Remove Bxslider from source (frontend)

[Guest]

Hello, I'm working from the default theme, Prestashop 1.6.

Been checking docs and forum searches but I can't find ho to manage the jquery like for example bx slider:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="/prestashop/js/jquery/plugins/bxslider/jquery.bxslider.js"></script>

 

This is what I would like to see removed. Did I miss a section in the docs how this is done? I could just remove it from the folder but then I'm not sure, maybe some of these are used in backend, too.

 

Thanks for your input.

I've been looking answer for the same issue... and I came up with the idea.

 

1. Create override file for Controller.php in override/classes/controller/

2. You have to modify addJqueryPlugin function, for example:

public function addJqueryPlugin($name, $folder = null, $css = true)
{
	if (!is_array($name))
			$name = array($name);

	if (is_array($name))
	{
		foreach ($name as $plugin)
		{
			if($plugin != 'bxslider')
			{
				$plugin_path = Media::getJqueryPluginPath($plugin, $folder);

				if (!empty($plugin_path['js']))
					$this->addJS($plugin_path['js'], false);
				if ($css && !empty($plugin_path['css']))
					$this->addCSS(key($plugin_path['css']), 'all', null, false);
			}
		}
	}
}

3. As you can see, I added after foreach: "if($plugin != 'bxslider')"  and checked if module name isn't bxslider.

Yes indeed, when you uninstall/delete  a module, you don't expect its resources to keep loading!
