Extend IndexPage to avoid replicating nav logic #42

Closed askvortsov1 closed 4 years ago

askvortsov1 commented 4 years ago

As long as we override all the search related and view related methods (which we are doing), this might be cleaner?

I'm not in favor of this. Breaking changes will hit us even harder.

While not exactly the same we had a related issue recently. We extended the avatar upload controller for the watermark image upload in FoF Upload. A change of the constructor signature between beta 12 and beta 13 broke FoF Upload https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/upload/issues/214 We would have been better copying the whole code instead of extending the class.

Ideally Flarum should clarify which parts of the javascript/PHP constitutes the public API though. I personally don't think most core components should be listed as extendable outside of modals/alerts and the base component/page.

Alright, that definitely makes sense!
