• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Hi!
Feel free to download Fabrik element field plugin with "remove special chars" option before store to DB (integer & decimal).
Useful for any quantity and currencies fields which many users fill by copy-past action.
Supports Fabrik versions 3.9.2, 3.10.

Fabrik is open source and surely you are allowed to create own plugins.

But I think it is really no good idea to create plugins with the same name as existing Fabrik ones.
Additionally your xml doesn't mention that it is a modified copy, not provided by Fabrik.

Installing your field-plugin will override the Fabrik one, so changing every existing field element, mixing up Fabrik versions, mixing up updates etc etc

So PLEASE create own plugins with own, unique names, mentioning the original, mentioning you as an author, setting up correct xml file ...
 
@troester ,
Ok, I've got you.
But I only did some improvements into the original plugin. That's why I think no needs to rename it.

a) yeah, please don't publish modified plugins with the same name.

b) why not just add a PHP validation in 'replace' mode that does this to fields that need it? Achieves exactly the same thing, doesn't require modifying core code.

c) if you want to post a diff of your changes here, I'll consider folding it in to the main code.

Because I support the DB created on Fabrik with more than 500 different lists and ~30000 elements. So, it is better to me just toggle some options in the element settings. It saves my time and let me focus on other things.
F.e. I've created and improve Fabrik list plugin based on DataTables (+Ajax on lists with more than thousands records).

Ok, I'll post it and one for textarea element with readonly option.
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
