jQuery

Moodle 2.5

WORK IN PROGRESS

YUI is the recommended library for development of Moodle plugins or customisations. However due to significant demand it will be possible to use also jQuery in Moodle 2.5 and later.

Examples

Basic jQuery in custom theme

1. create /theme/sometheme/lib.php file if it does not exist yet
2. add new function theme_sometheme_page_init to the lib.php file (replace 'sometheme' with real name of your theme)
3. use jQuery in theme layout files

// inside file: /theme/sometheme/lib.php file function theme_sometheme_page_init($page) {

   $page->requires->jquery();

}
