extend.php and adding view additional path

huglester

Hello,
so I wanted to overwrite the frontend/app.blade.php file

my extend.php file:

<?php 
use Flarum\Extend;
use Flarum\Frontend\Document;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory;

return [
    new Extend\Locales(__DIR__.'/resources/locale'),
    (new Extend\Frontend('forum'))
        ->content(function (Document $document) {
            // $document->contentView = 'frontend';
        }),
    function (Dispatcher $events, Factory $views) {
        $views->addNamespace('front', __DIR__.'/resources/views');
    },
];

the error I get: Error booting Flarum: Call to undefined method Closure::extend()
If I remove the:

function (Dispatcher $events, Factory $views) {
        $views->addNamespace('front', __DIR__.'/resources/views');
    },

forum loads.
any idea?

Create a custom Extender that implements the ExtenderInterface. Here is a recent one of mine: https://github.com/Bokt/flarum-queue/blob/master/src/Extend/EnableQueues.php

If you're trying to do this on a local extend.php (root flarum install directory), make sure to add a namespace and path in your composer.json. Recommended would be something like:

  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\": "app/"
    }
  },

Your code would go into app/, eg app/Extend/ViewNamespace.php.

Then use App\Extend\ViewNamespace in your extend.php.

Hello, thanks.
I've updated composer.json, did dump autoload.
created app/Extend/ViewNamespace.php

contents empty basically : http://pic.webas.lt/webas.lt-6f5e91d48e.png

but when I add to root of the project, this:
return [ new Extend\Provider(\App\Extend\ViewNamespace::class), ];
I get 500 error. But no logs

Look, you extend: new Extend\Provider
where do you get that from? 🙂

That extend.php should not exist in the package 😉

I've refactored it lately. But you can use the App\Extend\ViewNamespace class inside your local extend.php, no need to do anything special.

Here's an extender I've used to hard-override the logo:

app/Design/Logo.php:

<?php

namespace App\Design;

use Flarum\Extend\ExtenderInterface;
use Flarum\Extension\Extension;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Container\Container;
use Illuminate\View\View;

class Logo implements ExtenderInterface
{
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    private $path;

    public function __construct(string $path)
    {
        $this->path = $path;
    }

    public function extend(Container $container, Extension $extension = null)
    {
        $container->extend('view', function ($view) {
            $view->composer("*", function (View $view) {
                $view->with('forum', ['logoUrl' => $this->path]);
            });
            return $view;
        });
    }
}

inside extend.php:

return [
    new \App\Design\Logo('/assets/logo.png')
];
