adding form fields on the fly
Manipulation a JForm is easy the best place to add fields is to use the preprocessForm function
protected function preprocessForm(JForm $form, $data, $group = 'content')
{
// Add some needed hidden fields
$fields = array('id','cid');
foreach ($fields AS $field)
{
$element = new SimpleXMLElement('<field></field>');

removing scripts from the head
// that is bad hack, I am accessing a by convention as private maked class variable.
// But you can not set the head to an empty array so that is the only way to allow to remove all scripts
// I am adding one script, this should have all the scripts merged into one file
// KEEP IN MIND THAT'S WORKING NOW (VERSION 3.3.6) BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK ALWAYS
$tpath = $this->baseurl.'/templates/'.$this->template;
$scripts = $doc->_scripts;
