[Solved] Turning off default ScriptRegistar

[Greg Rated]

Hi,

I'm already loading up the jquery scripts plus others in my mvc app, how can I turn off the loading of the default scripts in the extension?

Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

I assume that you mean the jQuery UI libs. As far I can tell there is no setting for turning it off. Every jQuery UI class registers a link to the jQuery script files with the Registrar through it's base class JQueryViewComponentBase. If changing the MVC.UI.jQuery lib is an option for you, you could simply remove the registration line in the constructor of the JQueryViewComponentBase and recompile the library.

Kind Regards,

Niels Schneider

Hi Niels Schneider,

The core jQuery script is loaded in the default group. Each group has a disabled property which you can use to turn off the loading. For the default you can use the following code:

<% Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
                 .DefaultGroup(group => group.Disabled(true))
                 .Scripts( your scripts)
                 .Render(); %>

The jQueryUI script is loaded in a separate group of Scripts collection which is also named as "jQueryUI", you can also turn it off with the following:

<% Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
                 .Scripts(script => script.AddGroup("jQueryUI", group => group.Disabled(true)))
                 .Render(); %>

Cool. I only browsed to code at stylesheet level for a way to remove the link. Nice to make a disable function at group level.

What's the difference between :

<% Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
                 .DefaultGroup(group => group.Disabled(true))
                 .Scripts( your scripts)
                 .Render(); %>

And 

<% Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
                 .jQuery(false)
                 .Scripts( your scripts)
                 .Render(); %>

Hi Vincent Girard,

Each group can contain more than one script file and the default group is used to store the jQuery as well as all the Telerik component scripts. So turning it off, your application may not function properly.

On the other hand,  turning off the jQuery(false) means that the default group will not include the jQuery file implicitly. It is actually used when you are applying telerik components in an already developed application or in a situation where adding jQuery script at the bottom of the page is not an option.

So if I want to use ScriptRegistar for the compression and combination utility only for my scripts in all pages I need to disable default group? And what happen if I want to do that in my master but only on one view I need de default group since it has a Grid?

Hi Vincent Girard,

No, to Compress and Combine you only have to set the Group Combine to true and add the HttpHandler in the web.config. By default the compression is set to true.
