BUG: jQuery loss (can't use jQuery after import image_cropping.js)

[FedeG]

Can't use jQuery after: "jQuery.noConflict(true)(function() {image_cropping.init();}); "
in: https://github.com/jonasundderwolf/django-image-cropping/blob/master/image_cropping/static/image_cropping/image_cropping.js

[FedeG]

Because "jQuery.noConflict(true)" overwrites $ and jQuery with previous version.
The correct usage is jQuery.noConflict() directly

There is an older issue (#19) concerning the same subject.

All we do is to remove the jQuery that we included to make the widget work.
So you shouldn't rely on this jQuery version for anything you do in the admin.
Nevertheless django.jQuery and every jQuery you included separately should stay intact.

The only potential problem I can see is the recently added option to make Image Cropping NOT include its own jQuery version: https://github.com/jonasundderwolf/django-image-cropping#custom-jquery
Have you eventually set IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL to None?

[FedeG]

Yes, i tried to configure the IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL to None but neither worked.

Additionally, i tried to configure the IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL with a valid url jQuery and load jQuery after but neither worked.

I can see the issue in the first case and we'll look into it.

Concerning the second case: As I said, this is the intended behaviour.
Either you include another jQuery yourself or you use Django's jQuery which is available as django.jQuery

I'm having the same issue.
Using jquery.noconflict removes the existing jquery. When combined with IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL = None this means no more jquery for me :-(

[anrie]

@RaphaelKimmig Yes, I can see the issue.
There should be a check in image_cropping.js if IMAGE_CROPPING_JQUERY_URL was set to None and if this is the case, we shouldn't use .noConflict() so the JQuery provided by the user is left intact.

However I start thinking that the None-Option was maybe not best idea in the first place and we should simply restore the old behavior.

@RaphaelKimmig Can you check if this solves your problem: https://github.com/jonasundderwolf/django-image-cropping/tree/issue69/jquery_url?

[RaphaelKimmig]

@anrie Indeed it does. Thank you very much :-)

On another note - when installing django-image-cropping directly from git (via setup.py install) the static files are not included in the app folder. I noticed they are not listed in the manifest. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

[anrie]

Okay, there is a new release (1.0.2) that should solve this issue.

@RaphaelKimmig The static files should now be included if you install directly from Github.

@anrie Awesome, thank you!
