  actually i think i'm wrong.
  
  Also i think this is not a fuel question. I tried to to extend the core->config.php file to overwrite the load(); function. But it wont recognize it.

  ok.. i've found it.
  
  i changed the third_party->mX->config.php from:
  
  class MX_Config extends CI_Config
  
  to:
  
  class MX_Config extends MY_Config.
  
  --
  
  when i create a controller in application->controller-> eg. welcome.php
  and i want to call it (http://www.site.com/welcome), an error will thrown:
  
  "The configuration file fuel.php does not exist."
  
  after a little bit playing around with my error handler, i realized, fuel cms is searching the fuel.php in:
  
  "fuel/application/config/fuel.php"
  
  why is that?

  ok. next step.
  
  now it works, i needed to set $config['enable_hooks'] to FALSE;
  
  if i enable hooks, i cant create a own controller. is this possible?

  What happens if you try extending it similar to how fuel/application/core/MY_Loader.php where you require your third party config or you could try adding it to the application/core directory but have your class extend MX_Config (not MX_Config extend your class). The MX_Config has modular separation code in it and is needed by FUEL, so make sure that is not altered.
  
  Also, FUEL needs the hooks set to TRUE because it uses a couple of them.

  hey admin,
  
  thank you for your response.
  i can't extend my_config in application/core to mx_config.
  
  but i can create - like you said - a config.php in third_party/fuel:
  
  require_once(APPPATH.'third_party/MX/Config.php');
  class Fuel_Config extends MX_Config{}
  
  --
  
  and then in application/core:
  
  require APPPATH."third_party/fuel/Config.php";
  class MY_Config extends Fuel_Config{
  
  // in this class i overwrite the load function()
  }
  --
  
  
  but with that i'll overwrite the load function from mx ->actually very bad

  If i enable the hooks and create a controller (like site.com/myPage), fuel try to load the fuel config file the common way (application/config/fuel.php) - do you have any clue about that?

  Could it be due to the configs load method being overwritten? You may need to merge your changes on top of what the MX_Config has. I had to do a similar thing with the MX classes to include some additional changes (e.g. the Loader class example above).

  okay. i guess that's not possible. i only can extend the mx_config itself (Like your module_load) function (instead of parent::load i could do $this->loadCoreConfig).
  
  anyway. my real problem - missing fuel.php config file, when i try to create a page with a controller - is still present.
  
  if i remove the pre_controller() hook, my controller page will be loaded perfectly.
  still searching...
