Extending XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode, what event to listen to ?

[Jean-Baptiste]

Hello,

I would like to redefine a method in the XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode class.

What event do I have to listen to (in code event listener)?

Best regards.

You need XenForo 1.2 (that's when the load_class event was added).

Oh great thanks you very much Chris, so the load_class event allow us to load any class That's great !

 

[Chris D]

Almost any class...

From the details of the event:

Called when instantiating a class. This event can be used to extend the class that will be instantiated dynamically. Note that not all classes that are to be instantiated will call this but many will.

Not sure it works with XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode... I could be wrong, but I sort of recall I tried it for something and it didn't.

 

[Chris D]

It does work. I did a quick test before I suggested it as I wasn't sure myself it would work or not.

I was able to overwrite and extend a couple of functions no problem

Yes, since xf 1.2 and the new load_class event it's working

 

[digitalpoint]

Nice... then I guess I need to loop back and see what I did wrong. Probably had a typo or something.

The BbCode_TextWrapper is the class one can not extend

 

[digitalpoint]

Oh yeah... that was it.

Now if load_class would just work on Helpers...

 

[Jeremy]

Helpers are loaded via direct calls, so a different system would have to be baked in for those.

I can confirm you that I correctly extended the class XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode.

It works, the class BbCode_TextWrapper doesn't like to be extended. It took me some time to figure it out, that it was entirely not possible I am very thankful to the great community here where experienced developers help out beginners.

And to extend XenForo_Router::math method, what should I listen to? :/

 

[Chris D]

Doesn't load_class work for that?

 

[Jean-Baptiste]

Doesn't load_class work for that?

I tried but didn't succed. If you use load class, and dump the class you have, you won't find any xenforo_router.

 

[xf_phantom]

event load_class_route_prefix ?

 

[Jean-Baptiste]

event load_class_route_prefix ?

Nice find, it may do the job but we can't extend XenForo_Router with load_class_route_prefix.

There is no XenForo_Route class?!
