Using Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Standard in a custom EXT

[Dennis]

Hi,

in a custom extension I want to extend the core class Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Standard, but am getting the error 'PHP Fatal error: Class 'Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Standard' not found in ... (path of the custom php class)'.

The aimeos extension, where the class Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Standard is defined, is installed and activated, too.

Additionally I tried to build the extension with your extension builder described on https://aimeos.org/docs/Developers/Crea ... b.2Fcustom and https://aimeos.org/developer/extensions/, but am not getting rid of the error.

If I use something like this:

Code: Select all

$extPath = dirname(__DIR__, 6);
$localautoloader = $extPath . '/aimeos/Resources/Libraries/autoload.php';
if( file_exists( $localautoloader ) === true ) {
    require_once $localautoloader;
}

all classes are found and the error disappears.

However, I really think this is a suboptimal solution.

Could you explain a bit why exactly I get this error, why the core class is not found and what would be the best solution to extend the class Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Standard in a custom extension?

Thank you very much in advance again!

Can you share your class implementation for testing?

[aimeos]

We did a implementation of test classes to see if we get the same error but it works without problems and no additional autoloader is required. Here are the classes we've used:

Item:

Code: Select all

<?php

namespace Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item;

class Test
	extends \Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Standard
{
}

Manager:

Code: Select all

<?php

namespace Aimeos\MShop\Product\Manager;

class Test
	extends \Aimeos\MShop\Product\Manager\Standard
{
	protected function createItemBase( array $values = [], array $listItems = [],
		array $refItems = [], array $propertyItems = [] )
	{
		return new \Aimeos\MShop\Product\Item\Test( $values, $listItems, $refItems, $propertyItems );
	}
}

Required configuration:

Code: Select all

<?php

return [
	'product' => [
		'manager' => [
			'name' => 'Test',
		]
	]
];
