Override administrator controller/controller.php was created by James Riley

I'm trying to override a function using the new override method. I've been able to override front-end controllers, but I'm having trouble with a back-end override.

I'm attempting to implement support for a backend custom.css file, and it works in the core controller.php file just fine.
Here's the code that I have placed in /administrator/components/com_eventbooking/controller/override/controller.php with my additions annotated between the BEGIN-and END JAMES ADD tags:

Code:

<?php
class EventbookingControllerOverride extends EventbookingController
{
	public function display($cachable = false, array $urlparams = array())
	{	
		JFactory::getDocument()->addStyleSheet(JUri::base(true) . '/components/com_eventbooking/assets/css/style.css');
		/* ********** BEGIN JAMES ADD 11/03/2016 ******************** */
		if (file_exists(JPATH_ROOT . '/administrator/components/com_eventbooking/assets/css/custom.css') && filesize(JPATH_ROOT . '/administrator/components/com_eventbooking/assets/css/custom.css') > 0 )
		{
			JFactory::getDocument()->addStyleSheet(JUri::base(true) . '/components/com_eventbooking/assets/css/custom.css');
		}
		/* ********** END JAMES ADD 11/03/2016 ******************** */

		parent::display($cachable, $urlparams);

		if ($this->input->getCmd('format', 'html') != 'raw')
		{
			EventbookingHelper::displayCopyRight();
		}
	}
}
?>

Can I not override this function? Am I doing something wrong? Or are overrides not implemented for the back-end component yet?

Hi James

The class name is not correct. It should be EventbookingControllerOverrideController

Regards,

Tuan

Ahhh... It works now

Thanks, Tuan.

So, with overrides, if you are overriding the a "root" EventbookingController or a EventbookingHelper, etc., class, you need to add "OverrideController" or "OverrideHelper" to the end of the new override class, and not insert "Override" as you would in the case other classes.

Example:

EventbookingController -> EventbookingControllerOverrideController
EventbookingControllerRegister -> EventbookingControllerOverrideRegister

Could you update the documentation to reflect this? There is one example under Helper that shows this in use, but the instructions for helper / controller / view / model just say to insert "Override" without mentioning this exception.
