How to extend an addon's db.xml without editing master files?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi
I have a addon that I purchased and want to extend.
It uses a couple of db.xml files to specify the tables used.
I want to add my own additional data fields to this addon without changing the core so that it will be easy to keep up to date (and just seems like the "right way" to do it) but it doesn't seem that I can extend the db.xml file locally. The addon always refers to the version in the packages folder if I refresh the addon or whatever.
Maybe I am going this wrong? Can anybody assist?
Thanks!

Ideally you could do what you want by adding events to the package and then using the data passed to make your won table.
