Question

Hi all a bit of a noobie jquery problem with codaslider I’m afriad.

I am trying to add codaslider to a page that I am working on however, even after following the examples at http://www.ndoherty.biz/demos/coda-slider/2.0/#1 I am getting errors trying to display the slider.

I am getting in Firebug the following error:

$("#coda-slider-1").codaSlider is not a function
http://localhost/js/ui/landingpage_ui.js
Line 10

This javascript code is done in a onload command when the document loads:

function load(){

    $().ready(function() {
        $('#coda-slider-1').codaSlider({
            dynamicArrows: false,
            dynamicTabs: false
        });
    });

}

The javascript is all being handles by a Zend Framework view so the actual html/php document looks like this:

<?php
$this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl() . '/js/jquery.coda-slider-2.0.js', 'text/javascript');
$this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl() . '/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js', 'text/javascript');
$this->headLink()->prependStylesheet($this->baseUrl() . '/css/coda-slider-2.0.css');
$this->headLink()->prependStylesheet($this->baseUrl() . '/css/reset.css');

$this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl() . '/js/ui/landingpage_ui.js', 'text/javascript');

$this->layout()->bodyScripts = "onload='load()'";

?>

I am using version 2.0 of the codaslider library and 1.4.4 of jQuery main library.

Any reason why this is causing the script not to load and execute? When I look at the source of the page generated everything seems to be there and loaded.

Many thanks.

Answer 1

In case codaSlider plugin is based on easing plugin, you need to include easing first. So just try changing the order:

$this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl() . '/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js', 'text/javascript');
$this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl() . '/js/jquery.coda-slider-2.0.js', 'text/javascript');

And don’t forget to include jquery in the first place, so I’d suggest using prependFile() for jquery at all times:

$this->headScript()->prependFile($this->baseUrl() . '/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js', 'text/javascript');
