hikashopController is not extending hikashopBridgeController anymore

-- HikaShop version -- : 6.6.0
-- Joomla version -- : 6.1.3
-- PHP version -- : 8.4

It looks like since about v6.5.2 the hikashopController is not extending the hikashopBridgeController class.

We use custom hikashopBridgeController class to apply own code, but it doesn't work after update from 6.5.0.

See /administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php:

In v6.5.0 it was:

Can we expect the return to original behavior in the next version?

Note that this block should be before hikashopController class declaration:

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. As this is an internal class, we didn't think anyone would be using it and as we were only using it for compatibility between different versions of Joomla and we drop the support for older versions we had no use for it anymore.

I've made the necessary changes on our end. It doesn't cost us anything anyways. You can download again the install package of the 6.6.0 on our website in order to get the modified version.

Many thanks, this proxy class is really useful to provide advanced customization.
