jQuery Frustration and Layouts

Check existing rvm, ruby, rails config:

$ rails -v
Rails 3.0.11
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-darwin10.8.0]
$ rvm list

rvm rubies

=* ruby-1.8.7-p302 [ i686 ]
   ruby-1.9.2-p180 [ x86_64 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default

Removed the following line from application.html.erb

<%= javascript_include_tag "bj_folio", "jquery", "jquery.scrollTo", "jquery.isotope.min", "jquery.localscroll"  %>

(left this include tag for application)

<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>

And added these lines to application .js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bj_folio
//= require jquery.scrollTo
//= require jquery.localscroll
//= require jquery.isotope.min
//= require jquery.infinitescroll.min
//= require fake-element
//= require fancybox
//= require custom
//= require_tree .

Useful reference for layouts and rendering


Ok, so the application.js lines with //=require jquery, etc are not doing anything.  When I look at the page source, all I see are the scripts referenced in application.html.erb.  So I removed all those requires from the application.js and put back the line in application.html.erb that lists all the js files I think I need.

I also because the application.html.erb file has the line:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag :all %>

I can remove the contents of the _stylesheets.html.erb file.

Page source indicates it finds all the css files in public/stylesheets.

Ok, so no more GET errors when I'm trying to load the homepage.  However, not seeing ANY of the images or js stuff.

Trying to cleanup the home.html.erb file.  Left comments in the file for what I did.
Saw the h5 text in mainmenu go white.  Removed the style-dark.css file and works ok.  Looks like that file's not used anyway (see style.css has that commented out) and conflicts with the style-minimal.css.

Looking more into jquery and rails 3, I added the following line into the application.rb file (inside the application class).

config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] = %w(jquery rails)

jquery github page for reference.
