Summary	0000542: make autoloader configurable
Description	A very nice feature would be to have the possibility to configure the autoloader, which could easily be done by reading the array of the included class-dirs from a config-variable. This would give you the possibility to implement your own subdirectories and get a more cleare structure of your own extensions (e. g. of core- and view-classes or own tools placed in subfolders in the shop directory).

So it should work before oxConfig or database connection is initialised. And normally config options are stored in the database.

andreas_ziethen 2009-01-29 17:13 reporter ~0000409	Hi Tomas, take a closer look at oxfunctions: oxConfig::getInstance() is actualy already used inside the autoloader - so it seems to be present, doesn't ist? ;-) On the other hand - the easiest way to implement it would be to put a if( !function_exists('__autoload')) { ... } around it - but I am not sure it this works with magic functions .. - I never tried that. cheers Andreas

But yes, this config option could be used for later classes anyway. Or module subdirs could be detected automatically. Just I would suggest to treat this request more as a feature request not as a bug ;)
