I want to take the HybridAuth library on sourceforge.net and turn it into a Yii extension. However, the library does not follow Yii standards. For example, a class named Hybrid_Auth is located in a file named Auth.php.

I really don't want to modify the source so it can easily be updated later. If I try to instantiate a Hybrid_Auth object, it will look for a file called HyBrid_Auth.php, which doesn't exist. How could I get Yii to look in the Auth.php file for the Hybrid_Auth class? Thanks.

you can make it a component in yii
all you need to do is the insert it in your components array inside the config/main.php file
the most important array key is the "class" which it value will be the path to the auth.php file

     components=>array(
         .............
      'Auth' =>array (
                  'class'=>'..//Auth.php'  #put the dir of your extension
                  //you can also define use variables inside this array
  

now in your code (model, controllers) you can have this

 
     Yii::app()->Auth

Did you ever make it anywhere with this one? I've been following the HybridAuth library for a while...very interested in hearing what you ended up doing.
