How to fix: visualize.js is incompatible with jquery simplyscroll plugin

Symptom

(v. 6.3.0):

Visualize.js incompatible with jquery simplyscroll plugin

The scroller works when visualize.js is not loaded and visualize.js works if the scroller is not on the page.

Quoting the relevant snippet of JavaScript source code:

$(document).ready(function() {

     Loader.loadCssFileOnDemand("css/simplyScroll.css");

     Loader.loadJsFileOnDemand("thirdparty/jquery/plugins/simplyscroll/jquery.simplyscroll.min.js");

    

     $('ul.tickerEasy').children().not('li').remove();

     $(function() {

      $('#Id_ticker8DAA1B3D554F79CE58F4C4B8474C0947CBAF3B5C').find('ul').simplyScroll({

       speed  : 1,

       orientation : 'vertical',

       direction : 'forwards',

       pauseOnHover: true,

       auto  : true

      });
     });
    });

Quoting the error message that is caused by the code above:

TypeError: $(...).find(...).simplyScroll is not a function

Solution:

Plesae use the optimized version of Visualize.js.

To use optimized version of visualize.js feature you should

add _opt=true

parameter.

<script src="http://bi.example.com:8080/jasperserver-pro/client/visualize.js?_opt=true"></script>
