Hi!

I'm testing new SIG Pro and I found a conflict with google maps plugin:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-&-images/maps/1147/details

I installed both of them on my test site and when I use them separately on same article, I have no problems, but when I include them both, only SIG is displayed correctly, while google maps plugin is not visible.
This happens regardless of which one of them is put first in the article.

Example:
keeper-new.sharanet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=237:sig-pro-test&catid=25:razno&Itemid=44

The article code is below:

Google maps:

{gmap width='400'|height='300'|lat='52.052312'|lon='4.447141'|zoom='3'| zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Satellite'| showMaptype='1'|overview='0'|text='sv DWO'|lang='en'}

SIG Pro:
{gallery}razno/studentski_dani:200:150:1:2{/gallery}




Any idea what might be a problem?

Try changing the popup engine for SIG Pro - see which one does not conflict. ;)

Hi!

Here are the results: The ones powered by jQuery are the ones causing the conflict: SlimBox2, Pretty Photo, ColorBox, FancyBox.

There is no conflict if used others popup engines.

Soooo, what's the verdict? :)

It this a bug? When can we expect a fix to be released?

Hello!

It's me again.  :D

Any news on this subject? Is this a bug on sig pro side or google maps plugin side?

Regards,

Mario.

Hi Fotis!

I did my homework and look what I found:
docs.jquery.com/Core/jQuery.noConflict
docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

I'm also in touch with the author of googlemaps plugin and he also pointed me to similar:
tech.reumer.net/google-maps/documentation-of-plugin-googlemap/checklist-placing-plugin-in-article.html
www.designvsdevelop.com/using-mootools-and-jquery-together-in-joomla/


I quote:
"Framework conflicts are a common problem people run into when using jQuery. While jQuery provides some tricks you can use to get around this, you may still run into issues when Joomla! generates MooTools effects. While writing the second edition of Learning Joomla! Extension Development, I decided to do a chapter on JavaScript and look into this problem a little bit more closely. It turns out you have to make sure MooTools loads before jQuery, then use one of the tricks detailed on jquery.com."


Now.. I added following line in jw_sigpro/popup_engines/jquery_prettyphoto/popup.php:
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>


The line is positioned in:
<script type="text/javascript" src="www.google.com/jsapi">
<script type="text/javascript">google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");</script>
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script src="'.$popupPath.'/js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$popupPath.'/js/DD_belatedPNG_0.0.7a-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        DD_belatedPNG.fix(\'.pp_left,.pp_right,a.pp_close,a.pp_arrow_next,a.pp_arrow_previous,.pp_content,.pp_middle\');
</script>
<![endif]-->


And now I can use jQuery pop-up engine along with googlemaps plugin.

Example:
keeper-new.sharanet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=237:sig-pro-test&catid=25:razno&Itemid=44

Maybe this line should be added in next revision of Sig Pro for all jQuery pop-up engines?
In the mean time, I can provide a patch if needed.

Regards,

Mario.

We are aware of this issue and that is why we are ALREADY using jQuery based engines in no conflict mode (with the jQuery(..) wrapper call to be exact).

So it must be an issue related to the other plugin. ;)

Hi Fotis!

I'm not very convinced in that, since SigPro stopped bugging GoogleMaps plugin only after I added the line I explained earlier.

Looks like jQuery has a documented issue with mootols (and not only with them) and they proposed the procedure how to fix it.

Regards,

Mario.

Just wanted to note that current version of Sig PRo plugin has the same problem with google maps plugin and patching as indicated above is needed.

Is it possible this small change in code (1 line per jquery pop-up engine) to be added in standard package for future releases?

Regards,

Mario.
