hi there, i just noticed that when i enable the module using a fabrik form (which basically consists of 8 input fields and some validation = email, required and also no datefield and no calendar), the additional JS-files that are being loaded are adding 430 KB to the site! this is a bit too much for my taste...
i found out that in previous fabrik versions one could do the following in order to use merging and compression of JS files:
1. couldnt find those options ins fabrik 3, are there somewhere else, or is there a workaround?
2. furthermore, is the whole minified version of mootools-more really needed? (232,7 KB) is there a way to find out what more-files are really needed for ones fabrik-form, and then custom-build mootools-more?
3. are all those files really needed for my fabrik-form:
(as mentioned before, it basically consists of 8 input fields and some validation = email, required and also no datefield and no calendar)
art.js = 75,2 KB
calendar.js = 29,6 KB
form-min.js = 27,1 KB
encoder-min.js = 11,5 KB
date-min.js = 11,3 KB
element-min.js = 8,1 KB
window-min.js = 6,9 KB
head-min.js = 6,5 KB
core.js = 4,7 KB (being loaded by joomla already)
tips-min.js = 4 KB
fabrik-min.js = 4 KB
calendar-setup.js = 3 KB
icons-min.js = 2,3 KB
Form.Placeholder.js = 2.2 KB
Event.mock.js = 2,1 KB
mootools-ext-min.js = 1,3 KB
icongen-min.js = 830 B
field-min.js = 264 B
internalid-min.js = 118 B
4. is it possible that someone tells me briefly what they are doing and if i can manually load only the ones i need?
i found out that in previous fabrik versions one could do the following in order to use merging and compression of JS files:
administration -> components->fabrik->tables
click on the parameters tab
select yes for "Merged JS files" to create a single file containing all the necessary js files for you forms and tables.
select "JS Min" from the "Compress merged JS file" drop down to compress the files (the dean edwards packer option generates JS errors at the moment do dont use it)
