parent::renderHtml()

[Jake Bunce]

I am extending:

XenForo_ViewAdmin_Node_List

This class is not defined in the default software so I don't need to call the parent in my extended function. But there is the case of other addons also extending this class in which case a parent call needs to be in place. Because the parent may not exist I need some condition to check the existence of the parent function. I have tried a few things including method_exists() and is_callable() but it's not working. The 'parent' keyword doesn't seem to work for such a check in this context.

Ideas?

Does it throw an error that the function doesn't exist?

Try:

method_exists(get_parent_class($this), 'renderHtml')

That works.

That works.

No it will not...
