Hi,
just in case this might help anyone. I'm building a site that uses the Mootools framework (in the frontend). It all works well, but when I allow comments on a page Silverstripe adds javascript validation with the Prototype JS framework. This creates a conflict with Mootools. You may run into similar problems with other frameworks such as jQuery.
To get rid of Prototype you need to disable both AJAX commenting (in _config.php):
PageCommentInterface::set_use_ajax_commenting(false);
and remove the form validation (in e.g. Page.php):
class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
public function init() {
parent::init();
Validator::set_javascript_validation_handler('none');
}
Cheers!
