How to override Aimeos\Controller\Common\Media add() function.

[AnujMagar]

Hi,

I'm on using Laravel 9, Aimeos 2022.x and PHP 8.1 on linux

I need to customize the behavior of the add() function in the Aimeos\Controller\Common\Media class using extension. However, I'm unsure about the correct approach to override this function.

Specifically, I want to extend the functionality of the add() method in order to perform blurhash of $file when adding a new media item.

You can create your own common media controller class with a new name (e.g. "Mymedia") and extend from the "Standard" class:

Code: Select all

<?php
namespace Aimeos\Controller\Common\Media;

class Mymedia extends Standard
{
	public function add( \Aimeos\MShop\Media\Item\Iface $item, \Psr\Http\Message\UploadedFileInterface $file ) : \Aimeos\MShop\Media\Item\Iface
	{
		// own implementation
	}
}

Then, configure the new class to be used:

Code: Select all

controller/common/media/name = Mymedia

How to add configuration depends on the use framework. For Laravel it's in ./config/shop.php:

Code: Select all

'controller' => [
	'common' => [
		'media' => [
			'name' => 'Mymedia'
		]
	]
]
