All other element and validation plugins can be found by following these steps:

  • Click the 'Purge Cache' icon
  • Click the 'Discover' icon
  • Find the element or validation plugin you want to install

The element or validation plugin will then appear as an option when creating an element or validation.

Building

We have a Grunt build file which will create the Fabrik package for you, and place it in a folder /fabrik_build The build relies on node-gpy, which depending on your operating system may require additional installations beyond node itself. Please follow the instructions @ https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

Once done you should be able open a command prompt (best to run as administrator in Windows) and then do
