MooTools Conflict with jQuery? (Turn off Moo?)

joomlanoob 29 Sep, 2009
I'm using the jQuery calendar on one of my chronoforms. Works great, but the browser reports three javascript errors which look like a mootools issue. I'm not using mootools on that form, but the includes are in the generated source.

---------
"Message: Object doesn't support this property or method"
/components/com_chronocontact/js/mooValidation.js
/media/system/js/mootools.js
/media/system/js/mootools.js
----------

Is there some way to turn off mootools for a chronoform?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi joomlanoob,

I think that as long as you don't turn on the ChronoForms CSS/JS, don't enable validation, don't ask ChronoForms to try to republish then probably MooTools won't load. Though MooTools is a standard part of Joomla 1.5 and some other component may load it.

Someone posted recently a method for getting the two to work together.

Thanks for the tip... looked at http://www.designvsdevelop.com/using-mootools-and-jquery-together-in-joomla/ and added the highlighted line into my existing page...

<link type="text/css" href="includes/jQuery/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/jQuery/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/jQuery/js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/jQuery/development-bundle/ui/ui.core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/jQuery/development-bundle/ui/ui.datepicker.js"></script>

Now works great!🙂
