Cool but invasive javascript

Torn. The plugin itself it cool. Worked well. What we hadn’t counted on was how invsaive it was to rewrite so much custom javascript we had. First, I hadn’t noticed the toggle for the map feature. That botched up a custom map display we had. Toggle resolved it. Easy peasy – support was great helping us quickly troubleshoot that.

BUT we have a custom application process with dozens of fields related to licenses, etc. TOTALLY unrelated to the plugin. It stripped out all of their data in about 10 fields – gone. We had to track down the conflicting javascript, rewrite ours and manually re-enter the missing data in the php my admin.

Yes, I know, should have used a testing sandbox with a duplicate of the site. The map piece was one thing. We would have never thought it would affect something completely unrelated to the plugin. It’s a cautionary tale. You may not think it will affect your site – especially if you have customizations, but think again.
