Heya,

I'm working on a connector for the UserForms to send data to a third party service on submit. I'm just not sure how to get override/extend functions in PHP to make this possible.

Currently have a simple class

class ServiceConnector extends Extension
{

    public function onAfterInit()
    {
        echo "<h1>TEST!</h1>";
    }

}

and in a config.yml I've got

UserDefinedForm_Controller:
  extensions:
    - ServiceConnector 

This works in the sense that TEST! is showing up each time a page where a userform is displayed (Testing I've got the extension at least partially correct), but how do I go about getting the actual data json array?

I thought I would have been able to 'extend' the process method from the userform controller but if I try and do something like

class ServiceConnector extends Extension
{

    public function process($data, $form)
    {
        echo $this->owner->data
    }

}

I get nothing, so assuming its not calling my version of the method? Same can be said for any method I try and extend/modify.

After a bit of googling, seems an easier way is to subclass the Userform_Controller and override the process method.

If thats the case, why is this function ignored?

class TestConnector_Controller extends UserDefinedForm_Controller
{

    private static $allowed_actions = array(
        'process'
    );

    public function process($data, $form)
    {
        echo "TEST";
    }

}

Seems this is now more a blog than a request for assistants.

For anyone else; The reason the second solution is being ignored is I forgot to inject the subclass. In the config.yml simply adding

Injector:
  UserDefinedForm:
    class: TestConnector

Solved the issue. Pressing forwards.
