InterExt is a Joomla! (1.6, 1.7, 2.5) system plugin for globally organising resources added to the head section of your pages.

Feature Summary:

Manage both MooTools Core and MooTools more, including options to:

• Select menu items to include MooTools.
• Choose to load MooTools from Google's CDN.
• Select version and compressed or uncompressed, useful for testing and debugging.
• Set custom URL for MooTools more, if, for example, you have a custom build.
• Remove Joomla!'s MooTools libraries, including JCaption and JTooltip code.

Manage jQuery, ensuring only one copy is added to any page, even if multiple extensions are adding it. Includes options to:

• Select menu items to include jQuery.
• Select server location, including Local (your server, InterExt comes with copies of jQuery to use for this option), Google, jQuery, or Microsoft hosts.
• Select which version, and either minified or uncompressed.
• Option to automatically add call to jQuery.noConflict immediately after the jQuery script tag to avoid conflicts with other libraries.

InterExt also comes with the ability to sort or apply uniqueness across any custom set of tags in the head section of your pages.

Of course, system plugins are difficult to provide demonstrations for, as they function internally without much that is visible. InterExt is currently in use on this website however, and if you view the source of these pages, you will see that mootools has been removed from all pages (except the ScrollSlider purchase page) as it isn't required, even though it is included by Joomla! by default. jQuery has also been added to every page, as the menu systems on this website require it.

InterExt is a free download, though donations to help support it's continued development would be gratefully received.
