Ref: Mootools Featured Post Slider
ReplyDeleteFantastic (as always!) I ahve a couple of questions:
1. The slider works great but I am wondering if I can modify how high the post title / text appears in the picture? It presently comes up about 40% it seems but I would like to reduce how high the banner rise up in to the picture. Any ideas?
2. I am sure this is jquery related once again but now the slider works, none of my other jquery (easyzoom, spicebox) now work. Any ideas?
Figured out my #1 question (altered .jdGallery .slideInfoZone height var) but still wondering about #2, none of my other jquery stuff working.
ReplyDelete@ John - Make sure you only have the main jQuery script in yur template once.That will be above </head> and will be end something like "1.4/jquery.min.js".
ReplyDeletePaul - I have only instance of instance of the jquery script - that is why I am confused to be honest. There is obviously a conflict with the slidebar but I cannot find it . . .
ReplyDeleteThe issue Paul is that Mootools and JQuery do not work well together. Tried using jQuery.noConflict() but not sure if I am using it correctly. Stumped. May have to lose the slidebar I am thinking as I need the JQuery stuff to work. . .
ReplyDeletePaul, I have resolved the problem of compatibility issues between the two libraries, MooTools (slider widgets) and JQuery (lots of widgets!). Quite a lot of information if you Google the issue and I don't know if you are interested but I have summarized the resolution in to a few basic steps below.
ReplyDelete1. JQuery and Mootools are incompatible because the $ variable references JQuery but MooTools uses $ also!
2. Solution is to replace JQuery's $ variable with another variable.
3. In Blogger / Design / Edit HTML, perform the the following:
a. Search for jquery.js (should just be one instance)
b. Immediately after you have referenced jquery.js paste the following code:
var J = jQuery.noConflict();
c. For example:
script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'
var J = jQuery.noConflict();
4. Next, replace all instances of $ with J inside your jQuery function
For example, if you were using the spicebook jquery the function would now look like this:
J(function() {
J('a.spicebox') .lightBox({
5. That's it! Make sure you call the other library (in this case, MooTools) AFTER your jquery scripts are closed
@ John - Well done i love when people find a solution to a problem rather than just give up and move on.Thanks for explaining your technique..

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
