[Zope-CMF] Re: How can override ActionsTool (practically)

[Karim Yaici]

Ok, as I could not just sit there and wait for a reply, I went into
experimenting an idea though I was not sure about it . First, I took the
ActionsTool.py (CMFCore) and created a subclass (ActionsToolSubclass), and
overrided the 'listActions' method. Do not forget to change the last line of
the code to:
InitializeClass(ActionsToolSubclass)

Now, we need to tell CMF to use this tool. The way to do it is to modify the
'tools' tuple in the CMFCore/__init__.py, by removing
'ActionsTool.ActionsTool' and replacing it with
'ActionsTool.ActionsToolSubclass'

And this worked for me (it's broken now as I was trying to subclass
MembershipTool.py as well ;-( )

Thank you all

Karim
