Extending \Fuel in 1.1 > Problem
  • RanieRanie
    Hi guys! I just started a new project on 1.1. Already started it on 1.0 but seeing that It just started and it's going to take some time I wanted the new stuff :) The problem I'm having is that I need to modify the "find_file" method in the Fuel controller... I could extend it in 1.0 but seems that I can't in 1.1... Any ideas how I can go around this? Or better idea to accomplish the following I have to modify the "find_file" method because It's the only way I've found to add DOCROOT and DOCROOT/modules directory to the paths array. I'm writing a system that overrides from docroot/modules > docroot > app/modules etc... I was hoping I could do this without touching the core code... Regards

    Did you check out: Fuel::add_path() (docs, code) I've found the problem with Fuel class not being extendable, will be solved soon.
  • RanieRanie
    Thanks for the reply! I'm using modules so I have module_paths > APPPATH.'modules'.DS in the config. Then that gets added "first" in the paths array. But I need MY paths to come first... Any ideas? If I use add_path it gets added after apppath...
  • RanieRanie
    Or maybe just modify the core file until I can extend the Fuel class?
  • Jelmer SchreuderJelmer Schreuder
    The core has been fixed. Did you read the docs btw? There's a param which allows you to make the new path prefixed, it's not really hidden or anything...
  • RanieRanie
    Well I did... But I was dumping the $paths array in the "find_file" method... There the app/modules is first even though I provide true in add_path method... I notice that If I dump the get_paths right after I add the paths they are right. My paths are first... But when I dump the paths in the find_file method the app\modules is added somewhere along the line to the "top". I'm a bit tiered so I'm sorry if this is just me being stupid. I apologise for it in advance and appreciate your help.

    Sorry, forgot about that: Request paths (app & module) are added before the system-wide paths. You need this method to add paths to your request.
  • RanieRanie
    That did the trick! I didn't even know Request had this method... Thanks Fuel Maestro
