  I understand the performance issues involving searching several paths for the existence of pnRender plugins, but is there any way to override a system (or core) plugin?
  
  I tried copying function.pnimg.php to config/plugins, but the following bit from pnRender.class.php will never allow it to execute because it's found in the system/pnRender path:
  
  

  Code

  // plugin paths are ordered so that we find the vast majority of plugins with as few path
          // searches as possible
          $pluginpaths = array('system/pnRender/plugins',
                               'system/Theme/plugins',
                               'config/plugins',
                               "themes/$theme/templates/modules/$module/plugins",
                               "themes/$theme/plugins",
                               "$modpath/" . $this->module[$module]['directory'] ."/pntemplates/plugins");

  
  
  Back in the PN days, I had to edit the version in pnRender directly.

  You're right, there's no way to override it, but if you want to do it, change the order of the paths for your site. Generally speaking to change this in the Core has a big impact looking always on config/plugins...

  I'll probably just port over my mods within function.pnimg and leave the path ordering alone for the remaining plugins. Thanks for the confirmation, though.

  Just for completeness of this thread, I had planned to use config/images as a common location for images shared among several similar themes along with a modified pnRender/plugins/function.pnimg.php.
  
  The system won't let the browser access files in that location directly (see config/.htaccess), so I created a common area in the themes directory and will add a custom plugin to config/plugins to give me back the correct path.
  
  Hope this helps.
