Extending class from another plugin

@Jrbdog, I cannot get LightSlider to work either using autoloader, but the following workaround does work (using Grav 1.7.0-rc.20) :

  • No need to alter default ‘/user/plugins/child/composer.json’
  • To override LightSlider::onTwigSiteVariables() in ‘child.php’ use:
    <?php
namespace Grav\Plugin;

use Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader;

require __DIR__ . '/../lightslider/lightslider.php';

use Grav\Plugin\LightsliderPlugin;

class ChildPlugin extends LightSliderPlugin
{
  public function autoload(): ClassLoader
  {
    return require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
  }

  public function onTwigSiteVariables() {
      parent::onTwigSiteVariables();
  }
}
