joomla - How to modify com_mailto to fit out needs -
i'm developing site company , need modify native component "mailto" fit our needs. i'm working joomla 2.5
i wondering if future updates occur, happen lines i've added, example, in "\components\com_mailto\controller.php"...
i haven't find answers on net.
also, same reason, i've modified default layout of article. should rename it? , if yes, how, because couldn't (when i've tried article did not display).
thanks help
before starting edit core joomla components, should should have @ options have. don't believe in editing core file causes problems updates when released, therefore in opinion, have 2 options:
- i make note of requirements , start looking 3rd party extension caters requirements.
- if cannot find 3rd party extension , don't particularly want start digging it's code, go developing plugin. plugins used manipulate behavior or , therefore come in extremely handy when require core editing.
editing layout of extension view fine, it's recommended make template override if extension ever updated, changes won't overridden.
so answer initial question, line have added controller.php file will overridden when decide update extension.
hope helps
