    text
    copied!<p>Hello I want to add one field to the edit customer form of magento. This field in functionality terms is just a trigger to do several things on my extension. I was trying to do it by overriding the class adding a field set to a new form object and then calling the parent init form. This does not work. I was wondering how to modify an object on the parent class. So far i have:</p> <pre><code> &lt;adminhtml&gt; &lt;rewrite&gt; &lt;customer_edit_tab_account&gt;Yougento_S2b_Block_Rewrite_Editcustomer&lt;/customer_edit_tab_account&gt; &lt;/rewrite&gt; &lt;/adminhtml&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is to set the rewrite, then my class (block/rewrite/editcustomer.php) is</p> <pre><code> class Namespace_Module_Block_Rewrite_Editcustomer extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Customer_Edit_Tab_Account { public function initForm() { $form = new Varien_Data_Form(); $fieldset = $form-&gt;addFieldset('new_fieldset', array('legend'=&gt;Mage::helper('customer')-&gt;__('Extra options')) ); $fieldset-&gt;addField('newattr', 'text', array( 'label' =&gt; Mage::helper('customer')-&gt;__('Select type'), 'class' =&gt; 'input-text', 'name' =&gt; 'newattr', 'required' =&gt; false ) ); $this-&gt;setForm($form); return parent::initForm(); } } </code></pre> <p>My code is executed, but i guess that when i call the parent the new form object replaces the new one instead of extending it. This may be more of a php question but i thought i would specify its for magento</p>
