Where are the "Files List" in CF8?

Fredolino 27 Mar, 2025

Hello,

Where are the "Files List" in CF8? In CF7, they were easily and quickly found under "Advanced Settings" of the respective JS file.

Best regards,

F.

Hi Fredolino

you mean the JS files list ? you need to load JS files on the form page ?

Yes, 

in the JavaScript file CF 7 under "Advanced Settings" there was a setting called "Files List" where external links to JavaScripts could be inserted

(e.g. https://cdn.datatables.net/1.13.7/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js).

Another problem has arisen:

When I insert an external JavaScript file into HTML, the HTML file disappears (is it deleted?) after saving.

Is this option for external JavaScripts planned for CF7 in CF8?

I want to include these external JavaScripts only on the pages where they're needed, and not directly in the template, where the JavaScripts are on all pages and have to be loaded unnecessarily.

 Or where should the JS files be used in CF 8?

I have added this to the next v8 update:

if you insert js files in the HTML code then make sure the editor is disabled, or what does you mean by "disappear" ?

If you offer this option in the next update, that would be perfect. Thank you. :-)

Yes, I tried inserting external JavaScript files into HTML. But after saving, the HTML view disappeared.

so without the files in the HTML the view does not disappear ?

Yes, files list for JavaScript should be available in the next update
