Extending Native Libraries or Replacing Native Libraries with Your Versions - xirah - 09-12-2016
Hi all,
I want to extend the Log library to customize the log format. I have create my own class MY_Log extending CI_Log in application/libraries. When I load this library I have this error: Unable to load the requested class: Log.
I have copied the original Log class system/core/Log to application/libraries to replace the native one, but I have the same error.
I am using codeigniter 3.0.6
Can somebody help me to solve this issue ?

In the future fyi:
If the Library you are extending is in the:
system/core then it goes in application/core
system/libraries it goes in application/libraries

You do not need to copy the original file when extending a Core class. In fact, you should not do that.
To extend the log library it would look something like this
Code:
class My_Log extends CI_Log {
protected $my_custom_var;
public function __construct()
{
parent :: __construct();
//your stuff here
$this->my_custom_var = "Custom Loggers Are Great!";
}
//your new class function
public function my_special_logger()
{
//your code
}
//overwrite a base class function
public function write_log($level, $msg)
{
//your file writing routines here (which might include copying code from Log.php in this case)
}

I have noticed it. Thanks.
