Moving a Magento Block from Two Different Modules

Hi, I have some problems redefining the main magento block. In my module I need to override Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation

<blocks> <catalog> <rewrite> <navigation>Mycompany_Mymodule_Catalog_Block_Navigation</navigation> </rewrite> </catalog> </blocks>

but this is already overridden by another magento extension from another company:

 <blocks> <catalog> <rewrite> <navigation>Othercompany_Othermodule_Block_Navigation</navigation> </rewrite> </catalog> </blocks>

Both extensions override different methods and they do not know each other, but magento reads the second redefining company, not mine. I do not want to use module dependencies. Is there a way to not violate the two extension functions.

Yes, you need to decide which one officially overwrites the main unit. Let this inherit the one that does not override, and inherit its main one.

 My_Custom_Block extends Other_Custom_Block Other_Custom_Block extends Mage_Core_Block Mage_Core_Block extends Whatever_Magento_Wants

Modify the config.xml files so that only My_Custom_Block is the one that overlaps the main block.

EDIT XML is needed here:

 <blocks> <catalog> <rewrite> <navigation>Mycompany_Mymodule_Catalog_Block_Navigation</navigation> </rewrite> </catalog> </blocks>

thanks max. I think, as your example, that "My_Custom_Block" should be the last hierarchical class, so you don’t touch anything in the class "Other_Custom_Block".

Then you only need to comment on the rewrite rule in the config.xml of another company.
