Offending extension using its own jquery library error

Post by Catfish » Sun Jan 31, 2016 6:27 am

Today I tried to load my Page Manager on my website and I got this error:
Offending extension using its own jQuery library detected (see manual, section "Limitations").
It is referenced here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6351
but no fix is explained for us laymen.

The site I have it on is: http://www.memorablemomentshire.com

Edit: Solution found.

I have added a <script> tag in my <head> area for loading a Google Maps element:

Code: Select all

<!-- 20150107 jQuery library (served from Google) -->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
If I comment this out of the template the PageManager loads fine.
Seems like I don't even need those <script> lines for my google maps to work. :)

Unfortunately, there is no easy explanation/fix for "laymen".

I'm glad that you found the solution, nonetheless. :)

I will try to explain for the "laymen" :)

If you get this error from PageManager, you have probably loaded jQuery from an external source in (probably) your template.
CMSimple (v1.4 onwards?) already includes jQuery for you, so you don't need to load it in the <head> section. Remove or comment the <script> tags that load jQuery from the external source and see if it fixes the error. If it does, that's what's causing it.
