Howdy,

I am trying to modify some functions in the project class in the project
module's (class.project.inc) file by extending them with an add-on module I
called projectstatus, though the module appears to load fine, it does not
override the project() or initial_values() functions in the project class. I
would prefer to use an override to replacing the whole module or recoding
the base module because I want to try to avoid problems when upgrading to
newer versions and it seemed more extensible for small changes. With this
method I should only need to modify the exact functions I need in a given
class and I can keep my changes and the existing base code separated. Does
anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong or a better way to
do this? Just to clarify when I put the modified code from the two function
I want to change into the actual module and test, it does work so I know
that the related status module (statustypes.statustypes) that produces "the
statustypeid" data I added do function correctly.

I first tried "extends project" but that failed with an error "Cannot
inherit undefined class project" so I tried (extends mod_project) instead
and it did not break, though it did not work either. The dbg messages do
state that the module has loaded successfully.

class mod_projectstatus extends mod_project
  {
  function project()
    {
      global $ATK_VARS, $g_sessionManager;

      $this->atkNode("project",NF_EDITAFTERADD);

      $this->add(new atkAttribute("id",AF_AUTOKEY));
      
      $this->add(new
atkAttribute("name",AF_UNIQUE|AF_OBLIGATORY|AF_SEARCHABLE, 50));
      $this->add(new atkAttribute("abbreviation",
AF_SEARCHABLE|AF_HIDE_LIST, 10));

      $this->add(new
atkManyToOneRelation("coordinator","employee.employee",AF_SEARCHABLE|AF_HIDE
_ADD|AF_RELATION_AUTOLINK));
      $this->add(new

      $this->add(new

      // If we are in project administration mode, we show all projects.
Otherwise, we only
      // show active projects.
      if ($ATK_VARS["atknodetype"]=="project.project"&&
in_array($ATK_VARS["atkaction"],array("admin","add","update","edit","search"
, "view")))
      {
        $this->add(new
atkListAttribute("status",array("active","nonactive","archived"),array(),AF_
HIDE_ADD|AF_SEARCHABLE, 15));
      }
      else
      {
        $this->add(new

  $this->add(new atkManyToOneRelation("statustypeid",

  // This function's array has statustypeid added to it.	
  function initial_values()
