[rubenscd]

slider() don't load with jquery-ui latest version

example with 5.1.0 bootstrap-slider version http://jsfiddle.net/4nw35fue/
I'm sorry, I could not locate a cdn with version 5.1.1 to test tb.

You did not load bootstrap-slider at all. You can try to use http://rawgit.com/ if that's your hold up, but as is, the jsfiddle isn't showing anything.

I'm trying http://jsfiddle.net/rubenscd/4nw35fue/1/ (with branch master) don't work.

That's because it's probably cached. You have to link to a specific commit. Also, why are you using jQuery UI anyway? See #442.

have tried the bootstrapSlider() today, without caching, worked perfectly, thank you.

Sounds good to me.

@seiyria Sounds not good to me.
You have to bind the alias bootstrapSlider in any case, even if the slider function is undefined. Your actual solution doesn't work at all if jQuery-ui-slider is loaded after your script. This line of code is just binding the alias if the slider function already exist. If your script is loaded before ui slider, this one will simply override your .slider() function, without checking if it already exists or not.

Jquery-ui-slider is almost loaded by default by wordpress on the admin side. For some reasons, developpers often need others libs than jquery-ui, even if the features are almost the same. The problem is that we can't dequeue ui-slider because it's often loade by others plugins and so on ...

So, calling .slider() initiate jquery-ui slider instead of yours, calling .bootstrapSlider() return an undefined function. It's quite not good for you because a lot of users would abandon your script to switch to another solution, for a reported problem since a so long time, and still unfixed (#132).

Hope that can help you.

Best regards.

I still think it's quite simple: don't use two slider libraries.

Really stupid mind. When you are developping an app using dependencies, and sub-dependencies, both libs can be loaded by different libs/plugins/authors.
I've never seen someone yet saying : "my lib is conflicting with another one ? It's your fault, use only my lib, not the other one !" This is so hilarous. You should be the only one who makes app created 100% by yourself, for sure ..

I don't quite appreciate the snide remarks, as I've mostly held off commenting further in this issue.

Oh yeah ? what did you comment about my issues since I came here ? Nothing, except "hey! give me a PR". So, I don't care that you do not appreciate my snide remarks, a kid like you just deserve them.

The other thread was locked for a reason. This one will now be too.
