From Phorum 5.2.16 on, we will bundle a version of jQuery with the Phorum distribution. This mod suppresses the loading of the bundled jQuery library, which can be useful in case a jQuery library is already loaded in another way for your site.

Note that there is no risk that the Phorum jQuery library will conflict with your own jQuery version. Phorum does make use of the noConflict feature of jQuery, to not let the library conflict with other libraries that are loaded for the site. The main reason for disabling the bundled library would therefore be to spare some resources.

Changelog:
----------

2010-10-15 v1.0.0

What needs to be considered if I replaced the current Phorum jQuery library V1.4.2 with V1.4.4?

Well, find out by checking what the changes are between 1.4.2 and 1.4.4 and see if there's anything in there that would break backward compatibility. My experience is that the jQuery versions are good at backward compatibility, so I don't expect any issues with that.

Thanks, I was wondering where Phorum includes the jQuery library in order to change the version number. I did a search but couldn't find it.

Then you must be really bad at searching. I won't tell you where Phorum loads the library from, since there is no reason at all to start hacking the Phorum code to change the jQuery version number. If you want to find out where and how Phorum loads the javascript code, I leave that up as an exercise to you.

You are posting in a thread that will disable the bundled jQuery. Therefore, I presumed that you wanted to load your own jQuery library. That's nothing more than adding the correct <script> code to your header.tpl.
