How to move custom components to custom skin folder?

[stefahn]

I have custom components that are located in the folder skins\chameleon\src\Components. When I update Chameleon those components get lost.

Therefore I would like to move them to skins\myskin\. How can I tell Chameleon to look for components in that folder - do I have to change the Namespace Skins\Chameleon\Components; ?

Add these lines to composer.local.json

        "autoload"   : {
               "classmap": ["skins/myskin/components"]
               }

And run composer update
It will add the folder to the list of folders that will be searched for Chameleon components and other classes.

Thanks a lot. That worked fine. I think we should add that to the documentation.

Should this still work in Chameleon 4.3.0?

In my case my custom components weren't recognized in my custom skin folder. I had to move them to skins/chameleon/src/Components to be recognized and to avoid a fatal error.

Sorry, for some reason it worked now after running composer update --no-dev
