JQuery Conflicts WordPress

  • SOLVED

I have some jquery scripts loaded in the following manner:

function jules_scripts() {
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_register_script('superfish', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/superfish.js', 'jquery');
wp_register_script('easing', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js', 'jquery');
wp_register_script('tz_custom', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.custom.js', 'jquery', '1.0', TRUE);
wp_register_script('jquery-ui-custom', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js', 'jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('superfish');
wp_enqueue_script('easing');
wp_enqueue_script('tz_custom');


}
}
add_action('init', 'jules_scripts');


However, when I try to then also load my cufon scripts and a scroller script it stops the other menu scripts working:

I thought by adding the following it would include cufon:

wp_enqueue_script( 'cufon-yui', JULES_JS .'/cufon-yui.js', 'jquery');
wp_enqueue_script( 'colaborate', JULES_JS .'/DejaVu_Sans_Condensed_400.font.js', 'jquery');


Perhaps I am calling the scripts incorrectly in the first place.

Daniele Raimondi answers:

You have to register your scripts before yo can enqueue them. Try to add calls to <strong>wp_register_script</strong> as for the others scripts above.

wp_register_script('cufon-yui', JULES_JS .'/cufon-yui.js', 'jquery');
wp_register_script(colaborate', JULES_JS .'/DejaVu_Sans_Condensed_400.font.js', 'jquery');

wp_enqueue_script( 'cufon-yui');
wp_enqueue_script( 'colaborate');


by the way, can you post a link to the page where those script should load?

----------------
oh, a little suggestion: append this code to the footer.php of your theme

<script type="text/javascript">if(typeof Cufon == 'function') { Cufon.now();} </script>

(but eventually before a google analytics call) for Internet Explorer, otherwise there will likely be a short delay before Cufón does its thing. Applies to other browsers as well in case you’ve got any external scripts in the <body> of the document.

You might want to make more use of the dependency parameter in the registration.

So, for example, if the DejaVu font needs cufon to work, register it like this:

wp_register_script(colaborate', JULES_JS .'/DejaVu_Sans_Condensed_400.font.js', array('jquery', 'cufon-yui'));


and then you only need enqueue the one script:
wp_enqueue_script( 'colaborate');

which will make sure that the Cufon script appears before the Collaborate script.

Without seeing your page it's difficult to know, but I imagine that you could do that for your tz-custom script thus ensuring that scripts were loaded in the desired order.
