Jquery & Vanilla

amphios

Hi guys,

Can I not use any Jquery with Vanilla? Everytime I try to add something Jquery wise it 'Bonks' on me. I'm trying to use the Nivo Slider. Does anyone know a work around or another type of slider that works?

Thanks,
Amphios

I already said the vanilla already uses jquery so there is no need to add it twice.

secondly you are using a smartly template in smarty templates use curly brackets. This is goign to to cause a conflict. To escape wrap in {literal} like so:

{literal} 
   <script type="text/javascript">

   </script>
{/literal}

However I don't see the point having it embedded you might as well have it in a file and src it. It just creates clutter. put it in themes/YourTheme/js/custom.js and it will show up immediately.

That is becuase vanilla has a Head asset, adding title, charset. you can set them via configuration. You can add external script through theme hooks

in themes/YourTheme/class.yourthemehooks.php put

class YourThemeThemeHooks implements Gdn_IPlugin {
    public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) { 
        if(is_object($Sender->Head)){
            $Sender->Head->AddScript('http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery/easing/jquery.easing.1.3.js');
        }
    }
}

We use a slider on one of our themes, forget which one though lol, i think its press

So.. what you're saying is you can use sliders as long as they're the wordpress version? Nivo has a wordpress version.

I've had a look at it. Every time I even try to use any JQ it 'Bonks' on me. Am I missing an important step?

Are you loading the jquery script you want to use? Can you see that it is loaded.
You might consider posting some of your script, and are you using the current version of vanilla and how and where you are adding it? These are some of the questions that come to mind that might get you some answers to solving your issue.

I'll try get the main part of the template working. I'll leave the slideshow till last. I'm in preview mode at the minute.

the server doesn't bonk because of jquery, it just serve resource like javascript that includes jquery, which after all is client side code.

vanilla comes with jquery, you can do anything you can do with jquery.

When Vanilla bonks on you, apply the necessary setting(s) in config.php so you get a better error page.

Search in the forums for which settings to change

It wont let me do any JQ. As soon as I add any, it bonks on me. Ive tried about 20 different ones now.

Take a look at what I added.
