And now here I am still stuck, haha. But at least I might have learned something regarding the whole plugin writing system / logic.

I came up with a new question, which I just posted in another thread, where it might fit quite well, I guess:

> [@Modify dashboard](https://kanboard.discourse.group/t/modify-dashboard/1440/20):

> Hey Creecros. I am new here and I have a similar problem. I am at a point where I seem to understand the setTemplateOverwrite method and logic. The post starter asked about override a controller and you answered with the template overriding logic. Just to be clear, since I am still learning the plugin logic etc.: template overriding cannot override controllers, right? Or am I missing something? E.g. would it be possible to override the app/Pagination/DashboardPagination.php with a plugin?

So I wonder if this might be the right way: to override the _DashboardPagination.php_ with a plugin … if it is possible at all. I am still trying out in the meantime.

Yet I am happy for any new replies and help here. Thanks, people! (=
