[Proposal] Add more jQuery UI plugins

[Dmitry Rekun]

Hi guys!

I wonder if there is any reason why we do not use all jQuery UI plugins? What do you think about adding more or even all of them? This would be great addition for the frontend developers.

+1

Are there any technical reasons why they are not included?
At least the widgets and effects modules would help out alot.

[Viper]

+1 Dmitry.
I think plugins should be separated from jqueryUI core, so end developers can use jqueryUI w/o their plugins(widgets, effects).

[Daniele Rosario]

Adding to this: what about managing these plugins (and others) like bower does?

So we can also manage dependencies and updates without doing that manually?

In the next major Joomla release, why not? ;)

At the moment a lot of core scripting is done in libraries, Squeezebox (Mootools) and Calendar widget initialisation come to mind. It would be nice if they could be moved to layouts.

OK just wrote it out once but got the path wrong so here we go again :P

<layout plug>

Look at this set of PR's https://groups.google.com/d/msg/joomla-dev-cms/6_MzeyEZ0zQ/oFMeOZ8xzhkJ and this PR moving the majority of form fields into a PR: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/3231

</layout plug>

In terms of jQuery UI - I feel Joomla should only ship with elements it needs. The inclusion method allows the inclusion of any jQuery UI plugins (https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/cms/html/jquery.php#L107) so all you would need to do is include them in your template in 'ROOT/templates/TEMPLATE/js/jui/jquery.ui.PLUGIN.min.js' then stuff the template is using is in the template :P Then the frontend dev's can choose their pace of upgrades as well rather than it being broken one day by a Joomla Update :P As we're moving towards a lighter Joomla I don't see what's wrong with this actually

Kind Regards,

George

of course including the missing jquery ui plugins isn't the problem.

But it would make the life so much easier when all developers have the same base and do not need to worry about multiple inclusion of the plugins by other extensions and thus breaking the own code.

[Viper]

How about backend developers? Store jqueryUI plugins in template folder imho bad idea.

[Dmitry Rekun]

Totally agree with Viper.

BTW George - jquery.ui method currently does not allow any plugin, because it has a restriction ;)

$supported = array('core', 'sortable');

Dmitry

[George Wilson]

Oops :p I fail the reading test :)

[Dmitry Rekun]

So... Anyone has something against? If no then we could start to make a PR for that :)

[Viper]

How about compatibility? Some of bootstrap plugins will conflict with jqueryUI plugins. At least 'button', 'tooltip'.

Can be used for all conflicts with jq UI in same manner.

[Youjoomla.com]

And UI should be loaded before bootstrap.js

[Viper]

Thank you! Looks like a crutches but it works :)

[Youjoomla.com]

Here

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/6303

BS has own noconflict

[Youjoomla.com]

SO 

var bootstrapButton = $.fn.button.noConflict(); 

$.fn.bootstrapBtn = bootstrapButton; 

var bootstrapTooltip = $.fn.tooltip.noConflict(); 

$.fn.bootstrapTlp = bootstrapTooltip;

why do I feel like spamming lol :) sorry . 

[Viper]

I've read github thread and I see that is a big BIG crutches.
I've test a widget.bridge and noconflict but it's works and not. Example. It's doesn't work wit the jqueryUI modal. Buttons still the same as the default(w/o any style). Some tooltips replaced by Bootstrap some not(w/ .hasTip class always 'Bootstraped')...

[Dmitry Rekun]

Can we identify UI plugins that does not have any conflict with the Bootstrap?
