Fix: Use Fabrik default connection if different from Joomla. - Sophist-UK/joomla_fabrik GitHub Wiki

By: Sophist

Most people use the Joomla database connection as their default Fabrik connection, however this does not need to be the case.

Fabrik code needs to be careful about which connection to use:

1. for Fabrik's own tables, both default "fabrik" and when in a package; and
2. for when using default connection for user tables.

This fix may or may not address all the issues in this area - and probably it doesn't. So if you decide to use a separate database, or if you want to use packages (which are apparently broken at present) you may need to make further fixes to ensure that the correct connection is used.
