    Hello smiley

    I recently used 9.6.1 for a new site. All my other sites are running 9.5

    I noticed in the default template for 9.6.1 there is no reference in the header to:

    <script src="[(base_url)]manager/media/script/scriptaculous/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="[(base_url)]manager/media/script/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    Are these no longer necessary for 9.6.1?

    What is now necessary that needs to be in the template header?

    Regards,

    Ken Roberts
    • Most of the default content has been converted to use mootools rather than scriptaculous and prototype. There is no requirement for any of these things to be in your front-end pages, though certain add-ons like QuickEdit will automatically insert what it needs (i.e. you’ll need to watch out for conflicts with such tools).
      • I think the DocManager Module may still uses prototype, but have not verified this.

          I think the DocManager Module may still uses prototype, but have not verified this.
          But (to avoid any confusion) this does not in any way affect scripts being generated into front-end web pages you create with MODx.
