Normally the override functions should work without add_action. Unfortunately I had the add_action call inside the if-clause. We fixed a couple of these bugs in the latest SVN copies, but I'm not sure if we fixed this one.</p> <p>Chris </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/not-clear-how-childtheme_override-works#post-16876 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 16:13:28 +0000 helgatheviking 16876@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>actually if you take a look at the header-extensions.php file you will see exactly what happens w/ the override</p> <pre><code>// Open #branding // In the header div if (function_exists(&#39;childtheme_override_brandingopen&#39;)) { function thematic_brandingopen() { childtheme_override_brandingopen(); } } else { function thematic_brandingopen() { echo &quot;&lt;div id=\&quot;branding\&quot;&gt;\n&quot;; } add_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;thematic_brandingopen&#39;,1); }</code></pre> <p>look carefully, if childtheme_override_brandingopen exists then the action is NOT added to the thematic_header, hence you see nothing.</p> <p>i dont know that i agree w/ this behavior 100% but that's how it is. you need to add childtheme_override_brandingopen to the desired hook. try:</p> <pre><code>function childtheme_override_brandingopen(){ echo &quot;&lt;div id=&#39;branding&#39;&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;logo-container&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;social-links&#39;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;\n&quot;; } add_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;childtheme_override_brandingopen&#39;,1);</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/not-clear-how-childtheme_override-works#post-16872 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:37:04 +0000 antesark 16872@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Try..<br /> <code><br /> function childtheme_override_brandingopen() { ?&gt;<br /> &lt;div id="branding"&gt;&lt;div id="logo-container"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="social-links"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;?php }</p> <p>function childtheme_override_brandingclose() { ?&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #branding --&gt;<br /> &lt;?php }<br /> </code><br /> And remember not to use add_action. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/not-clear-how-childtheme_override-works#post-16871 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:48:52 +0000 mirko77 16871@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>That is exactly what I did.<br /> I created my child theme with its own function.php, but my override function does not work.</p> <p>I have other custom functions in my own function.php and they all work </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/not-clear-how-childtheme_override-works#post-16844 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 16:16:04 +0000 McSalty 16844@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>The override functions are meant so you don't have to modify the original thematic source files.</p> <p>Create a new child theme (there are guides for how to do this online). In your child them folder, create "functions.php". Within functions.php, paste your code</p> <pre><code>function childtheme_override_brandingopen(){ echo &quot;&lt;div id=\&quot;branding\&quot;&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;logo-container&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;social-links&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n&quot;; }</code></pre> <p>Now your child theme will automatically use this function instead of thematic's default. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/not-clear-how-childtheme_override-works#post-16842 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:51:42 +0000 mirko77 16842@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I want to add a couple of &lt;div&gt; containers in my child theme header, inside #branding.</p> <p>If I modify the function thematic_brandingopen() directly in header-extension.php it works flawlessly:</p> <pre><code>function thematic_brandingopen() { echo &quot;&lt;div id=\&quot;branding\&quot;&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;logo-container&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;social-links&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n&quot;; }</code></pre> <p>but if I create a childtheme_override_brandingopen() my whole #branding div container disappears...</p> <pre><code>function childtheme_override_brandingopen(){ echo &quot;&lt;div id=\&quot;branding\&quot;&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;logo-container&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&#39;social-links&#39;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;\n&quot;; }</code></pre> <p>I do not know why it does not work... </p>
