Child theme use via subdirectories?

Hi Jeff,

I am looking for an andwer to the same question. Have you figured this out?

Thanks,
Karthik

Try looking at how these widgets are registered via functions.php and overwrite this function in your child theme.

Thanks for the reply.

My functions.php has the following

require_once (/includes/theme-widgets.php'); // Theme widgets

and the /includes/theme-widgets.php file references

include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/widgets/widget-woo-social.php' );

And I am trying to make a change in the widget-woo-social.php file’s content. (A PHP class to be exact)

Thanks in advance.

Are either of those 2 lines within a function hooked to an action?

Actually no. Here is the functions.php in its entirety

<?php
// Set path to WooFramework and theme specific functions
$functions_path = TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions/';
$includes_path = TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/';

require_once ($functions_path . 'admin-init.php');			// Framework Init

// Theme specific functionality
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-options.php'); 		// Options panel settings and custom settings
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-functions.php'); 		// Custom theme functions
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-plugins.php');		// Theme specific plugins integrated in a theme
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-actions.php');		// Theme actions & user defined hooks
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-comments.php'); 		// Custom comments/pingback loop
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-js.php');				// Load javascript in wp_head
require_once ($includes_path . 'sidebar-init.php');			// Initialize widgetized areas
require_once ($includes_path . 'theme-widgets.php');		// Theme widgets
?>

and the theme-widgets.php here

<?php
include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/widgets/widget-woo-social.php' );
?>

and I am trying to make a change in function widget in widget-woo-social.php file

<?php
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Address Widget */
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
class WP_Widget_Social extends WP_Widget {

	function WP_Widget_Social() {
		$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'widget_social', 'description' => __('Add social links in your sidebar'));
		$this->WP_Widget('woo_social', __('Woo - Social'), $widget_ops);
	}

	function widget( $args, $instance ) {
		extract($args);
		$title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', empty($instance['title']) ? '' : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base);

		$facebook = apply_filters( 'widget_facebook', $instance['facebook'], $instance );
		$twitter = apply_filters( 'widget_twitter', $instance['twitter'], $instance );
		$flickr = apply_filters( 'widget_flickr', $instance['flickr'], $instance );
		$youtube = apply_filters( 'widget_facebook', $instance['youtube'], $instance );

		echo $before_widget;
		if ( !empty( $title ) ) { echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; } ?>

			<div class="socialwidget">
			<?php if ( !empty( $facebook ) ) { echo '<a href="'.$facebook.'" class="ico-facebook">'.__('Facebook','woothemes') . '</a>'; } ?>
			<?php if ( !empty( $twitter ) ) { echo '<a href="'.$twitter.'" class="ico-twitter">'.__('Twitter','woothemes') . '</a>'; } ?>
			<?php if ( !empty( $flickr ) ) { echo '<a href="'.$flickr.'" class="ico-flickr">'.__('LinkedIn','woothemes') . '</a>'; } ?>
			<?php if ( !empty( $youtube ) ) { echo '<a href="'.$youtube.'" class="ico-youtube">'.__('Youtube','woothemes') . '</a>'; } ?>
			<div class="clear"></div>
			</div>

		<?php
		echo $after_widget;
	}
......
......
......
?>

Oh dear. It’s really not very child theme friendly at all. I really don’t know what to suggest other than porting the functions.php over.
