This works, but I really wonder if it is the proper way.. It seems like
there are two objects being created and only one is being returned so
the user really doesn't have access to the second one.
var Ajax.ExtendedInPlaceEditor = Class.create();
Object.extend(Ajax.ExtendedInPlaceEditor .prototype,
Ajax.InPlaceEditor.prototype);
Object.extend(Ajax.ExtendedInPlaceEditor .prototype, {
initialize: function(element, url, options) {
Object.extend(new Ajax.InPlaceEditor(element, url, Object.extend({
newOption: false,
overriddenOption: true,
}, options || {})), this);
//more initialization if necessary
},
createEditField: function() {
...
}
});
Maybe the better way would be to save the original initialize function
under a different name before calling the second Object.extend and then
calling it inside the new initialize? However, if this wouldn't play
well with multiple inheritance if you always used the same name for the
old initialize.. Anyone have a better way to extend a Prototype class
that let's you call the original initialize function?
Unfortunately I've found every time I need to add features to IPE I
always have to overwrite createEditField or some other function, but a
lot of the code is copied. It really needs more "hooks" implemented so
that you can add functionality simply by passing functions in the
options or extending the prototype with new functions. For example, an
onCreateEditField that is called after createEditField would let you do
stuff like attach a popup calendar or WYSIWYG editor without overriding
anything and without any code redundancy.
