WP-ecommerce Conflict?

[DPC]

I just tried installing WP-ecommerce and it does not play nice with Featured Content Gallery (FCG).
The end result is FCG is rendered useless and in the Revolution "Church" template all the images appear in vertical stack on the page.

Here's some more info on the error as captured by FireBug. I also attached a screen shot, so you can see what's happening with the FCG photos. In my case you can see that the image is appearing between the "news" and "reviews" section and continues all the way down the page..

wp-eccomerce uses jquery framework, fcg uses motools framework, they are not compatible

[DPC]

I noticed that JQuery offers the following solution when working on the same page as other libraries.

jQuery.noConflict()

Is there a chance to motools offers the same.. Surely there must be a hack that can be applied?

There's a quick and easy solution to this problem (if you understand PHP).

Step 1:
Add the following lines to your theme's header.php file immediately below the call to wp_head():

Code: Select all

<?php if(is_front_page()) do_action('jdm_head'); ?>

Step 2:
Open the main file for the Featured Content Gallery (content-gallery.php) and edit the following lines <em>at the end</em> of the file:

Code: Select all

/* we want to add the above xhtml to the header of our pages: */
add_action('wp_head', 'gallery_styles');
add_action('admin_menu', 'gallery_options_page');

Change them to:

Code: Select all

/* we want to add the above xhtml to the header of our pages: */
add_action('jdm_head', 'gallery_styles');
add_action('admin_menu', 'gallery_options_page');

Assuming the featured content gallery is on the front page of your blog (like it is on mine) this completely solves the conflict problems between the two plug-ins.

You can check out the interaction live on my site. The home page is http://www.jumping-duck.com and the e-commerce store is http://www.jumping-duck.com/store.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for this fix Eric

Hi,
I am using both wp-e-commerce and Featured Content Gallery on my site. I followed the steps mentioned above for fixing the conflict for the gallery. But, after doing this, gallery starts displaying in Firefox and IE7 but not in Safari.
How to fix this issue in Safari? Please help me out.
Thanks,
Shweta

I've applied this code change and still doesn't work for me. I even went so far as to disable the Wp-Ecommerce Plugin and still the FCG content doesnt' show up.

I have no idea what else to try right now - about ready to throw in the towel and request a refund for the Corporate theme after 3 days of trying to get this to work.

I've now gone so far as to remove all previous test posts, uninstall the WP-Ecommerce plugin and created two new test posts. Following the EXACT procedure for FCG, I created the two new entries with the two custom fields. And the results: Still nothing showing up.

I even reverted back to WP 2.7.1 to see if this was an issue with WP 2.8 (which is having it's own set of issues with Javascript I've discovered)

What else should I try???

I'm having the same exact conflict between featured content and wp-ecommerce. I also tried the above fixes but no luck. All that's showing up where featured content should be is a 1px border outline but thats it. Any other advice???
