Override php files was created by csantos

Hello,

I am updating flexicontent, but my flexicontent has changes in original files.
Other person did these changes whithout think in future update. I am trying to correct this.

How can I override php files? I need something like Override view

Can it be done the same?

For example, I need override /administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/type.php or /administrator/components/com_flexicontent/controllers/items.php

Thank you!

flexicontent use defaut override system of joomla
only view and layout can be overrided

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello

Joomla and all Joomla extensions

do not support changing the files that you mentioned

For flexicontent
-- only these are supported to be overriden :
(1) template files of views
(2) layouts of fields
(3) copies of FC templates (item/category layouts)

The file that you changed is a "hack" of core files

- changing it means that you will have to restore the hack every time that you upgrade

- and if you choose not to upgrade Flexicontent or any other extension that you hack similarly means that sooner or later you will have other issues
