BackboneJS + RequireJS How to add external JS-Plugins

Question

I want to implement this external JS-plugin, https://github.com/GBKS/Wookmark-jQuery, into my Backbone App. My issue is that I use RequireJS and I really dont know how to get it running. I already asked this before BackboneJS + Require JS + Wookmark.js plugin not working but adding it to my App.js doesnt work at all. So does anyone know what might be the issue here?

The wookmark + imagesloaded plugins both appear in my console, so they get loaded. I tried to run it from a View with no success.

Please help...

Since wookmark depends on jquery, I would recommend adding it to requirejs shim:

require.config({
  paths: {
    jquery: 'path/to/jquery'
    wookmark: 'path/to/wookmark'
  },

  shim: {
    wookmark: { deps: [ 'jquery' ] }
  }
});

Hope it will solve your problem.

Do you get any error. Can you see if the $.fn is extended with wookmark?

@chchrist Didn't really get your question but no, I don't get any errors

This plugin registers itself to the $.fn of jquery in order for you to use it like this "$().wookmark" github.com/GBKS/Wookmark-jQuery/blob/master/jquery.wookmark.js (line 485). So console.log($.fn) and check if it exists.

console.log($.fn) tells me that $.fn exists but the plugin is simply not running. I have other plugins defined in my app.js, they run without problems, just this one doesn't work... :s

try console.log($.fn.wookmark) to check if one exist now
