[12:45:24 CDT(-0500)] <obbo> just the content in wpp
[12:47:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[12:47:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah that would be a problem then
[12:47:39 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you would need to unbind all of the stuff that the WPP content jquery
[12:47:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> is doing
[12:47:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> otherwise it will leak memory
[12:49:55 CDT(-0500)] <obbo> is there anything special i need to do to have the wpp content use uportal's jquery? i removed the request for google's jquery but now it just tells me $ is undefined, like it doesn't see uportal's jquery
[12:50:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so uPortal and all portlet's use jQuery in noconflict mode
[12:50:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> https://wiki.jasig.org/display/PLT/JavaScript+Best+Practices
[12:51:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> uPortal's jQuery instance lives at "up.jQuery"
[12:51:38 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what you should do is wrap javascript that needs a reference to jQuery with:
[12:51:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (function($) {
[12:51:46 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> JSHERE
[12:51:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> })(up.jQuery);
[12:52:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that makes the $ var available but only in the closure
[12:52:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> instead of globally
[12:52:10 CDT(-0500)] <obbo> ah, ok. thanks
[12:52:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which could break other things on the page
[12:52:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> note that WPP has the ability to do pre/post static htmlk
[12:52:27 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so you could add that
[12:52:38 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and pull in a specific version of jquery there
[12:52:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> grab it into a no-conflict reference
[12:53:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> then in the post html you could do that closure to make the $ available
[12:54:58 CDT(-0500)] <obbo> yeah, that sounds like a better idea. the js uses 1.7+ apis a lot. i'll look into that. thanks for all your help
[12:55:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[12:55:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good luck
