Prestashop 1.5.6 not recognizing extended core functionality.

[David Bucur]

Hi all,

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but I am trying override the function resize in classes/ImageManager.php

 

Therefore in override/classes I created the file ImageManager.php which has the following code.

<?php
class ImageManager extends ImageManagerCore
{
	public static function resize($src_file, $dst_file, $dst_width = null, $dst_height = null, $file_type = 'jpg', $force_type = false)
	{
		//resizing code
	  
    }

}

However the modification is not happening.

 

Is something else I have to do?

when manually placing an override, and for ps to see it right  away..

 

delete the following file:

 

cache/class_index,php (you can also rename it if you prefer)

 

this is not however necessary when module is installed normally from back office.

Thanks El Patron,

deleting the class_index.php fixed the problem.

 

This wasn't a module, this was a prestashop core modification.

 

 

Is the cache/class_index.php an index of all modifications? So if you delete it Prestashop regenerates it and finds the new extensions?

 

I am asking because after deleting it and reloading the page it created again with the working extended version.

[El Patron]

yes, deleting will create new

 

r.e. module, when we include overrides in ourmodule/overrides, the ps will automatically install the override for us.  this is more for your info later on if you decide to create hack with module...
