Hi, using the old JB Library it was easy to make sure only one instance of jQuery is loaded but how do you do it with Zen Grid 2? There are no options for it in the jQuery Options area.

I'm developing a site here, you'll see there are loads of JavaScript conflicts (the bane of my life these days!

I'm hoping they'll be gone by only having one jQuery...

I think the template framework handles this in the same way the plugin did but it uses regex and there can be a few that slip through the net.

In K2 you can disable jquery in the parameters. You will then have to change the plugin order so the template framework is above k2 (system plugins).

In the template under settings -> performance at the bottom is an option to strip extra scripts. You can add anything here that you want removed from the site. So for you I would try

jquery-1.6.1.min.js
jquery.noconflict.js

Unless there is a way to turn them off in the component options?

Thanks Robwent, I have done as you said, disabled jquery in K2, made sure Zentools loads before K2 and have excluded those duplicate files.

It seems to work fine, but now I have 10 errors on the page. You've answered my question though, so thanks

The site has moved to here now

Hi there,

I'm not sure where you see the errors, is that in firebug?

In your page I see K2.js loading before JQuery which will cause an error as JQuery isn't loaded before K2 tries to use it.

Can you check the order of plugins again. If zen is above K2 you might have to submit a ticket so we can look into it.

Sometimes there is no order to the plugins but it might look like one is above the other and they all have the ordering value of 0

Regards,
Rob

Cool thanks Rob, the errors where in Firefox > Tools > Web Developer > Error Console

Same in Firebug too though, just more clicks

You where right the ordering was set to zero.

Now there are only 4 errors which is a vast improvement, thanks

The errors seem to be coming from widgetkit.

Can you try switching that off and seeing if the errors are gone?

Thanks, I'm no longer using widgetkit now so I've removed it, there are still errors though, it's probably from Aceshop, I'll check with them, thanks

Thanks for the update

Paul

I think the error you see on the doctype is down to 2 script tags on the page with no defines source, I had to remove the opening < and ending tag so i could post but you get the idea.

script src="" type="text/javascript">

It's hard to tell what is outputting them though.

Excellent thanks Robwent, that has saved me hrs of time, I managed to track down one of the culprits. It was indeed Aceshop.

I shall continue on my quest for the other one, thanks for the heads up!

Hi
I see your quest was successful as I see only one instance now. You did good job with Rob

I solved this problem by loading the JBLibrary extension here, and selecting the option to load only one instance of JQuery.

Yes, I was able to do it through the template parameters with Robs help, the old JB Library was much easier though

I'm trying to minimise what I need to install on the site, it's already gone way overboard

Thanks everyone for your help!

Thanks Mark.
