Hi Jed,

Hello, I am porting Exhibit 3 to an existing Drupal app and have some
questions as to the choice of using '$' instead of jQuery in the
bundled scripts. In order to get exhibit to work I had to manually
edit each script and replace $ with jQuery. There must be another way
around this yes? I tried writing a jQuery no-conflict script, but that
was not working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Currently it's working,
however I am not happy with having to modify the core. Here is a link
to the page if this helps,

I'm afraid this is access-restricted
Thanks for pointing this out. Exhibit has (in my usage) generally been
the only thing going on in a page, and any other code would be concerned
with modifying its behavior. Clearly that isn't the best assumption to
be making.
Since we're working on at least 3 tools that combine exhibit with
something else, I agree. So far it hasn't been a problem because all
the tools we've used have made the same assumption that $=jQuery.
Jed, which particular tool have are you using that does not make this
assumption?
I used $ because it made typing easier and lines shorter (nothing deep
there). I'm familiar with the use of closures to $ within a restricted
scope, as most jQuery plugins do, but with our code base spread out over
a lot of files, I am loathe to go down that road. I suppose we could
just make the switch to use "jQuery" instead, though if you know of any
other way we can have our cake and eat it too - the simplicity of $
without causing conflicts - I'd be interested to hear it. I'll see what
else I can find on the topic.
If nothing else, we could make sure the compressed version of Exhibit
substitutes all $ usage for jQuery.
Since we have already separate the creation of a "distribution" of
exhibit from the underlying codebase, we could in theory do the same for
the uncompressed version of exhibit, for example using using the closure
of $ you mention by programmatically wrapping every js file in
function($) {
the file
}(Exhibit.jQuery);
as we copy it to dist.
Thanks,
Jed
