[Plugin: WP e-Commerce] jQuery Fix?

    Hi, I’ve installed WP-e-commerce on a blog and I didn’t notice any errors until I updated to the latest wordpress and then tried to install a plugin called gigs calendar. I was wracking my brain as to why I couldn’t get gigs calendar to word so I emailed the writer and he got back to me after loggin in and testing it out

    It looks like the shopping cart plugin that you have on your site is behaving badly and manually including an old version of jQuery (the javascript library) that is breaking my plugin. Some plugins go ahead and include their javascript on every page, whether or not it’s needed. In this case, it’s overwriting the version of jQuery that my plugin is loading for the gigs pages. Unfortunately, unless that plugin’s author fixes his plugin to play nice, the only two options are to disable one plugin or the other, or to modify the shopping card plugin so that it plays nice.

    Is there a fix for this or maybe something which will be fixed in the future release as I don’t wish to deactivate/activate the plugin every time I want to use another feature on wordpress.

    Thanks for your help

    Some plugins have javascript conflicts. Sometimes you can work around this by manually calling the javascript files on selected pages so they don’t conflict. This would be a big pain to edit your template a lot and also hack up your plug ins.

    I think that the “potentially” the calander author should use WP enque which WP e-Commerce use to avoid these types of conflicts. We follow all the WordPress Javascript standards as best we can.

    WP e-Commerce runs on all pages that have the shopping cart in the sidebar and that can’t be stopped – otherwise the shopping cart would not be there 😀

    I’ll think about this some more. Its annoying… if anybody else has some ideas that would be great. Maybe WP 2.7 has some new hooks that make this stuff easier to control.. I’m not sure though.
