Hetz: I am, for the first time, realizing I should be enqueuing my scripts.

Hetz: So I have wp_enqueue_script’jquery’; in a function and it appears just fine in the wp_head;

Hetz: Https://codex.----escape_autolink_uri:a03ded6cd97ffffa8f7b4e1454f3eecc----.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

Hetz: That link states that jQuery-UI has a dependency of jQuery which makes sense.

Hetz: So here’s what I am working on.

Hetz: Wp_enqueue_script’jquery-ui-core’, ”, array’jquery’ ;

Hetz: The problem is that second argument which is for Source, but is also “optional”.

Hetz: Since jQuery-ui is “included in the box”, I shouldn’t have to include the source, afterall I didn’t with jquery.

Hetz: But my PHP Foo is weak, and I don’t know how to skip that second argument while including the dependecy arguement.

Hetz: It doesn’t like being blank, and it doesn’t like being left out if there’s a third.

Hetz: But it’s “optional”. :/

Hetz: I _thought_ that the ” was the proper way to include, but skip, and argument that’s a string

Hetz: But if I leave it out I get an error, and if I have it in. it does Kahahane.

Savaria: Jquery comes with wordpress, you should not be adding it again.

Hetz: Well, yes. But I SHOULD be enqueuing it.

Hetz: I am not registering it.

Hetz: But after I enqueue jQuery, I’m not able to also enqueue jQuery-ui-core :/

Bogart: I think opsec is saying you shouldn’t be enqueing it because it is included in wp-includes

Hetz: Hmmm. not saying I’m right; but everything I’ve read says that I NEED to enqueue it, or how else is my theme supposed to know I want to use it?

Hetz: Https://codex.----escape_autolink_uri:a03ded6cd97ffffa8f7b4e1454f3eecc----.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

Hetz: This shows a TON of scripts that are “included in the box” but not all of them are initialized.

Hetz: This is all so I can then begin calling some scripts I DO want to register, custom ones, but I need to get jQuery, Ui, and ui-effects running first.

Hetz: IF I understand correctly.

Lauderman: My understanding is that you enqueue the .js files that which are in your theme. these files can be written in jquery

Hetz: I mean, before tonight, I just hard-coded that **** right into the head but found out that’s bad-joojoo

Schroyer: Hetz: Please help us keep Orchard a family friendly room, and avoid using foul language.

Vincent: And because jquery is loaded with wordpress, you don’t have to enqueue jquery itself

Hetz: You MIGHT be right, but while it’s packaged, everything I’ve read says it’s not initialized by default. :/

Hetz: Anywho I can enqueue IT just fine, and it shows up in the source under head where the wp_head; would be.

Hetz: But jQuery-ui-core. not so much.

Hetz: Http://pastebin.com/5GytXYbB

Hetz: Essentially this should just work.

Hetz: And without the UI line it does. WITH the UI line jquery shows up encapsulated in script/script properly in the head

Purvines: What are you trying to do with jQuery-ui-core

Hetz: Firstly, enqueue it. So I can then register other scripts that are dependant on it.

Hetz: Only I am taking this one step at a time.

Hetz: So without even DOING anything with it, that code SHOULD make it show up in the head

Wrinkle: Have you tried using jquery without enqueuing jquery

Hetz: Indeed. A new theme, without hardcoding a path in the head, or properly enqueuing it, doesn’t know to use it.

Hetz: As I said, before tonight I’ve always just hard-coded them. But I found out that’s not “best practices”.

Hetz: So I am trying to do things the “right” way, but hitting a wall as to why this won’t work.

Steinhour: Have you seen any other themes explicitly do what you’re trying to do

Huy: Hi everyone. Question. How can I create a many to many relationship between users? I know it can’t be done by default. So the question is. what do I need to extend or hack? I’m open to any article or plugin with a similar aproach. in order to test some posibilities
