Where to put additional jQuery plugins?

businessdad

Hi again, I need to install an extra jQuery plugin to use it in my Vanilla plugin, and I was wondering what's the recommended place where to put it (it requires some extra CSS, too).

Initially, I thought of putting it in subdirectory of my plugin's directory, but, on the other hand, I might need it again and I'd like not to install it multiple times.

Also, all the examples I found call the "AddJs" somewhere in the initialization, but, this way, the JS file gets loaded in every page, and not only when needed. Is there some sort of "conditional load", or can I freely implement it myself? For example, checking the path and deciding if I should load it or not.

Thanks for the help.

In the past i have used conditions and added it to default.master.php file in my theme, but perhaps there is a cleaner way. Watching this thread

in addtion to 422's suggestion on the plugin, you can also

take a look at the embedfriendly theme for an example of how js is added in a theme.

e.g. this is where to hook class.embedfriendlythemehooks.php
