Override Contact class

[maxime.lambert]

Hi all,

Can I override Contact class by creating a new file Contact.php in custom/modules/Contacts/ ?

Yes, you need to create a custom controller for Contacts module:

 <?PHP
require_once('include/MVC/Controller/SugarController.php');
require_once('custom/modules/Opportunities/OpportunityInListView.php');
 
class OpportunitiesController extends SugarController {
    function action_listview(){
        $this->view = 'list';
        $this->bean = new OpportunityInListView();
    }
}
?>  

Important note: the new class must extends the default one

Sorry, but I dont quite understand.

I would like to do something similar, overriding the Account.php bean to override the functions retrieve() and get_list_view_array() in an upgrade-safe manner.

I dont understand how to use andy's code to do this.

More explanation or another suggestion on how to do this?
