Cleanup your Fabrik site

[achartier]

If you have been updating from github in the past, your Joomla root directory will be cluttered with a number of things you don't need or want. The following is a list of directories and files that you should remove as they are not required.

.tx/
fabrik_build/
.gitignore
.gitmodules
.jshintrc
Gruntfile.js
README.md
contribution_license.txt
package.json
software_license.txt
transfix-config-generator.php

After installing Fabrik 4.0 cleanup the update cache.
"Rebuild" the update sites.
"Refresh cache" on all Fabrik entries in Manage / Extensions

Additionally, if you update from github you can remove the following 2 files:

bitbucket-pipelines.yml
README.md

With the update to Fabrik 4.2, and not needing the libraries package, are there other files and folders that can be removed? Are there left-overs from Fabrik 4.1 that are part of the libraries package?

 

[achartier]

If you do not need the libraries package, then you can delete the folders libraries/fabrik/vendor and libraries/fabrik/libs

After upgrading to 4.2, I still see some old Fabrik extensions listed with v4.0 or 4.1:

Fabrik Cron - ImportCSV
Fabrik Cron - Notifications
Fabrik Element - Notes
Fabrik Libs Library
Fabrik List - Download
Fabrik Vendor Library

Can we safely delete them?

The plugins are no part of 4.2, if you don't use them you can uninstall.

Similar the libs:

If you do not need the libraries package, then you can delete the folders libraries/fabrik/vendor and libraries/fabrik/libs

Since 4.2 Fabrik Base and libs are splitted (see Announcements).
If you need the libs (for fileupload, PDF, AWS etc) download and install 4.2.
