MooTools / LinkedIn JS (jQuery?) conflict

I need to add a LinkedIn widget (so called Company Insider Plugin) on a page which relies on Mootools, but it seems to be causing a confict in JSON encoder implementation.

The error happening is Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'encode' happening in the following Mootools code when LinkedIn script is executed:

Native.implement([Hash, Array, String, Number], {
toJSON: function(){
    return JSON.encode(this);
}
});

I tried "resetting" the conflicting entity as advised but with no effect (but that's probably an advice for a different kind of conflict).

What else can I do? There is no critical Mootools code after the LinkedIn one on the page so if I could 'disable' Mootools in a way for that script to work that'd be still fine.

Solution

  • Resolved via iframing the Linked snippet I needed.

    Doesn't answer the question but solves the problem.
