Library Loading - Error

[eluser]Shiju S S[/eluser]
I have extended CI_Loader:

Code:

class Loader extends CI_Loader
{

    var $_matchbox;


function __construct()
{
        parent::__construct();
  // {{{ Matchbox

        $this->_matchbox = &load;_class('Matchbox');

        // }}}

        $this->_ci_is_php5 = (floor(phpversion()) >= 5) ? TRUE : FALSE;
        $this->_ci_view_path = APPPATH.'views/';
        $this->_ci_ob_level  = ob_get_level();

        log_message('debug', "Loader Class Initialized");
    }

Used it in another library file Site_Manager like this:

Code:

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

  // Load site wide modules
  
$this->loader->module_library('status','status');

I am getting an error

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Home::$loader

Please help.

1) You don't have to load the loader class, since it's automatically loaded when your CI::APP is initiated. Otherwise you won't even be able to load the loader class. See the recursion?
2) Did you read the user guide? If you want to extend a core library, you have to use your subclass_prefix which is defined in ./application/config/config.php. If you extended the CI_Loader class properly, it will automatically be loaded, too.
3) The loader class is assigned as

Code:

$this->load->some_method()

from CI::APP

I changed code to

Code:

class Loader
{
    
    var $_matchbox;

function __construct()
{
        parent::__construct();
  // {{{ Matchbox

        $this->_matchbox = &load;_class('Matchbox');

        // }}}

        $this->_ci_is_php5 = (floor(phpversion()) >= 5) ? TRUE : FALSE;
        $this->_ci_view_path = APPPATH.'views/';
        $this->_ci_ob_level  = ob_get_level();

        log_message('debug', "Loader Class Initialized");
    }

Same problem

You still ought to actually change the name of your library to

Code:

class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader

if you want to extend the CI_Loader and want the class to be autoloaded right when CI_Loader is loaded.
