Question JQuery an Mootol

As reported sometimes on Rockettheme (and some other) Fireboard (or the Template) has a problem with mootols and JQuery.

Is there a solution for this?

Will I there be same issue with Kunena?

I think that you are referring to jQuery.noConflict(); method!

I had that problem with FireBoard and YooTheme and some jQuery modules.

The solution is quite simple.
FireBoard solution was in editing this file:
components/com_kunena/fireboard.php

Find this code: And add this:

This method can go anywhere after loading JQuery. This fix will not only work with JQuery and MooTools, but JQuery and any other frameworks it may have conflict with. They can be fixed in a similar way. A helpful hint if this doesn't work is to check if you're loading JQuery first, and then MooTools. If that's the case, you will want to switch the loading points of these frameworks, so that JQuery gets loaded later.

I hope this works on kunena forum too! (if there is that problem at all for someone)

Yes it does, this is not a problem with kunena nor fireboard itself, but of rocketthemes, joomlart, and so many others using old/modified jqueries

FireBoard didn't do jQuery.noConflict(), but Kunena does. Unfortunately there was some regression in 1.0.7b and most of the JavaScript didn't work.

Going forward (K1.0. this should be a none issue. This has been fixed and we have upgraded to the latest jquery libraries. This site is running both mootols and jquery without problems.

The only issue left is with JomSocial which also loads another jquery version on our pages due to the integration - we need a fix for that but the impact is minor. It does however create those jquery.cookie errors.

Also other components may load their own jQuery. Those might break Kunena too..
