How to overwrite set_notification_body()

[Cedric K]

Hello,

I would like to overwrite the method aCase::set_notification_body() in a safe upgrade way.
To do that, I have created the following class in custom/modules/Cases/Cases_assigmnent.php

 require_once('modules/Cases/Case.php');

class Case_assignment extends aCase {
    function Case_assignment() {
        parent::aCase();
    }
    
    function set_notification_body($xtpl, $case)
    {
        die("custom");    
    }
} 
  

I call this class in custom/modules/Cases/controller.php

 class CasesController extends SugarController {

     function action_editview() {
        require_once('custom/modules/Cases/Case_assignment.php');
    
        $this->bean = new Case_assignment();//to use the overwritten method set_notification_body
        $this->view = 'edit';
        $GLOBALS['view'] = $this->view;

    }
} 
  

This doesn't work. The original methiod aCase::set_notification_body is still called.
The issue is that I don't know in which view is called the method set_notification_body() so I don't know in which action I am supposed to call my class.
Any help please ?

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately this method can not be extended in an upgrade safe way.
You should need to override it by yourself.
Controller is loaded in context of DetailView, EditView or ListView of own module.
If you save the Cases through Quick Create subpanel under Accounts or by Inbound Email so it will never be called.

Cheers
