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

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
