What it does out-of-the box

• calls jQuery and jQuery UI libraries from the Google CDN (with or without protocol) - but you can do it locally as well,

• places jQuery libraries after MooTools calls for perfect compatibility,
• adds the noConflict() code alongside the jQuery library call,
• strips out extra jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, including the noConflict() calls added by other modules or plugins,
• lets you choose jQuery UI basic styling or custom theme.

What you can tweak

• disable MooTools libraries tentatively in the frontend,
• enable or disable the plugin in specific portions of the site, from template to single page,
• use reporting to get feedback on what the plugin engine has done,
• add or remove scripts and stylesheets,
• strip blank lines left by the modifications made to the page,
• prevent some libraries to be stripped out,
• modify the way the engine works by default (do not add or remove noConflict() code...),
• ...

Solving remaining issues

Although jQuery Easy can solve a certain number of jQuery issues (code conflicts, multiple jQuery libraries load, wrong order calls...), some problems can still occur.

These problems can come from different sources:

• some components installed are not compatible with the version of jQuery set through the plugin (but work under another specific version of jQuery),
• there are conflicts with MooTools still. Using the jQuery.noConflict(); statement is not enough by itself, some jQuery code may need to be modified. Check these examples at http://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/avoid-conflicts-other-libraries/ and at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/ for some explanations.
