In another discussion about JA Purity II menu’s problem with new Mootools 1.2, are described 3 solutions:

Do I need to make ALL these changes, or the solution given in post 27 makes the previous two (post 14) or one of the two, useless?
Does the template loose any functionality with the changes suggested in post 14?

thank you very much, Andrea

1. No need to throw away Mootools for jQuery 🙂 Either way the admin backend is heavily relying upon it. It’s a decision the J team took to use Mootools and I fully respect that.

2. Add an option to enable/disable MOOTOOLS and other core javascript files for the frontend. This option could exist in the “Global Configuration” page of Joomla 1.5. Also, provide an option to use the “packed”, full or perhaps a gzipped version of Mootools. Loading around 100kb for a js framework is overkill for any website. These options could be a dropdown list for selecting if one wants to include mootools, caption.js, both or nothing at all and another dropdown for choosing whether to use the full library, packed or gzipped (if Mootools is enabled of course).

3. Allow for “on demand” loading of Mootools even if they are disabled globally ONLY if some component requests for it. This is aimed towards extension developers, much like we did with loading css/js files on the head in J1.0.x. (addcustomhead).

excuse me Amandasmith, but I don’t understand…

My question is about the mootools upgrade (to 1.2.4 version if I’m not wrong) required in Joomla 1.5.x to use Kunena 1.7.x, and the fact that enabling this new mootools version there’s a problem with JA Purity II’s menu.
In another discussion 3 solutions are described: I was asking if I need to apply all these 3 changes or just one or 2 of them.
