images.php and fork 07 Oct 2013 07:54 #11308

Hi all,

I noticed one of the classes for which there is no fork yet is the images.php class. I tried to do it myself by adding the following lines in the images.php file:
JLoader::register('WpfImagesFork', JPATH_ADMIN_WPF .DS. 'fork' .DS. 'classes' .DS. 'images.php');
JLoader::load('WpfImagesFork');
// Fallback if no fork has been found
if (!class_exists('WpfImagesFork')){ class WpfImagesFork extends WpfImages{} }

This does load the forked class, but however when (in my case), I want to override the get() function, it does not seem to work. It will still call the get of the parent images.php class. I think in my case I can workaround this by calling my forked class in the forked class of the file.php, but just wondering why the first approach does not work.

FYI - what I am trying to accomplish is to override the define constant for 'allowed image sizes'. I want to merge this with a number of extra sizes which will be passed in from my component configuration parameters.

Any one any ideas?

For the moment not forkable.
Images.php will be rewrited and will work with JImages natives from (Joomla 3.0 native)
Coding is now a piece of cake

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
