New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Contents
Fabrik can be greatly extended with the use of JavaScript to code complex interactions.
You can add custom js files to your list, form and details views
Javascript location
Custom javascript files should be located in:
/components/com_fabrik/js
Lists
For Lists you should name your file list_X.js where X is the list's id.
Note: For backwards compatibility, if you are still using the depreciated table_X.js files then these are loaded in preference to list_X.js files.
Forms
Fabrik 2.x and 3.0:
For Forms and details views your file should be form_X.js where X is the form's id.
Fabrik 3.1 onwards:
In Fabrik 3.1, Details views have their own templates so for details views your file should de details_X.js where X is the details view's form id.
For form views your file should be still be form_X.js where X is the form's id.
Note: For backwards compatibility, if you are using simply X.js files then these are loaded in preference to form_x.js / details_x.js files
In Fabrik 3.1 we create separate JavaScript objects for each form found on the page, this means that you can potentially have 2 Forms which display different records on the same page, for example:
Fabrik.blocks['form_8'] - a 'create new entry' form
Fabrik.blocks['form_8_1'] - controls the form which is editing record id=1
Its probable that you want to use the same JavaScript for both of these form objects. To achieve this you should use the following script located in components/com_fabrik/js/form_8.js:
JavaScript:
/**
* Ensure that Fabrik's loaded
*/
requirejs(['fab/fabrik'], function (Fabrik) {
// The block you want to use
var blockRef = 'form_8';
// Should we use an exact match for the blockRef?
var exact = false;
var form = Fabrik.getBlock(blockRef, exact, function (block) {
// This callback function is run once the block has been loaded.
// The variable 'block' refers to Fabirk.blocks object that controls the form.
var v = block.Elements.get('tablename___elementname').get('value');
// If your element is in a repeat group its name is prefixed with _0, _1, _2 etc - to get all element values in an array....
var values = [];
Object.each(block.Elements, function (element, key) {
if (key.contains('tablename___elementname')) {
values.push(element.get('value'));
}
});
});
});
If you wanted to target only Fabrik.blocks['form_8'] you would use:
JavaScript:
/**
* Ensure that Fabrik's loaded
*/
requirejs(['fab/fabrik'], function (Fabrik) {
// The block you want to use
var blockRef = 'form_8';
// Should we use an exact match for the blockRef?
var exact = true;
var form = Fabrik.getBlock(blockRef, exact, function (block) {
// This callback function is run once the block has been loaded.
// The variable 'block' refers to Fabirk.blocks object that controls the form.
var v = block.Elements.get('tablename___elementname').get('value');
});
});
