   I'm trying to output excerpts on the homepage instead of full posts. In order to do so, I've added the following to my functions.php:

   function childtheme_override_content_init() {
           global $thematic_content_length;
   
           $content = '';
           $thematic_content_length = '';
   
           if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
                   $content = 'excerpt';
           } elseif (is_single()) {
                   $content = 'full';
           } elseif (is_tag()) {
                   $content = 'excerpt';
           } elseif (is_search()) {
                   $content = 'excerpt';
           } elseif (is_category()) {
                   $content = 'excerpt';
           } elseif (is_author()) {
                   $content = 'excerpt';
           } elseif (is_archive()) {
                   $content = 'excerpt';
           }
   
           $thematic_content_length = apply_filters('thematic_content', $content);
   }

   (I just copied the contents of thematic_content_init(), and changed 'full' to 'excerpt')

   However, this has no effect, as if this function were never called. Any ideas?

   I had to use "childtheme_override_content()" anyway, so I ended up pasting

   if (!is_single()) $thematic_content_length = 'excerpt';

   As my first line. This works, but isn't clean. What is the purpose of thematic_content_init() if it isn't automatically called before thematic_content()?

   Are you sure the thematic_content_init function isn't being called? If so how? Trying to fix this problem too =]

   After working on this for quite a while, what was missing was you needed to add the action...

   add_action('thematic_abovepost','childtheme_override_content_init');

   I know it seems like you shouldn't have to do this because on line 801 the add_action function is called...

   add_action('thematic_abovepost','thematic_content_init');

   However this is INSIDE the elseif statment, and is only run if the child override function does not exist.

   While my fix works, I propose that the "add_action" line be moved outside of the closing brace.

   This was fixed in the latest svn.

   Hi, I've got the 0.9.7.7 Thematic from the wordpress.org website, and the add_action is still inside the elseif.

   he is talking about thematic 1.0, which is in the process of being reviewed for approval in the wordpress.org repo. I uploaded it here for you - it is essentially stable so you can use it safely http://seamlessthemes.com/resources/

   0.9.8 is the version i've been supporting which was available at:
   developing.thematic4you.com/thematic-development-release/

   admittedly a bit of a cluster$*&# that we had such an outdated version in the repo, but 1.0 is in the theme review queue.... (finally!)

   should have read more, i think 0.9.8 fixes that...soooo close to 1.0 though it might not even be worth using (unless it gets rejected lol).
