Joomla 3.4: Cannot redeclare class MailtoController

[hfittipaldi]

In Joomla 3.4 on 'Send email to a friend' receiving the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class MailtoController in /components/com_mailto/controller.php on line 163

On my code/com_mailto/controller.php:

class MailtoController extends JControllerLegacy
{
    function mailto() { ... }
    function send() { ... }
}

Hello,
with Make extendable and Change functions on Yes, try to change the name of your class.
Like :
class DefaultMailtoController extends JControllerLegacy

And modify your functions to your wishes as well, as it is the goal here.
Let me know if it works.

Hi there,

I came across the same problem. I am trying to override the Mailto controller. I have installed the plugging and followed your advice ghazal to rename the class to:
class DefaultMailtoController extends JControllerLegacy
That did not work, it is just ignored and the original controller is in use. Any other suggestions?
