Symphony.

I'm developing the SelectBox Link Field Combo and I have a problem regarding superclass method calling.

As Nils suggested, to avoid code duplication, I'm extending the existent fieldSelectBox_Link class:

Class fieldSelectBox_Link_Combo extends fieldSelectBox_Link{

so the type hierarchy will be

Field -> fieldSelectBox_Link -> fieldSelectBox_Link_Combo

The problem is in displaySettingsPanel method from my class. I need to call the displaySettingsPanel from Field class to initialize the settings container or I end up with something like this (see attachments). Do you have any suggestions?

As far as I know, parent will only work for ... parent :)

Thank you.

The following sounds similiar to your problem, might be worth a check: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1557608/how-do-i-get-a-php-class-constructor-to-call-its-parents-parents-constructor

Field::displaySettingsPanel should work

Thanks, eKoeS and brendo. Brendo's solution did the trick. I didn't know that.
