JA Content Listing Not Compatible with J6?

krumz

I’m going to be upgrading to Joomla 6 and want to confirm:
is JA Content Listing officially supported and tested with J6? I’m seeing Joomla 4/5 listed and want to confirm official compatibility before updating.

Yes, it's working with Joomla 6.

Hi,
I just noticed on a few Joomla 6 websites where JA Content Listing is used it appears to be affecting the jQuery load order on my pages where used.
When the module is active, scripts are output in this order:
<script src="jquery-noconflict.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-migrate.min.js"></script>
This causes a console error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
When I disable JA Content Listing, the order returns to:
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-noconflict.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-migrate.min.js"></script>
Which works as expected.
It looks like the module may be loading or altering jQuery assets outside Joomla’s Web Asset Manager dependency order.
Can you confirm if JA Content Listing is manually loading jQuery or noConflict, and whether there is a recommended fix or update for Joomla 6 compatibility?
Thank you

Hello again,

I believe I traced the issue to mod_jacontentlisting/helper.php in addAssets().

This line appears to be the trigger:
HTMLHelper::_('jquery.framework');

With that line active, pages using JA Content Listing can output jQuery in the wrong order and throw:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

When I comment out only that line, the JA Content Listing modules still display normally and jQuery loads in the correct order:

Can you confirm whether this line is still needed for Joomla 6, or whether there is an updated fix for JA Content Listing?

I like this module and want to continue to use it, appreciate any feedback.

Thank you

You're right, that function is using a legacy loading method, you can temporarily use that way, we will update this module as well.
