Overwriting autonav view.php in a package

Permalink
I am trying to overwrite view.php found in the 
concrete/blocks/autonav/view.php
directory.

It was my understanding that in my package I could add my own tweak of view.php file in 
packages/my_package/blocks/autonav/view.php
but this does not seem to be the case.

I just want to overwrite the "selected" class from "nav-selected" to "active".

I don't want to edit the file in the concrete directory as some blog posts have suggested as this would break the site on updates and render my "theme" useless.

I am trying to change this as I am working with the "Header Nav" area.

This seems like it should be very trivial.

Thanks in advance.

The only documentation I can find that kind of helps you says you should do your overwrite in the 
blocks/autonav
folder.

This does not help you though if you are trying to create a package. I would be interested to know the answer to this one as well.

Thanks for reply.

Is this not possible?

From the lack of response I guess what I wanted to do is not possible. For newbies with a similar problem I had to use a custom template, calling it with the following code:

<?php  
    $bt_nav = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav');
    $bt_nav->controller->displayPages = 'top';
    $bt_nav->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc';
    $bt_nav->controller->displaySubPages = 'none';
    $bt_nav->render('templates/navbar');
?>
