Please, apologize if it's not the good mailing list to ask this question. I have developped an extension of bureaucracy. It's a new action named "mysql" which allows to read/write the content of the form's fields from/into a mysql database. I have written a "mysql.php" file '(located into bureaucracy/actions/) which contains a new class: a class syntax_plugin_bureaucracy_action_mysql extends syntax_plugin_bureaucracy_action { ... etc } But also I have to sligthly modify the render function of the aleady existing render function located into the bureaucracy/syntax.php" file. However I know that I do not modify the original "syntax.php" file of bureacracy. So I want that when the "mysql" action is used it is my own render function which i called instead the original render function (and my render function needs to acces to the variables of the original render function of bureaucracy) . How can I do that ? Thanks for your help Jacques
