haymanpl Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I need to add more code to an existing function located inside the parent class. I'm using code like this but can't get it working : // Parent class Default_Fields { public function fields() { $this->_fields = array() // Default Code } } // Child class More_Fields extends Default_Fields { public function fields() { $this->_fields = array() // Modified Code } } $new = new More_Fields; $new->fields(); The modified code in the child class is an extended version of whats in the parent. There's no errors but the additional code is not printing. I can link to the complete file containing all the parent code if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The child class is NOT adding the new code. I'm trying to add code to an existing public function using a child class. I need to extend a parent class to add an extra field. This is the parent class. class Default_Fields { public function fields() { $this->_fields = array() array( 'name' => 'text_one', 'label' => __( 'Text One' ), 'type' => 'text', ), ); } } This is the child class class More_Fields extends Default_Fields { public function fields() { $this->_fields = array() array( 'name' => 'text_one', 'label' => __( 'Text One' ), 'type' => 'text', ), array( 'name' => 'text_two', 'label' => __( 'Text Two' ), 'type' => 'text', ), ); } } $new = new More_Fields; $new->fields(); The additional code in the child class for Text Two is not added. Not sure why. What am i missing or is there another method? Edited September 29, 2019 by haymanpl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
