How to create a lib function without modifying the core functions
By Jijo Joseph
I wanted to create a filter function same as isAdmin for a different role. Is there any way that we can duplicate the engine/lib/users.php in mod/some_theme/engine/lib/users.php as we do for views.

You must log in to post replies.short answer... no
I don't know of any way of modifying the core classes without hacking the core, or extending the classes with your own. Can you not use a global function for it?
Thanks for the quick reply.
let me know where will I define/create a global function?. (Since I'm new to elgg, sorry, if this is silly)
start.php of your plugin. You can register your functions in a seperate library and can load it as and when needed using elgg_register_lib() and elgg_load_lib(). Take a look at some core plugins.
