the 'empty extra' resolved everything. Meaning simply that if madness seems imminent, then possibly one final act of patience would be to check for no duplicate subfolders...
else you will end up feeling rather stupid, like me, perhaps!

I was able to get the jquery module enabled by following the instruction on the 'README.TXT" file except the folders need to be renamed to JQUERY.UI. So your path should read sites/all/modules/jquery.ui/jquery.ui

I also disabled the date-pop-up module, enable jquery and then re-enabled date-pop-up module again. This worked for me. I hope it helps others.

I'm about to through it all out!

I'm appalled at the convoluted and inconsistent procedures, tips, so called solutions and what not from half a dozen threads about the same subject. I have tried all kinds of things.

Is there not an easier way to implement these modules? Ubercart works OK, but can't get Ubercart to work correctly unless it has the jquery. Oh and UberPOS does not work with Drupal 7 so going that route wont work.

I have tried Magento and Prestashop and simple php based shops but this Drupal is by far the most difficult to set up.

The module install for the Jquery fails so I'm stuck. I'm also stuck with Date features that require jquery as well.

Anybody out there with some solution.
