Overriding Functions

Certain functions within the PeoplePods core libraries can be overridden using theplugin registerMethod method. The functions that can be overridden are those that are frequently called from within other built in methods, such as methods dealing with the cache, templating system, email delivery, and generation of permalinks.

To override a function, create a new function which matches the original functions parameter list, and then call registerMethod. The new function will then be called in place of the built in function.

function personCustomPermalink($person,$field) {
    $person->permalink =  'http://myothersite.com/profiles/' . $person->stub;
}
Person::registerMethod('personCustomPermalink','generatePermalink');

The full list of override-able functions is below.
