Is it possible to override/extend the plugin's controllers/models ?

[vaanbooch]

Hi again,

I need to add some functionality to the users_controller.php dashboard() function and maybe the user.php model also.

The easy way is to modify the plugin, but I wonder if it's possible to override/extend the plugin's controllers/models and leave the original untouched? With the views there isn't a problem, because cake supports it by default.

If it's possible, it would be far easier to keep the plugin up to date.

Regards!

Hi Vaan,

I did a similar question some weeks ago on stackoverflow and I got an answer, it is not what I was expecting but maybe it helps you
