Hey Ian,
I'm currently working on a child theme, and was wondering how to go about overwriting the thematic_postfooter function.
This is what you have:
function thematic_postfooter() {
global $id, $post;
// Create $posteditlink
$posteditlink .= '<a href="' . get_bloginfo('wpurl') . '/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=' . $id;
$posteditlink .= '" title="' . __('Edit post', 'thematic') .'">';
$posteditlink .= __('Edit', 'thematic') . '</a>';
// Display the post categories
$postcategory = '<div class="entry-utility">';
$postcategory .= '<span class="cat-links">';
if (is_single()) {
$postcategory .= __('This entry was posted in ', 'thematic') . get_the_category_list(', ');
$postcategory .= '</span>';
} elseif ( is_category() && $cats_meow = sandbox_cats_meow(', ') ) { /* Returns categories other than the one queried */
$postcategory .= __('Also posted in ', 'thematic') . $cats_meow;
$postcategory .= '</span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span>';
} else {
$postcategory .= __('Posted in ', 'thematic') . get_the_category_list(', ');
$postcategory .= '</span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span>';
}
// Display the tags
if (is_single()) {
$tagtext = __(' and tagged', 'thematic');
$posttags = get_the_tag_list("<span class=\"tag-links\"> $tagtext ",', ','</span>');
} elseif ( is_tag() && $tag_ur_it = sandbox_tag_ur_it(', ') ) { /* Returns tags other than the one queried */
$posttags = '<span class="tag-links">' . __(' Also tagged ', 'thematic') . $tag_ur_it . '</span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span>';
} else {
$tagtext = __('Tagged', 'thematic');
$posttags = get_the_tag_list("<span class=\"tag-links\"> $tagtext ",', ','</span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span>');
}
// Display comments link and edit link
if (comments_open()) {
$postcommentnumber = get_comments_number();
if ($postcommentnumber > '1') {
$postcomments = ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . '#comments" title="' . __('Comment on ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '">';
$postcomments .= get_comments_number() . __(' Comments', 'thematic') . '</a>';
} elseif ($postcommentnumber == '1') {
$postcomments = ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . '#comments" title="' . __('Comment on ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '">';
$postcomments .= get_comments_number() . __(' Comment', 'thematic') . '</a>';
} elseif ($postcommentnumber == '0') {
$postcomments = ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . '#comments" title="' . __('Comment on ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '">';
$postcomments .= __('Leave a comment', 'thematic') . '</a>';
}
} else {
$postcomments = ' <span class="comments-link">' . __('Comments closed', 'thematic') .'</span>';
}
// Display edit link
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postcomments .= ' <span class="meta-sep">|</span> ' . $posteditlink;
}
// Display permalink, comments link, and RSS on single posts
$postconnect .= __('. Bookmark the ', 'thematic') . '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '">';
$postconnect .= __('permalink', 'thematic') . '</a>.';
if (('open' == $post-> comment_status) && ('open' == $post->ping_status)) { /* Comments are open */
$postconnect .= ' <a class="comment-link" href="#respond" title ="' . __('Post a comment', 'thematic') . '">' . __('Post a comment', 'thematic') . '</a>';
$postconnect .= __(' or leave a trackback: ', 'thematic');
$postconnect .= '<a class="trackback-link" href="' . trackback_url(FALSE) . '" title ="' . __('Trackback URL for your post', 'thematic') . '" rel="trackback">' . __('Trackback URL', 'thematic') . '</a>.';
} elseif (!('open' == $post-> comment_status) && ('open' == $post->ping_status)) { /* Only trackbacks are open */
$postconnect .= __(' Comments are closed, but you can leave a trackback: ', 'thematic');
$postconnect .= '<a class="trackback-link" href="' . trackback_url(FALSE) . '" title ="' . __('Trackback URL for your post', 'thematic') . '" rel="trackback">' . __('Trackback URL', 'thematic') . '</a>.';
} elseif (('open' == $post-> comment_status) && !('open' == $post->ping_status)) { /* Only comments open */
$postconnect .= __(' Trackbacks are closed, but you can ', 'thematic');
$postconnect .= '<a class="comment-link" href="#respond" title ="' . __('Post a comment', 'thematic') . '">' . __('post a comment', 'thematic') . '</a>.';
} elseif (!('open' == $post-> comment_status) && !('open' == $post->ping_status)) { /* Comments and trackbacks closed */
$postconnect .= __(' Both comments and trackbacks are currently closed.', 'thematic');
}
// Display edit link on single posts
if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
$postconnect .= ' ' . $posteditlink;
}
// Add it all up
if ($post->post_type == 'page' && current_user_can('edit_posts')) { /* For logged-in "page" search results */
$postfooter = '<div class="entry-utility">' . $posteditlink;
$postfooter .= "</div><!-- .entry-utility -->\n";
} elseif ($post->post_type == 'page') { /* For logged-out "page" search results */
$postfooter = '';
} else {
if (is_single()) {
$postfooter = $postcategory . $posttags . $postconnect;
} else {
$postfooter = $postcategory . $posttags . $postcomments;
}
$postfooter .= "</div><!-- .entry-utility -->\n";
}
// Put it on the screen
echo apply_filters( 'thematic_postfooter', $postfooter ); // Filter to override default post footer
}I would like to take this code, rewrite a few bits, and put it in my child theme's functions.php file. Will this cause a problem? Or will it simply overwrite what you have?
Thanks!
