I have an extension that is using autoloader to import helpers.

Everything works well in localhost development environment but in the live server the classes are not loaded. I get the error "Fatal error: Class 'MYExtensionText' not found"

1) In components/com_myextension/myextension.php I have this code:

JLoader::import('MYExtension', __DIR__ . '/helpers');

2) In components/com_myextension/helpers/myextension.php I have this code:

JLoader::discover('MYExtension', __DIR__);
JLoader::registerPrefix('MYExtension', __DIR__);

3) So, I expect that this classes are autoloaded in components/com_myextension/helpers/

myextension.php / MYExtension 
text.php / MYExtensionText
model/list.php / MYExtensionModelList

This WORKS FINE in localhost (mamp with php 5.5) but does not work in the server, using CentOS 5 with php 5.4.

Any ideas?

  • Could you try adding var_dump(__DIR__); to components/com_myextension/myextension.php on both your localhost and live host. Would like to know if the results are the same

  • Hello Lodder I did it, the output is the absolute path to the file folder in both environments

  • Hmm, If the paths are exactly the same then I'm not sure what the issue could be. Could you possibly try replacing __DIR__ with JPATH_ROOT . '/components/com_myextension/helpers/'

  • Tried JPATH_COMPONENT . '/helpers' and neither works. No errors other than "Fatal error: Class 'MYExtensionText' not found"

I found the solution:

JLoader::import('myextension', JPATH_COMPONENT . '/helpers');

Please note the lower case!
