I installed jQuery UI... is it working?

Posted by webthingee in drupal, jQuery, php, theme

The power and flexibility of the jquery library is pretty awesome. There are a number of reasons that you may want load the files one at a time, or the individual .js files on an as needed basis.

Last week, I completed a blog post on getting jQuery up and running (http://blogthingee.com/blog/getting-jquery-ui-working-drupal-6x)... Now we can see if it is working.

For now, let's just assume you want them all the time, and you want to test them right now, or you simply want to test that you have all of the jquery ui goodness at your fingertips, here is how I would go about it...

Getting JQuery UI working with Drupal 6.x

Posted by webthingee in drupal, drush, jQuery, theme

After several attempts, I believe that I have a pretty good system/process for getting jquery ui to work with drupal 6.x. So I guess it's time to share :)

1. Check Current Jquery Version.
2. Update Jquery with Jquery Update Module
3. Download Jquery UI Module
4. Download the support files for the Jquery UI Module
5. Enable the Jquery UI Module

A Happy Primary Menu Is An Active Primary Menu

I was hard at work on a recent website when I came across an interesting issue, you see I wanted to use a primary menu at the top as main navigation for the website. No dropdowns or anything fancy, just a smooth top horizontal navigation bar.

Additionally, I have a different menu (could one of several options) displayed along the right side based on the content being shown. Now I want my primary menu to display as 'active' when I am somewhere deep within the site on a page that the primary menu has no idea about. So, I want my primary navigation menu item to be active, even tho it has no idea what page I am on.
