jQueryURL

This template tag returns the URL for the installation's jQuery library set by the JQueryURL configuration directive (in config.cgi) which defaults to STATIC_WEB_PATH/jquery/jquery.js if unset.

It can be set to any relative, absolute or external FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) jQuery source URL which is useful in enhancing page load performance.

Caveat

This tag is used internally by Melody to load jQuery for its admin UI screens so use caution if setting the directive to different version than that which the application uses. If you really must use a different version of jQuery for your site's pages, you're better off hardcoding it in your templates.

Example template tag usage:

<script src="<mt:jqueryurl>"
        type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Examples of config.cgi directive use (remember: case sensitive!):

# Use a CDN for better caching and geographical distribution
JQueryURL  http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js

# Use a subdomain to parallelize loading of static helper files 
JQueryURL  http://static.mydomain.com/jquery/jquery.min.js

# Non-FQDN, absolute URLs to internal resources work fine and are
# preferred when you're publishing to multiple domains. In this case,
# the tag will return the exact, non-FQDN value shown below.
JQueryURL  /scripts/jquery/jquery.min.js

# Relative URLs to internal resources are OK and will have
# StaticWebPath prepended to it,
# e.g. http://example.com/mt/mt-static/jquery/jquery.min.js
JQueryURL  jquery/jquery.min.js
