jQuery issue on design mode in Kentico 8

giang le asked on October 27, 2014 11:30

Hi All,

After I upgrade Kentico from 7 to 8, we got 1 issue with jQuery. In Kentico 7, I used the code below to register jQuery an it work well in Live Site mode and design mode (CMSDesk):

ScriptHelper.RegisterJQuery(Page);
ScriptHelper.RegisterJQueryUI(Page);
ScriptHelper.RegisterJQueryDialog(Page);

var $ = jQuery.noConflict();

I didn't change this code when I upgrade to Kentico 8. However, it only work when I don't access to Design mode (Home -> Page).

For example:

I open Admin page(Home->Page) on tab 1

I open Live Site on tab 2

The jQuery is not working (we got error "$ is not a function" from browser). However, if I close the tab 1 then reload tab 2 or open Live Site on other browser, jQuery worked as normally.

Please help me to resolve it.

Thank for your reply, Roman!

I read your article and I tried to apply on my site:

I uncomment my code

//ScriptHelper.RegisterJQuery(Page);
//ScriptHelper.RegisterJQueryUI(Page);    
//ScriptHelper.RegisterJQueryDialog(Page);

then embed the jquery link on master page. However, it still not work.

I also search var $cmsj = jQuery.noConflict(); to replace by var $cmsj = jQuery.noConflict(true);, but I cannot search it in jquery-core.js file.

Do you know what occurred with my site? Please suggest for me a best solution?

Hello Giang, as is written in the article, it can be done only on Kentico 8.1 and further. Sorry I didn't mention it in my reply from October 28.

You will need to upgrade your site to Kentico 8.1, which I highly recommend to you because of the fixes in compatibility with jQuery.
