Overwrite public function in

[Marcus]

To overwrite private function protected static function _getDefaultAvatarUrl() my plan is to overwrite the public function public static function getAvatarUrl() that uses the private one exclusively.*

How could I overwrite the public function? My addon listens on load_class_model and once the class is XenForo_Template_Helper_Core where the public function is located I extend that to my personal Core.php:

<?php
class MyAddon_Core extends XFCP_MyAddon_Core
 
public static function getAvatarUrl(array $user, $size, $forceType = '')
{  return ''; }

I want to disable all avatars with this test, however everything works as usual. Any ideas?


(* with the exception of gravatar functionality I disabled)

Maybe it possible with this tool: http://www.xf-russia.ru/forum/threads/proxy-class-autoloader.3214/

In library/config.php add:

Proxy_Autoloader::proxyInstance();

After need copy library/XenForo/Template/Helper/Core.php to library/Proxy/XenForo/Template/Helper/Core.php and change code as you want. In runtime will be used class from proxy.
It work without extending original class.

This is a great idea. However I want to make the changes as small as possible. The class Core.php is rather huge and I would very much prefer to only manipulate what I really have to change.

Simples variants are not possible. This tool only for admins and developers. Not for end users and by plugins.
