Avoid Core Modifications
Never change Joomla's core JavaScript or PHP files. Extend or override them instead, so updates keep working and other extensions do not break.
Don't modify core JavaScript objects including jQuery, mooTools and everything in the Joomla JavaScript object. If you want to modify a core object, subclass. This helps maintain compatibility with future Joomla updates and other extensions.
