I am trying to install Featured Content Gallery plugin to my iNove themed website.
But whenever I activate Featured Content Gallery my drop downs for iNove stop working.
I have tried to do some research, and I think there is a conflict between jquery that inove uses and mootools - which featured content gallery uses.
Is there anyway to make these 2 play nice together?
Thanks
Yes, there is. Mootools and jquery don't really like each other if you try to call them at the same time. Read this article on my site: http://mindshare.eamann.com/talk-it-out/
I ran into this problem when I was using a e-commerce plug-in, too. This solution worked for me and so far everyone else who's tried it. Give it a whirl and let me know if you have any questions.

ericmann, you rule. I've had my skivvies in a knot on this one for over an hour, trying to solve a "vanishing drop down menu" issue in inove ( after setting up the featured content gallery ). Talk about hitting a nail squarely on the head. Your fix worked like a charm.
Thanks!
@ClaytonJames - Glad I could help.

I seem to be having the same problem, but a different cause. I'm not using Featured Content Gallery, but mootools for an image slideshow. I get the error
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: /wp-content/themes/inove/js/mootools.js :: anonymous :: line 2004" data: no]
On line 2004 of mootools there is: if (this.addEventListener) this.addEventListener(type, fn, false);
I have no knowledge of javascript whatsover, but I've noticed that if I remove base.js and menu.js, the error is gone. So obviously, it's these javascripts conflicting.
Since neither of them are plugins (but I integrated the slideshow in the theme), I can't use ericmann's solution. Can anybody help me? I really need both scripts.
@GsJosh - How are you loading the scripts in your theme? Are you calling them directly in the HTML code or using WordPress' wp_enqueue_script() function?
If you're calling it directly, I'd recommend you instead move to the wp_enqueue_script() method. Place each script in its own function call and be sure to set the dependency variable. This will tell the site which script to load when and *might* fix your interference problem.
