Conflict with EZ Realty & Form Validation

After I installed the EZ Realty Head Tag plugin, form validation no longer works.

I am on Joomla 1.5.9 and Chronoforms 3.0. It looks like EZ Realty loads its own version of MooTools at:

/components/com_ezrealty/library/testbox/js/mootools.js

Any workarounds to this?

I noticed now with CF 3.0 there is no more option for prototype for validation.

Hi brewster,

Looking at http://www.ezrealty.info/index.php?option=com_ezrealty&Itemid=53 the Mootools they are loading looks like a very early release. Joomla 1.5 and ChronoForms uses v1.1 (latest is v1.2).

Try suppressing the EZrealty mootools and see if it will run on the standard Joomla version.

Yes, MooTools and Prototype don't make good bedfellows so Max dropped the Prototype version of the validation.

Ok thanks, that gave me enough info to redirect EZ Reality to the Joomla system mootools like chronforms uses:

For anyone's future reference here is what I did:

in the EZ Realty Head tag plugin located at:

/plugins/system/realtyheadtag.php

I changed this line: (around line 40)

$tag = '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $mainframe->getCfg( 'live_site' ) . '/'.'components/com_ezrealty/library/testbox/js/mootools.js"></script>' . "\n";

to this

$tag = '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $mainframe->getCfg( 'live_site' ) . '/'.'media/system/js/mootools.js"></script>' . "\n";

Make sure to clear your browser cache as well.

Everyone is playing nice with each other again!
