Enqueueing scripts only if not in queue already

    Hi, I am developing a plugin which uses Fancybox jQuery plugin. For completeness, I am including the Fancybox script in the plugin package. However, I don’t want to load id from my plugin if it is already loaded by something else.

    Effectively, I want to make sure that Fancybox isn’t added multiple times.

    Is there a way that I can find out what scripts are already in the script queue (from wp_enqueue_script) in order to prevent loading the script multiple times?

    if it has been loaded via wp_enqueue_script then it will only get loaded once – even if added multiple times.

    I am not entirely sure that is true. If two different plugins load the Fancybox jQuery javascript file but they give it different tags (argument 1 to wp_enqueue_script), how would wp_enqueue_script know that it is the same thing?

    Of course, I as type this, I am realizing that there really isn’t a way to have a fool-proof way to get what I want done.

    I am trying to get around the fact that the Fancybox for WordPress plugin and my plugin include two different version of the Fancybox javascript which conflict with each other.

    test it… probably the only way you will know for sure.
