Make it possible to extend both the html and feed views

[roland-d]

Extensions in Joomla can have a view.html.php file but also a view.feed.php file in their view folder. Currently you can only extend the view.html.php file and not the view.feed.php as the class extender creates a ProductViewProductExtensionBase.php file in my case. This is the product view of HikaShop.

There is no base file available for the feed view.

Did you add an appropriate route for both formats?

Mmm... I guess that still does not work, unless we make provisions for two different classes for the extended class in the original location.

[roland-d]

The latter is indeed the problem, they have the exact same class name which creates the same basefile.

[pjdevries]

So what would be the best approach: create sub folders named the same as the config route.name or add the route.name to the ExtensionBase, i.e. ProductViewProductHtmlExtensionBase.php and ProductViewProductFeedExtensionBase.php in your particular case?

[roland-d]

As discussed, the preferred approach is to use sub folders.
