Class override with new module.

[siuda]

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to develop new search module which needs to override search.php class. Is there any nice way to copy override search.php file to override folder during module installation process, or it has to be done manually after installation?

 

Ps.

I spot that some modules have override directory inside of themselves, but this way doesn't work.

 

 

Regards,

Luke

some people just do a file copy during the module installation. you can check to see if the Search.php class was already overriden first. you could also search the contents of the Search.php file in the override folder to ensure it has your override code, and disable the module if it does not.
