Hi - I'm trying to get this override to work. Just wanting the edit link, but code below seems to remove everything including the link.
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postconnect .= ' ' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
}
}Appreciate any tips
try removing the period just before the equal sign
$postconnect = ' ' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();typically that means 'add this to the end' but you usually have to start w/ a simple =

Thanks Helga - had tried that with no change.
On a hunch I added the apply filters line and it actually worked (with or without the period) which was unexpected as I was under the impression that this wasn't necessary with an override:
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {// Display edit link on single posts
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postconnect .= ' ' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
}
return apply_filters('thematic_postfooter_postconnect',$postconnect);
}Is that standard procedure or is something amiss elsewhere?
hmmm... could be one that got missed. not sure if that is correct or not.

I think the part you're missing in the first example is the "return", to actually get your variable out of the function. I can't test it at the moment, but if all you want is the Edit link, this should work too:
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
}
}good point kwight. you have to return something or echo something, though i think returning is better here b/c the postfooter_postconnect is echoed out by a different function... thematic_postfooter
function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {// Display edit link on single posts
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postconnect = ' ' . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();
}
return $postconnect;
}should work?

Yes, that works Helga. Great stuff. Thank you both for your help.
