Hi,

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I'm trying to extend a Controller class that extends Page_Controller. So for example

Class ForumHolder_Controller extends Page_Controller{
     function init(){
            parent::init();
     }
}

and then I have:

class ForumHolderExtension_Controller extends ForumHolder_Controller{
      function init(){
            parent::init();
            Requirements::CSS('themes/'. SSViewer::current_theme() .'/css/test.css');
      }
}

my test.css will not be included on the page. Is this possible?

In the end what I am trying to accomplish is in my ForumHolderExtension_Controller I want to add some Permission:: checks to the init function. Is there an alternative approach to solving this?

Thank you.

I managed to get something working, but I'm not sure if this is the best approach - here is my code.

class ForumHolder_Controller extends Page_Controller{
	function init(){
		parent::init();
		
		$allowed = true;
		
		$this->extend('updateInit', $allowed);
		
		if($allowed){
			//do nothing
		} else {
			Security::permissionFailure($this);		
		}
	}
}

and the extension:

class ForumHolderExtension_Controller extends Extension{	
	
	
	function updateInit(&$allowed){
		//checking permission using custom PlanPermission class
		$allowed = PlanPermission::check('FORUM_VIEW');	
		return $allowed;
	}		
	
}

and of course in my _config.php I have:

Object::extension('ForumHolder_Controller', 'ForumHolderExtension_Controller');

This works, if I'm signed in as a member with the proper permissions I can view the page, and members without the proper permissions are blocked. One problem though is that if i'm signed in as a member without proper permissions I get a white screen, but if I'm not signed in I get the SS login form.
