Damien MARTIN	Tuesday 14 June 2011 1:43:22 am Hi there, I would like to know if it is possible to add rules to autoload through ez extensions without having to alter /autoload.php . My problem is that I have to include an extra library to read some xls files. It works well outside of ezpublish. But to integrate it I have to add some things in the beginning : $path = './Classes/'; set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path); function __autoload($classe) { $fichier = str_replace ( '_', # Caractère à remplacer. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, # Caractère de remplacement. $classe # Cible du remplacement. ) . '.php' ; require_once($fichier) ; # Chargement de la classe. } // Because the name of the classes is made of the full path to the class file // ex. : $objet = new PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5();
Jérôme Vieilledent	Tuesday 14 June 2011 1:50:52 am 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> */
