Question

I try to rewrite core file from magento.
Somehow it does not overwrite the code. I try to overwrite the function getProduct().

Tipfix/Block/Product/View.php

<?php

class WP_Tipfix_Block_Catalog_Product_View extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View
{

    public function getProduct()
    {

        if (!Mage::registry('product') && $this->getProductId()) {
            $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($this->getProductId());
            Mage::register('product', $product);
        }

        //return Mage::registry('product');
    }
}

Tipfix/etc/config.xml

<blocks>
    <WP_Tipfix>
        <class>WP_Tipfix_Block</class>
    </WP_Tipfix>
    <catalog>
        <rewrite>
            <product_view>WP_Tipfix_Block_Catalog_Product_View</product_view>
        </rewrite>
    </catalog>
</blocks>

I have know idea what i’m doing wrong.

Answer 1

Your class is WP_Tipfix_Block_Catalog_Product_View which means it must be in the folder WP/Tipfix/Block/Catalog/Product/View.php. You must either move your Product directory into a new directory called Catalog in that place or rename your class (both the class and in the XML) to WP_Tipfix_Block_Product_View. I recommend moving the file.
