Override Statamic 6 EntriesPublishForm

[juliuskiekbusch]

I know this sounds stupid. But what I want to achieve is adding a button / section / etc. on all EntryPublishForms.vue Components.
This should happen without needing to configure anything inside the collections or blueprints.

So in Statamic v5 I could update the blade-file, but this is not good in Statamic v6, as I want the Inertia speed.

So my thought process was:

Statamic.component('EntryPublishForm', CustomEntryPublishForm);

Which is basically a copy of the original EntryPublishForm with an additional button / section / etc. (which I of course would need to maintain if the file changes in statamic/cms).

The Problem:

The Statamic components get registered last directly before the Vue-App is mounted.

Any ideas how I could still override the EntryPublishForm? Or would I need a Hook in Statamic which runs after the statamic components are registered?

Unfortunately, you can't override Statamic's components.

What are you looking for the button to do? Maybe there's another way to do what you're after.

Thanks for the help @duncanmcclean.
Basically I want to prototype an Entry Change History (which also uses the revisions table), but without actually activating revisions on the whole collection:
statamic/ideas#1416

We also sometimes display additional information which is dynamically calculated, but is not saved to the entry itself.

To place them at specific locations, I would need to override the EntryPublishForm.

If that is not possible, my second Idea was to create fieldtypes to show this information in the sidebar alternatively.

So the ChangeHistoryFieldtype would shows revisions, and adds an action which can restore the revision server side.
And and InfoFieldtype, which would display something custom for the entry without computed properties on the collection.

I'd probably go with a custom fieldtype in that case and place the field in the sidebar 👍
