[Vtigercrm-developers] Vtiger Class Loader?

[Hamono, Chris (DPC)]

I was thinking about this request because I'd like to be able to override built in (core) classes to extend their functionality.

I know this is not your specific use case but I thought I'd make the point vtiger extensively uses "new self()" within static functions

This means even if you replaced the current loader with a new loader that created a custom class most of the time the parent class will be created and your code never called.

More is the pity. I saw this as a possible way to shortcut the creation of custom classes where you want to slightly manipulate functionality rather than recreate it.

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] Vtiger Class Loader?

I might have a need to have an Autoloader within a custom module so my code can find a bunch of class files in an included library of php code.

So for example my tree would like like

/modules/LSCustomModule/{models,actions,resources,libraries} etc.

In the model I would need to use code that is in an associated library (built to use any PSR-0 compliant autoloader) under my "libraries" 
directory.

I don't think the in-built Vtiger_Loader is going to suffice is it because the paths will be all wrong...?

Would I need to I register my own Autoloader as part of the initialisation of my model? Could I override the Vtiger_Loader?

Suggestions welcome ;-)

Thanks

Al
