Overview

You may have custom modules that require a different version of jQuery than the one provided with DNN. Hence, you may need to use an alternative version of jQuery.

Prerequisites

• Access to a SuperUser account.

Solution

1. From the Persona Bar, navigate to Settings > Extensions > Installed Extensions > JavaScript Libraries.

   
   
   
   

2. Click on the pencil icon next to the jQuery JavaScript Library to edit it.

3. Click Extension Settings.

4. Enter the URL to the desired jQuery version in the Custom CDN field.
   For example, the URL for version 3.4.1 would be //cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js.

   
   
   Note: You can find links to other versions of jQuery on the CDNJS portal.
   
   
   
   

5. Click Save & Close.

6. Navigate to Persona Bar > Settings > SQL Console.

7. Run the following query:

   SELECT * FROM HostSettings WHERE SettingName = 'CDNEnabled'

   • If the query did not return any data, run the following query:

     INSERT INTO HostSettings ( SettingName, SettingValue, SettingIsSecure, CreatedByUserID, CreatedOnDate, LastModifiedByUserID, LastModifiedOnDate ) VALUES ( 'CDNEnabled', 'Y', 0, -1, GETDATE(), -1, GETDATE() )

   • If the query returned a row, run the following query:

     UPDATE HostSettings SET SettingValue = 'Y' WHERE SettingName = 'CDNEnabled'

      

     
     
     

8. Navigate to Persona Bar > Settings > Servers and clear the cache.

   
   
   
   

9. Open Developer Tools (F12) in your browser and select the Network tab.

10. Filter by jQuery.

11. Press Ctrl+F5 to refresh the page.

    You should see your version of jQuery (in this example, version 3.4.1) loading from the Cloudflare CDN.
