Installing jquery_ui and 1.7
there are tons of threads on this. And for awhile I was not one of the people having issues. I setup a handfull of sites with the following and not one issue. But then a site running drupal 6.17 would not let me get the jquery_ui up to 1.7 which I needed for http://drupal.org/project/noderelationships
Many things just did not work and the console would output errors like $.widget not defined etc.
Again same layout and jquery 1.6 it was fine just that was not good enough for some of these extra features.
So hours later (even the modalframe examples where not working) the following is working.
The jquery_ui I used
I upload a working version of jquery_ui with 1.7 installed here http://www.rvtc.us/jquery_ui.tar.gz1.7WORKING
I do not think the install was that hard but just incase this might help just not even consider it.
This is the full jquery_ui module so just move modules/jquery_ui out of the way and untar this one in the modules/ folder
Some of the modules and versions
jQuery UI 6.x-1.3
jQuery Update 6.x-1.1
Modal Frame API 6.x-1.7
Drupal 6.17
Status Report Page
jQuery UI 1.7.1
jQuery Update 1.2.6
Settings
The compress type
jQuery compression type:
ACTIVE Packed
Minified
None
This combination go this site to go from almost nothing working to working. I have one more thing to test on the live site and then I will know if it is perfect or not.
alright now I can get some paid work done.
**update 7-19***

So I come back to the site, nothing changed and this does not fully work. I had this happen earlier I click the Add New of Search and I get the ajaxy spinning wheel below the page but that is it.
I then clear the cache and set Jquery Update to Packed and Performance to Disabled on the optimized javascript and it works. BUT next time I will have to switch these back.
So can not say I have this down yet.

Not counting my Commodore 64 years, I began my IT career when Windows 95 hit the scene and Google was just a glimmer on the Californian horizon. I discovered Drupal four years ago when it was giving Joomla a run for its money.
At the time, I was working as the IT manager at the National Priorities Project (NPP). We were using Joolma and getting about 200,000 visitors a month and the site was not scaling well. I saw the limits of Joomla and the promise of Drupal 4 with its taxonomy system, clean urls, and security features. I converted NPP to Drupal and migrated their main database, http://nationalpriorities.org/nppdatabase_tool, from webobjects to a Drupal-friendly structure in MySQL. Still not satisfied, I moved NPP’s constituent data (including their 25,000 member email list) out of the expensive Raiser's Edge and into the free and open source CiviCRM 1.8, saving the company money that it was spending on their desktop software.
Thus began my commitment to supporting non-profits by creating affordable, custom-built content management systems in Drupal and CiviCRM. I founded River Valley Tech Collective as a collaborative team of other like-minded techies to provide Drupal-driven sites to a wider range of non-profits, educational institutions and local community organizations.
