Call to parent issue - I think 16 Dec 2016 03:24 #14849

vlemos Topic Author Offline Elite Member Posts: 295 Thank you received: 41	Hello Admin / Cooks I have a forked "replaced" controller class. However, I believe that the line: $this->_result = $result = parent::cancel(); is defeating my routine by referencing "parent". Has anyone had a similar experience in a controller? In a rush towards a deadline and don't have the time to research it fully. Feedback appreciated Thanks alot vlemos

Hello liubov / cooks

The simplest solution I implemented was to call the class directly. However, I added a class alias to the constructor for "_parent" and then replace parent::cancel() with _parent::cancel(). Note: you must first determine the class being called by the child.

Hope this helps some other cook working with the fork controller classes.

Warm regards

	public function __construct($config = array())
	{
		parent::__construct($config);
		$app = JFactory::getApplication();

		class_alias('TestCkClassControllerItem', '_parent');

	}

	//Usage 
	$this->_result = $result = _parent::cancel();

Hello Admin

The fork framework needs revisiting as it relates to the reference "parent". Once "parent::" is called within a forked class, execution passes to the main class and never returns. Therefore forking some routines is useless. For a forked field (cktext.php), when "return parent::getInput();" is called, the input property is overwritten by the main routine.

	/**
	* Method to get the field input markup.
	*
	* @access	public
	*
	*
	* @since	11.1
	*
	* @return	string	The field input markup.
	*/
	public function getInput()
	{

		$this->input = JDom::_('html.form.input.text', array_merge(array(
				'dataKey' => $this->getOption('name'),
				'domClass' => $this->getOption('class'),
				'domId' => $this->id,
				'domName' => $this->name,
				'dataValue' => $this->value,
		'testValue' => $this->test,
				'placeholder' => $this->getOption('placeholder'),
				'prefix' => $this->getOption('prefix'),
				'responsive' => $this->getOption('responsive'),
				'size' => $this->getOption('size'),
				'suffix' => $this->getOption('suffix')
			), $this->jdomOptions));

		return parent::getInput();
	}

Please look into this and let me know if it can be easily fixed across components.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
