Is it possible to extend a custom library? I'm not talking about a Core Library, but something like this:

Code:
class mylibrary{}

Code:
class somelibrary extend mylibrary{}

Code:
// some controller

$this->load->library('somelibrary');

Yeah, but you would need to specify the include path manually, so

Code:
include APPPATH.'libraries/My_library.php';

class Some_library extends My_library {

  ...

}

Yeah that's what I thought. Looks ugly so I guess I just have to edit the library. I was hoping I could use one of my libraries and then override one of the functions but I guess editing will get me the same result.

Thanks for the quick answer.
