Bug report for preloader and J4

Hi Ivo
I'm experimenting with Joomla 4 and the test version of Gantry 5.
So far so good, with one exception : the pre-loader particle/atom.
When it's active, the pre-loader loads, BUT nothing else does! The page itself only loads when the preloader is removed.
Maybe you could take a look at that.
Regards
David

    No problem David.
    Yep, we will fix everything in the next couple of months.
    There's really no rush for anybody to update their production websites to Joomla 4 as of now.

    Hi Ivo

    Fine. Thanks for checking it out. Confirms what I'm discovering along the way. Not everything is perfect - yet!
    I can wait. I know you'll fix this.

    Best regards

    Hi David,

    I don't know how you tested the particle, it is supposed to be added in the Main Menu, from the Gantry Menu Editor.
    When I tried to do that, I got an error (see the attached screenshot). Gantry 5.5 is still not ready, it has quite some bugs that still need to be fixed.

    Apart from the above, yes, we will need to do some work related to the "Header Search", "Modal Search" and some other particles.
    I mean, the HTML markup of the Search module (Smart Search) in Joomla 4 is different than the one in Joomla 3, therefore the styles (CSS) we have written are not applied.

    As an aside, I don't know if it's important, but there is only the "Smart Search" Module available in J4

    Hi David,

    Sorry for the late reply and thank you for reporting this issue.

    The issue is caused by a piece of code that we use in several of our particles - Page Preloader, 3D Slider, Before/After, Fixed Header, Header Search, Headroom and Portfolio.
    The code in question is $(window).load and the problem is that it is deprecated in jQuery 3 (Joomla 3 comes with jQuery 1.x while Joomla 4 comes with jQuery 3.x).
    We will release a new version of all affected particles (see above) in the next couple of days. Once they are released I will update this discussion so you get notified (I hope I will not forget :) )
