jQuery errors when using GoogleAPI version

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hi folks,

I am using jQuery quite heavily in my project, and as with most projects I do, I have included jQuery via the Google API rather than the Yii scriptMap.


$cs=Yii::app()->clientScript;

$cs->scriptMap=array(

    'jquery.js'=>false,

    'jquery.ajaxqueue.js'=>false,

    'jquery.metadata.js'=>false,

);

echo CGoogleApi::init(); 

echo CHtml::script(

    CGoogleApi::load('jquery','1.4.2') . "\n".

    CGoogleApi::load('jqueryui','1.8.0') . "\n" 

);

This reduces load time for our users since they often have this jQuery file already cached from other sites, plus it reduces bandwidth load on our server. I have used it without issue for months, even transitioning from jQuery 1.3.2 to 1.4.2 before Yii 1.1.1 was released.

Now however, I have just been trying to implement CGridView in one of my admin views, and I am getting errors which I am struggling with.


jQuery is not defined

and finally


jQuery("#yw0").yiiGridView is not a function

http://www.....com/<controller>/<action>

Line 144

At first I thought it might be an issue with Yii 1.1.0 and jQuery 1.4.2, but I have since upgraded to 1.1.1 and the problem remains.

If I remove the first codeblock I pasted here, the problem goes away, but I really don’t WANT to use jquery from Yii - I want to use the Google API version for the reasons I specified above. It seems as if the problem MIGHT be caused by the absence of jquery.yii.js, but is there a way to have this included from my application without inclusing the jQuery library as well?

Looks like I have answered my own question. This is my new code block from the top of the main layout file:


$cs=Yii::app()->clientScript;

$cs->scriptMap=array(

    'jquery.js'=>"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js",

    'jquery.ajaxqueue.js'=>false,

    'jquery.metadata.js'=>false,

);

echo CGoogleApi::init(); 

echo CHtml::script(

    CGoogleApi::load('jqueryui','1.8.0') . "\n" 

);

While it does not use the Google API, the end result is the same, except that the Yii script dependency chain is not broken (which I found in framework/web/js/packages.php).
