getSharedInstance doesn't work on costum services

[mithazhe]

I have custom service:

public static function loggedinuser($getShared = true)
{
if ($getShared)
{
return self::getSharedInstance('loggedinuser');
}
return (new UsersModel())->getUserById(session('user_id'));
}

if I call it with $getShared = true, It doesn't work, show NULL with var_dump, if $getShared = false, It works, show the data.

However. I make sure that getSharedInstance doesn't work on custom services, by moving that function into \system\Config\Services.php. The result, that function works well with $getShared = true.

Hmm. I think the problem is parent class can't call child class method. getSharedInstance() can't call loggedinuser()

A couple of things;

First - these boards are not intended to be used to advice or problem solving. They are for feature planning and bugs.

Second - don't use a service for that. Just create a User class and instantiate that when you need it.
