As already mentioned in other threads, LibraryAdmin is the successor of jQueryAdmin. It allows not only to
manage jQuery Plugins (UI, Effects, Themes) using a WB Admin Tool like JQA, but nearly any type of JavaScript Library/Framework. Also, you may add any other kind of content to your header (META-Tags, for example), and/or manage your CSS. This can be done on a per-page-basis (using the [[LibLoader]] Droplet in your Footer), globally (using the [[LibInclude]] Droplet in your footer, combined with a default preset file), and/or manually by including a specific droplet call into a WYSIWYG-Section.
Without installing other libs, LA provides some basic JS Plugins - simple dialog, toggle visibility, lytebox -, and comes with the CSS Dropdown Framework for easy menu creation. But you can install additional libs, too. Combined with
lib_jquery, you will get the functionality jQueryAdmin has, but with the benefit of having the additional options LA provides by itself.
Of course, all jQuery plugins that are available for jQueryAdmin work with LA (combined with lib_jquery), too. In fact, the
jQuery Showroom already runs with LA since v0.3x or so. Anyway, you may encounter problems with some jQuery plugins, getting messages like "$ is not defined". In this case, the plugin is not working correctly with the jQuery noConflict() mode, which is used by LA to avoid problems using jQuery and mootools in parallel. It can be fixed easily in most cases, so please just report this problem here (or in the LA support forum, follow the link in the jQuery Showroom), and I will see if I can fix it. All plugins that are available in the Showroom are already fixed, so if you use an older version, try to download the latest version there.
Please check out this new module and let me hear your thoughts. Please note that this version is "feature complete", so new features will not be included until version 1.0 is released as stable. Anyway, feel free to make your suggestions, I will save them for version 2.x. (If I like them.
