Adding Custom Functions Class
Development and Programming
Not a critical issue, just looking for a little input.
I use the Functions Class quite a bit: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/development/reference/functions.html
And I’m looking for creating my own similar class for functions I use in different things in different places (for example, a function for creating a specifically crafted random password)
Where could I place the functions file such that it could be loaded similar to the functions class:
$memberlist_url = $this->EE->functions->create_url('member/memberlist');
it would be better if you create your own library by following the ways as : - create you library file into system\expressionengine\libraries. follow the convention, first letter of file name should be in upper case
- in this library file create class preceding with EE_ with file name like
class class EE_Mylibrary
{
}- you can use your library functions by loading it like :
$this->EE->load->library('Mylibrary');
/* let you have created library file named Mylibrary.php */
/* Call your function */
$this->EE->mylibrary->your_function();hope this would you.
Best Regards,
Perfect - thank you very much!
