Question mootools 1.2.4 from google in joomla and kunena

as we know that the BBCode buttons of the editor do not work with old mootools and we need to activate mootools upgrade.

but mootools from joomla has large size so i want to use the one from google ajax api library
,as it takes less bandwidth also, But i dont know why kunena editor buttons are not working with this mootools 1.2.4 library from google ,its size is as less as 22kb.
so ineed it
plz help

HI,

Unfortunately you cannot take any subset of mootools and assume the functions removed are not used. Sure you can make it smaller, but you are also cutting out functionality - functionality most likely used for the bbcode editor.

Having said that the libraries shipped with Joomla are already very small when you setup your server correctly, so that the files a gzip compressed. If you check out site, you will see that the Joomla version of mootools.js is 32.9kB and that is for everything you need to run Joomla and Kunena - even with the legacy code included to make older apps run. Joomla 1.6 wont have that legacy modes and will have slightly smaller libraries.

Having said that - we are still loading too many js and css files for a site like ours. Something we will be working on for K1.7

Hope this helps!

i just want to know how to use mootools library provided by the code.google.com instead of the one provided by joomla,
(google is providing both old and new versions of mootools)

Simple answer: You cannot without breaking it.

whatever kunea rocks, hope you guys reslove the size issue as i need to load the massive mootools file
all the best, else kunena rocks

This is not Kunena issue -- it's Mootools 1.1 compatibility layer in Joomla which is needed to get old templates and extensions to work. It also contains Mootools More, which isn't inside Google version..

Kunena doesn't have Mootools, it just uses it.
