Django admin - jQuery namespace

Question

I\'m trying to use certain jQuery plugins in my Django admin site.

Django admin sets the jQuery namespace to django.jQuery (to avoid conflicts)

Answer 1

Actually, most plugins will require "jQuery" - not $ - to be available, and then provide $ themselves as in dmidz's answer.

Therefore, insert

var jQuery = django.jQuery;

before your external references. If you're loading a bunch of thirdparty jQuery plugins, put the above line in a script tag that preceeds the plugins.
