Add rules to autoload

Hi Damien

Yes, this is possible, but not inside extensions. You will need to alter your config.php.

Here's an extract from config.php-RECOMMENDED :

/*
   CUSTOM AUTOLOAD MECHANISM
   -------------------------
   It is also possible to push a custom autoload method to the autoload
   function stack. Remember to check for class prefixes in such a method, if it
   will not serve classes from eZ Publish and eZ Components.
   Here is an example code snippet to be placed right in this file, in the case
   you would be using your custom Foo framework, in which all PHP classes would be
   prefixed by 'Foo' :

   <code>
       ini_set( 'include_path', ini_get( 'include_path' ). ':/usr/lib/FooFramework/' );
       require 'Foo/ClassLoader.php';

       function fooAutoload( $className )
       {
          if ( 'Foo' == substr( $className, 0, 3 ) )
          {
              FooClassLoader::loadClass( $className );
          }
       }
       spl_autoload_register( 'fooAutoload' );
   </code>

Hi Damien, in fact you can use external libraries without altering config.php, see here:

Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it!
