The other way is the one that actually gets used in the helper class. I have one called `getFilePath`. The `getFilePath` is also a function I am using across my components. It is being included in JCB. Many of my components are using `getFilePath` and it is a little function I can pass a few parameters to and can consistently give me back a path of where I want to place or have files from. Now in the PHP helper there is a function and in the component itself, there is a function called [00:06:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yl4lAAAWMQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m20s)'Add PHP(Helper classes - Both admin & site)'. Anything that you put in will not be only added to the Admin Helper Class, but also to the Site Helper Class, a way to avoid doing it twice. There is one to put it in the Admin. You could click 'Yes' and target the Admin Helper or you could target the Site Class Helper. In this case I want most of this code to be everywhere.

It is forming part of a whole bunch of code that I am adding to the Helper Class of this component. I am also using other components. I do not need to redo this code anytime soon. I do not need to come and open the [00:07:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yl4lAAAWMQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m20s) component when I want to change the code. I can change the code right there in the place that is in the custom area. If we close out and go back to the Custom Code, you can see that the function is being used in Component Builder and in the `php_helper_both`. It is where it is added. [00:07:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yl4lAAAWMQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m45s) If you would need to improve the code, you can always at the bottom see in which areas it is being used. So that is the option for multiple reuse of custom scripting. You could put it anywhere you like in JCB, either in the Component Helper Class or in the component view, php areas. By doing so it gets reused. It gets placed into that code on compilation. That is the answer I suppose, to the power of the Custom Code area.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I realize it could be confusing because we are mixing it with the IDE custom code which are [00:08:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yl4lAAAWMQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h08m28s) this Hash (automation). It's where you edit your code in the IDE like I did here. The JCB is keeping track of it and it's saying this is for the admin views template default body php file. On this starting Hash value, we are doing an insert of this code and you cannot maintain the code here. But it's only for one file, one location, one place. [00:08:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yl4lAAAWMQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h08m57s) Then there's the JCB manual and the JCB manual is the implementation or the mutated implementation of using custom code snippets, this snippet, all across in custom code areas. I'm using the same word custom code for different implementation. That might have been a mistake because you could miss its possible differences. [00:09:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yl4lAAAWMQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m25s) But there is most certainly a difference, this doesn't target a file but an area somewhere in that JCB compilation. I hope that helps. Let me know.
