Hi Ryan,

is "...I've defined  the new file in my ext_localconf.php..." similar to

"The next thing is to configure TYPO3 to include this class file as well 
after the original file tslib/class.tslib_content.php:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["FE"]["XCLASS"]["tslib/class.tslib_content.php"]=
PATH_typo3conf."class.ux_tslib_content.php";
So when the file “tslib/class.tslib_content.php” is included inside of 
class.tslib_pagegen.php, the extension class is included
immediately from inside the “tslib/class.tslib_content.php” file (this 
is from the bottom of the file):
if (defined("TYPO3_MODE") && 
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS[TYPO3_MODE]["XCLASS"]["tslib/class.tslib_content.php"]) {
include_once($TYPO3_CONF_VARS[TYPO3_MODE]["XCLASS"]["tslib/class.tslib_content.php"]);
}
"? s. COREAPI page 52 or search for XCLASS?

Regs. Petere.
