hi,
extending core features, found doc page: http://docs.fuelphp.com/general/extending_core.html
But:
I use a 3rd party package and want to extend it, but dont want to edit original files.
So whats the correct way to extend a package?
Hard to say, depends on the package. If it is namespaced and has that registered as a core_namespace then you can do it exactly like the core classes. In other cases it depends on if the package allows for it.
One alternative is always available: add a replacement class. You copy paste the original class (including namespace) and put it somewhere outside the package where you edit it. Once you're done you add the class manually to the autoloader in your app bootstrap (or in another package) to tell the autoloader where to find the class. http://docs.fuelphp.com/classes/autoloader.html#/method_add_class
