Jquery & CodeIgniter

[eluser]skyrocket777[/eluser]
Can someone please tell me where to put the file jquery.js (or wich one is the file used?) in order to get the instruction:

$this->load->library('jquery');

And be able to used it?

Well, a CodeIgniter Library is actually a PHP class, so your best bet is to make a helper file with a function in that $this->output->set_output() a <script> tag.

you got me even more confused. Sorry but your explanation is poor and has nothing related with the library wiki's page

Ok.

jquery.js is a JAVASCRIPT file. A codeigniter library is a PHP file.

Easiest thing to do now since there isn't a Javascript helper (like there will be in the next version of CI), is to put all your Javascript files at the root in a js folder or something. Then you can call the Javascript files from your views.

You can also let Google host jQuery for you. Put the following in your HTML head:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>

I know what you're talking about. You're referencing the jquery library on the wiki, here: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/jQuery/ & the library is here: http://www.creatieve-cursussen.nl/jquery.phps

The library simply references it like this var $externalJquery='jquery.js'; That will probably not work depending on your controller setup. I'd suggest changing the location in teh library to something like:

Code:

var $externalJquery='/scripts/jquery.js';

or if you're autoloading the URL helper, you could do this:

Code:

var $externalJquery=base_url().'scripts/jquery.js';

so that you'd always be targeting relative to your CI application's root (not the web root)

Actually, looks like you can just set it like this:

Code:

$this->load->library(’jquery’);
$this->jquery->setExternalJquery(URL_TO_YOUR_JQUERY);

But there's no harm in changing the default url in the library either. It'll save you a lot of repetitive typing if you're using the library often in your script.
