Question

Trying to extend a model for a custom extension. Simple enough…but rewrite doesnt seem to be working.

i want to rewrite the following model, located in a module in the community code folder:

Belvg_Stores_Model_State

With my own, located in a module in the local code folder:

Myco_Storelocator_Model_State

Here is the config xml from Myco_Storelocator. The block rewrite is working…the state rewrite is not.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>

<global>
    <modules>
        <myco_storelocator>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </myco_storelocator>
    </modules>
    <blocks>
        <storelocator><class>Myco_Storelocator_Block</class></storelocator>
        <stores>
            <rewrite>
                    <front>Myco_Storelocator_Block_Front</front>
            </rewrite>
        </stores>
    </blocks>
    <models>
        <stores>
            <rewrite>
                <state>Myco_Storelocator_Model_State</state>
            </rewrite>
        </stores>
    </models>
</global>   
<frontend>
  <layout>   
        <updates>   
            <storelocator>   
                <file>storelocator.xml</file>   
            </storelocator>   
        </updates>   
    </layout>
</frontend>   
</config>

Thanks for the help…

Needed to add the following to the relevant model rewrite…same as the block rewrite section:

<storelocator><class>Myco_Storelocator_Model</class></storelocator>

…doh.
