How to override MailAlerts module?

[Nelson Minica]

I am trying to override the hookNewOrder function from modules/mailalerts/mailalerts.php

 

I created override/modules/mailalerts/mailalerts.php

 

I've tried everything I could think of...

 

MailAlerts extends MailAlertsCore

newMailAlerts extends MailAlerts

MailAlerts extends MailAlerts

MailAlerts extends Module

 

All with no effect, can't find any errors. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

think I found a workaround, duplicating and renaming the module seems to work fine and will protect it from future updates

Version php : 1.6.1.19

override/modules/mailalerts/mailalerts.php

In your file, try it :

class MailAlertsOverride extends MailAlerts {
...

}
