Community Builder JQuery

We're battling to to make jQuery scripts we've written work in new CB plugins we're developing. Is there something we're missing? Some kind of documentation that could help us?

All your jQuery should still work. We load the jQuery migrate script so legacy usages should still function. Aside from that you can review the jQuery documentation below to see if any of the functions you're using have changed.

You can also find the jQuery upgrade guide below.

I've looked through ProfileBook.php to get an idea of how to load a jquery script in a plugin. I found these two Function below:

function _getpbJS( )
{
global $_CB_framework;

$this->_getpbCSS();
$_CB_framework->addJQueryPlugin( 'cbprofilebook', '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbprofilebook/bb_adm.js', array( -1 => array( 'autosize' ) ) );
$_CB_framework->outputCbJQuery( '', 'cbprofilebook' );
}

function _getpbCSS( )
{
cbpbCssOutput();
}

Is there any documentation explaining what these functions are doing. Or perhaps you can explain it.
Thank you

The addJQueryPlugin lets CB API know the jQuery plugin exists and where. This also lets you setup dependencies for the jQuery plugin (e.g. CSS files, other jQuery plugins, other JS files, etc..).

The outputCbJQuery function will output the specified jQuery, but will first load the jQuery plugins specified in the second variable (use array for multiple plugins).

Specifically that usage is telling CB that bb_adm.js is a jQuery plugin called cbprofilebook and that the core autosize jQuery plugin needs to load before it. outputCbJQuery following it then tells CB to actually output the plugin.

We'll have API documentation sometime in the future, but right now your best option is to review existing plugins. We also have a basic API documentation available for download in the Free downloads section.

Thank you for that explanation I got the script loading properly, the problem was I wasn't loading the jquery hide plugin before hand. Now does CB 2.0.4 also load Jquery UI and if not how would I go about loading the entire UI library?

CB doesn't automatically load jQuery UI on load of jQuery. You need to specify that in the plugins loading of outputCbJQuery by using 'ui-all', which will load in all of jQuer UI. Example as follows.
