Combine best of two plugins? Beginner question.
I am a total jQuery n00b. I'm following beginners tutorials to slowly teach myself, but meanwhile I have a rather urgent need to combine the best of two plugins and I have no idea how...
I'm using NotesForLightBox and have that implemented. It's working great, but I'd like to add a little something that can be found within another plugin, jQuery Lightbox Plugin (balupton edition). Specifically I want to use the ability of adding a photo description in addition to the title of the photo of the latter, in the former plugin.
Is there an easy way of doing this? At the moment I've linked both .js files and use calls for both. This is obviously not the way to do it, as they clearly seem to be conflicting (while it does sort of roughly accomplish what I'm wanting).
Long story short:
- Can I grab a piece of one plugin and make it work in another (if so, how do I determine what I need), ór
- Is there a way to have both .js files work alongside (by 'killing' the parts not needed, somehow?)
Like I said; I'm very new to all of this, so forgive me if this question is ridiculous to some of you...
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer!
