[xwiki-users] jQuery plugin - Conflict with prototype.js

Hello XWiki team & users, First of all thanks a lot for your great work. I’ve set up XWiki as an intranet website (version 5.2.1). Currenty I’m trying to customize it with some javascript to make life easier for the users. I experimented a bit with jQuery (as I have a bit of experience with it) and have successfully integrated it into a test page via the jQuery Helpers Extension (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/jQuery+Helpers) Now I want to include a jQuery Plugin which extends the jQuery functions. I’d like to try out the live tiles in Windows 8 style from Drew Greenwell (http://www.drewgreenwell.com/projects/metrojs). It’s no big deal to get the liveTiles working - On a local webserver without Xwiki. Here’s the problem: The functions from metrojs seem to collide with prototype.js. I experimented a bit with jQuerynoConflict(); , I tried to rename the functions inside metroJS.js, but nothing worked so far. Firebug says ‘$ele.attr is not a function’ inside the metrojs-Code in the console, which I believe is a problem with prototype.js. (See for the XWiki test page code at the end of the mail – I won’t post the whole MetroJS-Code here, it’s a little big). My questions are: a) Is there a possibility to deactivate / rename / “defuse” prototype.js, or to listen for another shortcut than $ on this page (something like prototypeNoConflict();) ? b) Has anyone of you any experience with jQuery plugins (or even better, Metrojs!) in XWiki and maybe a hint? c) Is there a possibility of producing some kind of “liveTiles” with prototype.js (which I’m not very experienced with) I know it’s more of a javascript-related question, so thanks a lot for reading this anyway.
