Override XenForo_ViewPublic_Helper_User::getUserFieldValueHtml

[Codeless]

Hello , I'm new to xenforo development and trying to Override XenForo_ViewPublic_Helper_User::getUserFieldValueHtml using existing tutorials with no success
this is my listener

class CustomField_Listener {
    public static function View($class, array &$extend)
    {  
	   if ($class == 'XenForo_ViewPublic_Helper_User')
            {
                $extend[] = 'CustomField_User';
            }
    }
}

it is set to load at load_class_view ..
and this code doesn't work

class CustomField_User extends XFCP_CustomField_User
{

    public function getUserFieldValueHtml(array $field, $value = null)
    {

	return  'TEST';
    }

}

any help would be appreciated

The short answer is that you can't extend/override static calls to methods. You would need to take a different approach. What sort of change are you trying to make?

I have custom field type 'attachment' and want to return attachment data instead of attachment id .. adding this code on getUserFieldValueHtml does the purpose ..

if ($field['field_id'] == 'medicalid') {
            $attachmentModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_Attachment');

        $attachments = $attachmentModel->getAttachmentsByContentId('custom_field', $value);

        if ($attachments) {
            $attachment = reset($attachments);
            $value = $attachmentModel->prepareAttachment($attachment);
        } else {
            $value = '';
        }

but I need to do this without editing files

Can I render attachment by id on templates ?

You'll likely need to approach this differently if you want to do it without code edits. It may mean overriding the userfieldvalue template function entirely.

In terms of rendering, you'd need to figure out what your needs are. I'm not sure there's a standalone template that would necessarily fit your needs.
