Child Theme and functions.php

Hi akacruiseman

first read the functions.php of child theme, and then read the functions.php of parent theme.

php functions and variables of the parent theme, has been described in the pluggable.

for example

write your child themes functions.php

if you overwrite function raindrops_posted_on()

function raindrops_posted_on() {

 echo 'Your message';
}

Of course, You can use the filter

add_filter( 'raindrops_posted_on', 'my_posted_on' );
function my_posted_on( $posted_on_html ) {

 return 'Your message 2';

 //return $posted_on_html;
}

both same result.

If you change default settings of parent functions vars.

add_action( 'raindrops_last','my_custom_settings' );

function my_custom_settings(){
 global $your_var;
  $your_var = 'your value';
}

Since I believe that important customization of from child theme, if you have any problem, please tell me.

Thank you.
