Multiple access type modifiers are not allowed

Hi folks,

I'm having a clash with one of my add-ons (paid) and someone else's add-on.
Thread is here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/user-map-paid.116884

In my data writer, I extend DataWriter_User

Code:
class Crispin_UserMap_DataWriter_User extends XFCP_Crispin_UserMap_DataWriter_User
{

    public function _postSave()
    {
        // call parent
        parent::_postSave();

        if (!XenForo_Application::get('options')->crispin_usermap_enable_geolocation_on_save)
            return;
....snip


The error is coming in because another add-on is doing the same thing but his _postSave method is protected. Mine is public.

At first I thought fair-enough, it's an _ method so perhaps protected is correct. However, if I specify protected then I get the error:
Multiple access type modifiers are not allowed


So...
a) Who's correct? Me or the other add-on?
b) if other add-on then what I do too correct it and make it working in future?


thanks

Afaik this error occurs only if you (accidentially) state more than one access modifier such as in public private myMethod()

The _postSave() method in the XF core is declared as protected. So you should also use this modifier for your method..
 
yup, I was being silly. Apologies - I should have updated the thread.


I did have it as public by mistake. The give-away should have been the method starting with an underscore.

When I fixed that I got the "multiple access type" error because one of the methods being called was public.

All in all - it was a PEBCAK error :)
