Overriding Doctrine_Record (sfDoctrineRecord) instance methods in Doctrine PHP Symfony
- by notbrain
My background is in Propel, so I was hoping it would be a simple thing to override a magical getter in a Doctrine_Record (sfDoctrineRecord), but I'm getting either a Segfault or the override method is simply ignored in favor of the one in the superclass.

class FaqCategory extends BaseFaqCategory
{
public function __toString()
{
return $this->getCategory();
}
// doesn't work
// override getDisplayName to fall back to category name if getDisplayName doesn't exist
public function getDisplayName() {
// also tried parent::getDisplayName() but got segfault(!)
if(isset($this->display_name)) {
$display_name = $this->display_name;
} else {
$display_name = $this->category;
}
return $display_name;
}
}
What is the proper Doctrine way to extend/override methods on an instance of Doctrine_Record (via sfDoctrineRecord extends Doctrine_Record)? This has to be doable...or should I be looking at the Template documentation?
Thanks,
Brian
