Question about classes folder of custom extension

John Moritz	Friday 03 July 2009 7:12:23 pm I made a custom extension where i have some .php class files. I placed this files on the classes folder of my extension. On the Module script i have included the class file with: include_once( 'extension/name/classes/class.php' ); After searchin for some errors i commented this line out. What i am wondering now is the fact, that the class ist still included! So my question is, when i place a class file on the classes folder, is there any ezPublish functionality which includes this file automaticly? And if yes, which script can use the classes? Is it possible that a second extension can use classes of the first without including the file manually? Is it available on the whole installation? It´s 4.1.2. I am a little bit confused.

Regenerate the autoload array for extensions The autoload system has also some changes, for example the autoload array for extensions is now placed in var/autoload of your eZ Publish installation (along teh class changes in extensions itself). To regenerate the autoload array, execute the following script from php bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php --extension Clearing the caches Whenever an eZ Publish solution is upgraded, all caches must be cleared in a proper way. This should be done from within a system shell: Navigate into the eZ Publish 4.1 directory. Run the script using the following shell command: php bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all --purge Cheers, Heath Brookins Consulting \| http://brookinsconsulting.com/ Certified \| http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/380350 Solutions \| http://projects.ez.no/users/community/brookins_consulting eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org

<i>bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php</i>

<i>bin/php/ezcache.php</i>

I think you can comment out your include_once/etc.

eZ Publish has an autoload system to load php classes.

Regenerate the autoload array for extensions

The autoload system has also some changes, for example the autoload array for extensions is now placed in var/autoload of your eZ Publish installation (along teh class changes in extensions itself).

To regenerate the autoload array, execute the following script from

php bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php --extension

Clearing the caches

Whenever an eZ Publish solution is upgraded, all caches must be cleared in a proper way. This should be done from within a system shell:

Navigate into the eZ Publish 4.1 directory. Run the script using the following shell command:

php bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all --purge

Cheers,
