Can I Override, The Built In Client/services/review/ Page, Without Modifying The Source Code In The App Folder?

[bobs@sectorlink]

I've made a plugin that does Hourly billing and it needs to override how the built in controller for client/services/review/ works, so it will also display some new features.

 

It is possible to do this without changing the core (controller or views) files for it, in other-words: I want to be able to do updates without re-copying over files to the core system. I was told that the new invoice plugin does this somehow, but I haven't had a chance to look at the code....

 

Right now the only way I've got it to work is by adding an include (in the core view file /var/www/blesta/app/views/client/bootstrap/client_services_review.pdt) to my plugin view, which is not what I want, as I will have other things I will also need to hack in that way as well.

 

I hope its possible, to override how the tab for client/services/review page works, with some controller logic of my plugin. How would you go about extending a plugin to override the main controller file?

 

Thanks, in advance.

 

Also, has anyone already made an hourly plugin I could use, just checking...I could not find one in the forums...

 

Sincerely,

Bob

The only way I'm aware you might be able to do this without modifying the core is to use vQmod to create virtualized modifications to the core, e.g. to load your custom view rather than the default one.

Very good, I've used vQmod before with OpenCart, so that will work just fine.

 

I've already did some testing and got it to override the view....

 

Thanks, for the link to the download. Have a great day
