jquery not defined error

    Hey there,

    I’ve got this plugin installed on a new site that’s currently in development.

    I am using a custom theme, and a custom version of jQuery.

    I unregister the built in jQuery and register and enqueue my own version.

    The issue is that the cookie code –

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
	if(!catapultReadCookie("catAccCookies")){//If the cookie has not been set
		jQuery("#catapult-cookie-bar").show();
		jQuery("html").css("margin-top","30px");
	}
});

    is being loaded at the start of wp_footer, which is before jQuery is being loaded.

    By changing
    add_action ( 'wp_footer', 'catapult_add_cookie_js' );

    to

    add_action ( 'wp_footer', 'catapult_add_cookie_js', 1000 );

    It made the code load after jquery had loaded in the footer.

    My question is – would it be possible for you to add this to the plugin as default or optional behavior?

    Many Thanks,
    Mike

  • Hi

    Just to clarify – is this only happening when you use your theme which is loading a custom version of jQuery?

    Hey,

    Thanks for the speedy response ??

    I just installed your plugin on another site which uses the built in version of jQuery and it worked without issue.

    So it does appear to be due to the fact I am deregistering and then reregistering jQuery that’s causing the problem.

    I can’t see any compatibility issue with applying my fix, but you will have a much better idea of if that’s likely to break other people’s installs.

    Thanks again,
    Mike

    Unfortunately, I’ve never tested the plugin against non-standard versions of jQuery. I’d recommend sticking to the default version.

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I think I might not have explained myself very well.

    I am not using a non-standard version of jQuery, i’m just not using the version supplied with wordpress. All i’m doing is swapping out the built in version for v2.1.1

    The issue i’m having is a result of loading jQuery in the footer, instead of in the header.

    The code from the plugin was being loaded and called before jquery had loaded. I was able to mitigate this by adding a low priority to the plugin script code (as shown in my original post).

    As its quite a simple fix, i thought i would ask if you were able to add it into the plugin. All the fix does is cause the plugin script to load later in the wp_footer action. Because of this, it shouldn’t have any negative side affects for anyone, as most people will have jQuery loading in the header anyway.

    For those of us who have chosen to load jQuery i the footer, this fix will do the job.

    If it’s not something your willing to put into the plugin, then thats not a problem and will find a different way to make it work on my site and close this thread.

    Many Thanks again, the plugin is awesome ??

    Thanks. I think I probably wouldn’t call it a fix, more a feature request, as it works fine with the version of jQuery shipped with WP (which is what I meant by standard version). So unfortunately it’s not something we’re likely to implement.
