Use jQuery in non-conflicting way --------------------------------- Key: RF-12936 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12936 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: core Affects Versions: 4.3.1 Reporter: Lukáš Fryč Fix For: 5.0.0.Alpha2 Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour The {{richfaces.js}} references both, {{jQuery}} from closure and global {{$}} - this issue is addressed in RF-12833. However jQuery should not be used directly, rather from closures - prefered way is to use {{$}} but its naming now conflicts with {{RichFaces.$}} for component references. I suggest to use following trick: {code:title=richfaces.js} RichFaces.jQuery = RichFaces.jQuery || jQuery; //encapsulation (function($, RichFaces) { // free to use $ here }(RichFaces.jQuery, RichFaces)); {code} It will allow: * provide own jQuery for RichFaces * use libraries which make use of {{$}} (prototype, other jQuery versions) in no-conflicting way
