There's a new feature called Dynamic. That is part of what we will need to look at. Dynamic means that it is added in based on the views that are linked to the Component. [00:01:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m50s) The old way you had to come to the component and sort of tell it here, I want UiKit and I want FooTable added and you could tell him what version you would like, or if you want it with the UiKit you could set that it adds both versions. Now with improvements, you'd set this to Dynamic which turns off the global adding of the Uikit Component and then falls back unto the new implementation which I will demonstrate within a moment. Let's leave it on this the way it was [00:02:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m29s) That was the first way of actually implementing some library.
There is a new feature called, 'Dynamic'. That is part of what we will need to look at. Dynamic means that it is added in, on the bases of the views that are linked to the Component. [00:01:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m50s) The old way of doing it had been to indicate in the component if UiKit and FooTable should be added and as well as the version you would prefer, or if you want it with the UiKit you could set that it adds both versions. Now with the improvements, this can be set to Dynamic which turns off the global adding of the Uikit Component and then falls back unto the new implementation. Leave it on the way it was. That was the first way of actually implementing some library.
### Second Way - Scale It

The second way which was the way that you could scale it. If you go to Settings, there is 'Component files folders' that you could add, you could click 'Edit component files folders for this joomla component' and say I want to add a library that isn't already part of JCB. Let's say you wanted to add Bootstrap. You would say there is a folder in your component on the administrator components, [00:03:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m05s) component builder, custom folder, and inside that folder, you would place the folder for Bootstrap. I don't have it here. Let me quickly do that. I'm going to refresh this page. I quickly went and added a folder to this custom folder called Bootstrap. Let me refresh this. I'm going to click add and then there we have it, select Bootstrap. [00:03:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m36s) I want Bootstrap to be added to the media folder. Since we do not do any changing of the folder name, we will just leave that as it is. So I move this folder into the media folder. That's the way you would have done that in the past. Save and close. Having added the files to the component, you will then have to go to the View. [00:04:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m03s) If we go to Site View, and this Looks View, you will have to in the Looks View set that it uses, this is the new implementations I'm going to undo that, and just say in the Add PHP (custom document script) area, you would add this snippet in here, so you add a script. Now that you add the Bootstrap v4 folder to media. [00:04:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m36s) But when it gets installed to Joomla, it creates a component folder and put the files in there. If you do not know how that will work out, add the folder, install it onto Joomla website and go look in the media folder to get the correct path. And save and close. That's how you would in the past have extended JCB to use other libraries then what's built into JCB. I illustrated that simply so you'll know that we could have done this before, but it was a little bit more complicated [00:05:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m13s) as the way it's going to work now.
The second way which was the way that you could scale it. Go to Settings, there is 'Component files folders' that could be added, and click 'Edit component files folders for this joomla component' and indicate that you want to add a library that is not already part of JCB. Say for instance you want to add Bootstrap. You would say there is a folder in your component on the administrator components, component builder, custom folder, and inside that folder, you would place the folder for Bootstrap. [00:03:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m05s) If it is not there then just refresh this page. I added a folder to this custom folder called 'Bootstrap'. Refresh this and click 'add', then there we have it.

Since no change of the folder name is made, we will just leave that as it is and this folder is moved into the media folder. That is how it had been done in the past. Save and close. Having added the files to the component, go to the View. [00:04:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjvgLYOt1o&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m03s)<<<<<<<<
