Javascript errors from third party add-ons

    Hello,

    I’m trying to help out an office on campus with an EE problem.  I first must admit that my knowledge of EE is pretty thin.  This office is using EE v2.5.3 with a number of third party modules, accessories, extensions, etc…  There have been several issues with the add-ons not working the way that they expected. 

    For example, they are using NSM Live Look .  It wasn’t working properly - when you went to admin->extensions->NSM Live Look, you couldn’t add any URLs.  I started debugging the problem and I noticed that I was getting a javascript error, “corner is not a function”,  from the Template Variables add-on.  I upgraded to the latest Template Variables add-on which didn’t seem to reference the corner function anymore.  The result was no more javascript error plus it solved the problem they were having with NSM Live Look.  I assumed that corner was an old function that was no longer used with EE.

    Now they are having problems with the Date Field Filter extension.  While trying to debug this problem I started seeing the same javascript error again (“corner is not a function”) in my error console, but this time the error was coming from AJW Selected Items. Again, they are using an older version of AJW Selected Items which references the corner function.  In addition, I noticed that when I go to edit one of their channel entries, I’m getting the javascript error “tablesorter is not a function” from the NSM Morphine Theme. 

    I did some searching around and I found the tablesorter function as well as the corner function in themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/plugins (off the EE root directory). It seems to me that these javascript functions are not getting loaded properly (and I just got lucky before when I upgraded the Template Variables add-on because it no longer used the corner function). But I just don’t know enough about EE to know how they are supposed to get loaded.

    I don’t know if fixing these javascript errors will solve the current problem they are having with the Date Field Filter extension but I feel that I need to get them resolved first before I can move on.  Can anyone shed any light on this problem or at least educate me on how this is suppose to work?

    Thanks in advance.

    No, I did not find a solution to this problem.  Perhaps my earlier post was too confusing to get a response but the gist of the problem is in the fourth paragraph - that is, why are the jquery functions such as corner and tablesorter not getting loaded properly.
