I’m developing an extension wich revamps the publish form, adding a custom field wich allows to select an image from a gallery(using the gallery module). I want to implement the selection of the especific picture with AJAX… Is there a way to call with an URL a function in the php file of the extension? or something like that? (I want to implement all the backend in the same file)

Thanks (If I manage to finish this extension I will share it )

Depending on what you’re doing, I think you will probably need to include it like you would the typography class.

if ( ! class_exists('Typography'))
{
    require PATH_CORE.'core.typography'.EXT;
}

$TYPE = new Typography; 

I’m going to shift this down to the extensions forums, as it’s a better fit.

I hope I’m understanding your question correctly and that is what you’re looking for.

mmmm, I want to do this :

I have an extension

Class extension
{

 constructor
 .
 .
 .

 function do_something($params)
 {
   //this function is called by a hook etc...
 }

 function do_something_outside_the_extension()
 {
   //do something with $_GET params
 }

} 

and i want to somehow externally call function do_something_outside_the_extension

by externally I mean ... accesing the logic in do_something_outside_the_extension function by the means of an URL or something

like www.eeserver.com/index.php?do_something_outside_the_extension_function_execution_parameter
