Earlier, I posted about the desire for ASP.NET/DotNetNuke to include a standard way of integrating 3rd party script libraries (such as jQuery).
Well, it looks like DNN 5 and ASP.NET will support jQuery! See announcement here.
For DotNetNuke, you can pick a version bundled with DotNetNuke
(default), a hosted version or a debug version. This is great news
because we can now freely use jQuery functionality in our modules and
in our skins (without the risk of script conflicts).
I've been testing the DNN 5 build with Simple Gallery recently, a few problems I ran into are:-
- The default js/jquery link is wrong (broken link), if you switch to
hosted it works OK (in host settings). Although it still includes a
js/jquery link in the head tag (shouldn't it be removed?).
- Using the SWFUploader completely breaks the ajax in the DNN
install. You have to reset the application via host settings to get it
back working. I'm still debugging "why" this is occurring, as all the
flash file does is post to a handler file. The odd thing is that it
breaks for any page you visit after uploading a file.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with RC1? Does anyone know when RC2 is due?
