is scripts down regex not working right???

unless i am confused it doesn't make sense. it says if set to YES only the items below will be moved. my 2 items below won't move unless i set it to NO. yes/no doesn't seem to make a difference other than being an on/off button it doesn't matter if i change the url's...

and what exactly is the proper way to enter a url via regex pattern? googled it but no clear answer.

i have a review extension that is on one page that is not working with scripts down enabled.

these are the files from the source:

Any particular reason you're loading jquery twice? Nevermind - I don't want to know....

Regex is pretty well documented everywhere.

My extension looks at ONLY the src attribute when matching a regex pattern. If the pattern matches any part of the src attribute - it's a match and subject to being moved (or not moved)

The simplest way to define an item is by just putting in the path and escaping the necessary characters, which are usually only "/" and "." (forward slash and dot)

So, using your first jquery.min.js line as an example - to prevent (or force) it to be moved:

\/component\/com_jlexreview\/assets\/jquery\.min\.js

Every forward slash is escaped, and every period is escaped.

It's not necessary to match the whole line though.

You could match both jquery.min.js scripts with:

jquery\.min\.js

To escape everything loaded by and from your component:

com_jlexreview

that would match the first 3 scripts because they all contain com_jlexreview

Regex is super powerful. Spend some time on this site if you want to learn more:

Also - ScriptsDown isn't for everyone. Some sites and extensions are not written in a way that lends itself to having scripts at the bottom of the page.

It takes a lot of care and feeding to really benefit from ScriptsDown. I rarely use it on my own sites, because it takes so much maintenance if you're using 3rd party extensions.

Thanks! I have no idea why it is loaded twice. I have gone back and forth between trying to change that component and this one to make it work. Yours is a lot simpler.

Well...it's being loaded twice because com_jlexreview doesn't load the Joomla version of jQuery, it loads its own. It's a bad omen when an extension loads a separate version of a library provided by the core.

O.k. thanks. The more I worked on that extension the more I began to think some things weren't right with it. Lots of css and js files. I ran into problems and then tried to reinstall it with the original package, but that didn't work. Developer who stopped replying to my inquires after a year ran out wouldn't help and says I need to buy a new license.

Again that was for what I already paid for not a new package. That was Jlex review. I don't recommend it. Do you have any experience with other review extensions?
