Introduction

jQuery scripts, Core Enhancements, Performance

This plugin is meant to help clean and resolve front and back end issues when using instances of jQuery alongside the Mootools libraries.


WHAT IT DOES OUT-OF-THE BOX

  • calls jQuery and jQuery UI libraries from the Google CDN (with or without protocol) - but you can do it locally too,
  • places jQuery libraries after MooTools calls for perfect compatibility,
  • adds the noConflict() code alongside the jQuery library call,
  • strips out extra jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, including the noConflict() calls added by other modules or plugins,
  • lets you choose jQuery UI basic styling or custom theme.

WHAT YOU CAN TWEAK

  • disable MooTools libraries tentatively in the frontend,
  • enable or disable the plugin in specific portions of the site, from template to single page,
  • use reporting to get feedback on what the plugin engine has done,
  • add or remove scripts and stylesheets,
  • strip blank lines left by the modifications made to the page,
  • prevent some libraries to be stripped out,
  • modify the way the engine works by default (do not add or remove noConflict() code...),
  • ...

Try the new jQuery Easy Profiles for Joomla! 3+ that allows multiple configurations to work seamlessly for different parts of a site. Speed up your pages and limit your server load. More information on the developer's website.

I was pulling my hair out trying to get 2 extensions to work together. I spent many hours of research and finally figured out it was a jQuery conflict. This plug-in solved my problem - thank you!!!

It just works folks! One useful tweak for performance would be to specify the 1.7.1 version of jquery.min.js from google as it has a far future expiration date (1 year) instead of 1.7s 1 hour. This helps cache more efficiently (reference http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10610486/jquerys-cdn-and-far-future-expire-headers). This little tweek would improve Page Speed and YSlow scores.
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for this review and the added insight. I will look into it and see how we can make websites using this plugin even faster. Thank you for contributing in making jQuery Easy even better!
This is one of my most essential plugins especially with the constant mix of jquery and mootools being used on Joomla sites today. It works like a champ and almost always fixes any conflicts I have. Plus it helps with my page speed by preventing every extension from loading its own copy of jquery. Much love!
Owner's reply: Thank you, I appreciate the review. Great to see that this plugin can be of help to you!
Wow. This addresses EVERYTHING you're looking for and them some. Previously I've tried many attempts to control jQuery and Mootools, almost settled on SC jQuery until it killed the Mootools menus in the admin area making it useless. It could have been great. Maybe it is by now, but I'm done looking.



I'd been having a problem where a component [which as I love it remains nameless] was loading jQuery from Google's CDN over http, breaking the SSL site I was using it for. NOTE TO DEVS: GIVE US THE OPTION TO CONTROL YOUR JQUERY IMPLEMENTATIONS! Basic stuff, no?



jQuery Easy to the rescue! The second I loaded it to my site, it fixed a Mootools conflict by loading it the correct way round, and BANG, my site was loading fully over SSL again. And no need to touch the admin area's settings too.



Oh and it even honoured the force SSL setting I'd added to Global Config by ALREADY CHECKING HTTPS!



Wow. Simplify Your Web indeed. Great, great work guys. I salute you.



(PS Compared to installation and setup of jQuery Easy, this review took about 100x longer!)
Owner's reply: Thank you for this very constructive review. The plugin is in constant evolution and more options are on the way for advanced users as requests pour in.
Could you contact me through the website and clarify your request about controlling the jQuery implementations? (do you mean you want to be able to get jQuery from other channels than Google's CDN?)

Lifesaving Plugin

I was just about to scrap my design Ideas due to Jquery conflicts. They can be so time consuming to fix. This amazing plugin corrected the conflict after an easy install and setup. Great tool!
Owner's reply: Thank you for the review!
I need this kinda behavior on most of my sites... And when I was on half way with my own plugin, I stumbled upon this :)



Very good m8, nice regex work :)
Owner's reply: Thank you. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any suggestions on improving this plugin.

Very handy! *****

One-week-headache, solved in 10 minutes !

Great work, Thank you !
Owner's reply: Thanks, I am glad it helped!
I was having a conflict with joomla 2.5, yoo theme cloud and virtue mart. Not exactly sure what was causing the problem, but I am guessing a jquery and java script conflict. Anyhow, installed this extension and widgets are now working again. They just all of a sudden quit working. I hope this helps others!
Owner's reply: Thanks you for reporting these issues and for the review!
After spending hours pulling my hair out with a fix this, break that issue, I came across this little gem!

Not only is it free, but the author gave amazing support, also for free!

Definitely will be part of the "default" install line-up in future.

Serious Kudos for making this available!!!
Owner's reply: Thanks for the review, I greatly appreciate it.
