[Vtigercrm-developers] Vtiger Class Loader?

[Hamono, Chris (DPC)]

Hi Alan

Yes the only real answer is to bake in subclassing or functional intercepting from scratch. Something I doubt we will see anytime soon.

Although I had already resolved my problem by modifying the core code I wanted see if it could be done in a more modular fashion and Prasad's "prepend" solution seemed to hold at least part of the key. 

My issue was I needed to restrict users available in the "Assign To" field to a small subset of the users in the system (5 out of ~1500). We considered doing it using roles but it meant we would have had to create an unmanageable tangle of roles. 

Instead I have modified the core code to filter the list of users down to those which should be displayed.

Now here's a possibility....

Create a small jQuery Class for your custom module that gets loaded as a HEADERSCRIPT so it will run on all pages.

In this Javascript call, via Ajax, an action in your custom module that registers your Autoloader.

Would that work - or would it be too late?

But anyway - as the others have suggested, it seems to me that the real way to support core class overrides would to suppoort a "custom" 
directory at the top level where the entire hierarchy can be replicated (modules, includes, layouts) and get vtiger to look in there first.
