[PS1.7] Override Private Class in a module

[Jurist]

Hello,

How do I properly override core Customer.php class and it's

private function create(Customer $customer, $clearTextPassword)

I want to make the password to be automatically generated if empty. I am able to do that without any issues but I have to edit the core class.

I am sure this is not the right approach, is the same possible through the module or override?

I can create and then publish that module if someone gives me a tip on how this should be done the proper way.

Thanks

Override the previous function (which should be public) who calls this function and generate a random password.

Okay thanks @joseantgv, I will work on it and post if there are any results.

I will try to find a function that executes Customer class but lets see.

It's not necessary to override any function, you can use actionObjectCustomerAddBefore hook.

Thanks Jose. 

I think that will be the proper solution.

I will try to write a plugin and post it here as promised soon.
