Custom script location

[giorgiofox]

Hi,

I'm totally new to Joomla and Fabrik, and I would like to know where should I put my custom php script (that makes some queries to Fabrik db data) and return a JSON response.

I followed the user_ajax.php example. Should I leave my custom script in components/com_fabrik folder?

Thanks.

Y??, they will not be deleted or changed when updating fabrik.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Glad to know that they will be not deleted when updating. Is it the best practice?

Sorry for the lazy question, I would like to learn more but on project deadline with no time to explore.

I have many many custom scripts on my system. I created a custom_scripts folder and place them all in there. They are not all Fabrik scripts. I like them all being in the same place so I know where to find them. I also include them from within fabrik forms and elements rather than inserting the code directly. Again so I always know ehere they are.

Just my $.02 CDN.

@achartier, this is what I prefer too instead of "hidden" in a plugin folder.

However, I have issues include the FabrikWorker class outside the com_fabrik folder. What is the correct way to include the plugin classes in Joomla?

Haven't tried that, sorry.
