I know this has been asked a few times on here, but I've been through the answers and still can't figure out why I can't override a core model in Magento:
I am trying to override the Eav/Attribute/Data/Text.php but it refuses to use my version of the validateValue()
function.
Here is my model class /app/code/local/Hailstorm/Eav/Model/Attribute/Data/Text.php
class Hailstorm_Eav_Model_Attribute_Data_Text extends Mage_Eav_Model_Attribute_Data_Text {
public function validateValue($value) {
$attribute = $this->getAttribute();
echo "My validator for |" . $attribute->getAttributeCode() . "|!\n";
if ($attribute->getAttributeCode() == 'postcode') {
$countryId = $this->getExtractedData('country_id');
$optionalZip = Mage::helper('directory')->getCountriesWithOptionalZip();
if (!in_array($countryId, $optionalZip)) {
return parent::validateValue($value);
}
return true;
}
else {
return parent::validateValue($value);
}
}
}
Here is my config.xml /app/code/local/Hailstorm/Eav/etc/config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<hailstorm_eav>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</hailstorm_eav>
</modules>
<global>
<models>
<eav>
<rewrite>
<attribute_data_text>Hailstorm_Eav_Model_Attribute_Data_Text</attribute_data_text>
</rewrite>
</eav>
</models>
<hailstorm_eav>
<class>Hailstorm_Eav_Model</class>
</hailstorm_eav>
</global>
</config>
And here is my module xml file
/app/etc/modules/Hailstorm_Eav.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<hailstorm_eav>
<active>true</active>
<codepool>local</codepool>
</hailstorm_eav>
</modules>
</config>
I've been through the tutorials and the answers to other questions like this on here, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!
Use this
<codePool>local</codePool>
