Extending extended class?

[MattW]

So, I'm trying to get 2 of my addons to work with XenPorta. I've asked in the addon thread, but not had a response from the developer, so I'm asking in here hoping someone else might be able to help?

My addons both extend XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum and allow the data to be added to the forum_stats block.

XenPorta seems to also extend XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum

case 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum':
                $extend[] = 'EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Forum';
                break;

class EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Forum extends XFCP_EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Forum
{
    public $perms;

    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $response = parent::actionIndex();
        $options = XenForo_Application::get('options');

        if ($response instanceof XenForo_ControllerResponse_View && $options->EWRporta_globalize['index'])
        {
            $response->params['layout1'] = 'index';
            $response->params['layout2'] = 'portal';
        }

        return $response;
    }

I'm stuck now how I get my data into that class EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Forum? I've tried to extend EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Forum but that doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you can set the listener priority to a higher value than the value from EWRporta. The regular priority value is 10. I think the higher value executes later, and you want the EWRporta addon to be executed before your addon. This is just a hint what could be improved.

But I do not know if you can extend an addon.

It should just be a case of extending the default controller but you may need to change the execution order as Marcus suggests.

 

[MattW]

My add-on is set to just extend the default controller, but changing the priority doesn't change anything when the portal is enabled.

<?php

class AttachStats_Listener
{
    public static function extendControllers($class, &$extend)
    {
        switch ($class)
        {
            case 'XenForo_ControllerAdmin_Home':
            $extend[] = 'AttachStats_ControllerAdmin_AttachStats';
            break;

            case 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum':
            $extend[] = 'AttachStats_ControllerPublic_AttachStats';
            break;
        }
    }
}

If I echo out the variable in the template, it's just returning null

I can also see my results being fetched from the data_registry when the index page runs. I've no idea what these blocks are doing that is different from the default XF ones.

If your data is being retrieved, that means that your code is running. What is your controller code?

        $options = XenForo_Application::get('options');
        $stats_format = $options->statsformat;
        $AttachStatsModel = $this->_getAttachStatsModel();
       
        switch ($stats_format)
        {
            case 'mb':
            $sizeAttachments = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->get('sizeAttachments');
            $parent->params['sizeAttachments'] = ($sizeAttachments * .0009765625) * .0009765625; // size in MB
            break;
           
            case 'gb':
            $sizeAttachments = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->get('sizeAttachments');
            $parent->params['sizeAttachments'] = (($sizeAttachments * .0009765625) * .0009765625) *.0009765625; // size in GB
            break; 
        }

        $parent->params['stats_format'] = $stats_format;

        $totalAttachments = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->get('totalAttachments');
        $parent->params['totalAttachments'] = $totalAttachments;
   
        return $parent;
    }

    protected function _getAttachStatsModel()
    {
        return $this->getModelFromCache('AttachStats_Model_AttachStats');
    }   
}

and I call the model via the cron

<?php

class AttachStats_CronEntry_AttachStats
{
    public static function getTotalAttachments()
    {
        $attachCountModel = XenForo_Model::create('AttachStats_Model_AttachStats');
       
        $totalAttachments = $attachCountModel->getNumRecords();
        XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->set('totalAttachments', $totalAttachments);
       
        $sizeAttachments = $attachCountModel->getTotalUsage();
        XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->set('sizeAttachments', $sizeAttachments);
   
    $usageAttachments = $attachCountModel->getContentType();
    XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->set('usageAttachments', $usageAttachments);

    $typeAttachments = $attachCountModel->getAttachmentType();
    XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->set('typeAttachments', $typeAttachments);

    }
}

It only doesn't work when XenPorta is enabled, and no matter where I put the code in the template, it's not putting my data into the templates.

Are you sure XenPorta doesn't modify the params or use different templates via its layouts?

Looking more at the XenPorta code......I think it does
