Hello XWiki team & users,

First of all thanks a lot for your great work.

I’ve set up XWiki as an intranet website (version 5.2.1). Currenty I’m trying to customize it with some javascript to make life easier for the users.

I experimented a bit with jQuery (as I have a bit of experience with it) and have successfully integrated it into a test page via the jQuery Helpers Extension (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/jQuery+Helpers) Now I want to include a jQuery Plugin which extends the jQuery functions. I’d like to try out the live tiles in Windows 8 style from Drew Greenwell (http://www.drewgreenwell.com/projects/metrojs).

It’s no big deal to get the liveTiles working - On a local webserver without Xwiki. Here’s the problem: The functions from metrojs seem to collide with prototype.js. I experimented a bit with jQuerynoConflict(); , I tried to rename the functions inside metroJS.js, but nothing worked so far. Firebug says ‘$ele.attr is not a function’ inside the metrojs-Code in the console, which I believe is a problem with prototype.js. (See for the XWiki test page code at the end of the mail – I won’t post the whole MetroJS-Code here, it’s a little big).

My questions are: a) Is there a possibility to deactivate / rename / “defuse” prototype.js, or to listen for another shortcut than $ on this page (something like prototypeNoConflict();) ?

No, prototype is not really able to do this and much of XWiki and extension js depends on $ being bound to prototype.

b) Has anyone of you any experience with jQuery plugins (or even better, Metrojs!) in XWiki and maybe a hint?

I have experience with jquery, as of XWiki 5.2 you can access that using requirejs. require(['jquery'], function ($) { $('#xwikicontent').append('<p>hello world</p>') }); I recommend wrapping metrojs in a similar function to avoid conflicts while still giving it access to jquery as it requires.

c) Is there a possibility of producing some kind of “liveTiles” with prototype.js (which I’m not very experienced with)

prototype is (gingerly) moving toward retirement and the best support will always be found in the jQuery world. http://sstephenson.us/posts/you-are-not-your-code Thanks, Caleb

I know it’s more of a javascript-related question, so thanks a lot for reading this anyway.

Regards Ruben

BTW might be a good time to document the requirejs feature in XWiki Caleb? (You forgot to do so when you introduced it, you only added it in the release notes but not in the documentation) :) Thanks -Vincent On 4 Dec 2013 at 17:33:08, Ruben M.

Thanks for your hint with require.js, it seems to be an interesting concept, though it might be beyond my js-skills :-) But i think i'll give it a try. I found the following code at stackoverflow: (function (factory) { if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) { // AMD. Register as an anonymous module. define(['jquery'], factory); } else { // Browser globals factory(jQuery); } }(function ($) { $.fn.jqueryPlugin = function () { // Put your plugin code here }; })); Is it enough to create a js-File like that and register it in the javascript.vm under 'paths:', or do i have to change more things in that file or somewhere else? (produced errors so far...) I found something about jquery in the require.js in the js-folder. Regards, Ruben

Hi Caleb, After several tries i gave up on the requirejs-implementation in Xwiki. For me, it seems like jQuery plugins also use $ for their functions, but are not beeing connected to jQuery although inside the require-function. (in this case: "$(...).liveTile() is not a function.") I saw your documentation on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/JavaScriptAPI, thanks for that. Do you (or anyone else) know a Xwiki-page where i can analyze a working jQuery plugin with $-functions? I'm not sure about whether to use shim, map, registrating the metrojs as a module or none of that.

Hi Caleb, Finally some good news concerning require.js and my plugin. It is working although it's only possible when I include the metrojs-code in the page itself. (<script src="...">) As soon as I refer to it as an extension inside XWiki(Velocity - JSX), I run into errors - I came to the conclusion that it has to be either a speed issue combined with the asyncronous loading that require.js does or related to the order in that XWiki handles velocity an on-page-scripts. After that I tried to register it with require.js as a shim (seems to be a functionality to include dependent scripts like plugins), but no success so far. I think I will stick with this solution until I either get used to require.js and shim or prototype gets retired J Thanks a lot for your support!

Dezember 2013 17:32 An: Müller, Ruben Betreff: Re: jQuery plugin - Conflict with prototype.js Hi Ruben, If you're wrapping the metrojs script in a require(['jquery'], function($) { <all_metrojs_code_goes_here> }) call then I'm not sure there much else you can do other than manually searching through metrojs and hunting down the places where it uses window.$ which defeats the wrapper. Sorry I couldn't bring better news. Thanks, Caleb On 12/18/2013 02:24 PM, Ruben M. wrote:
