Where to place my hacked code?

If it is a hack, you’ll have to create an empty my-hacks.php file, paste your hacks, then enable hacks in the admin options of WP. If it’s a plugin, you simply drop the file in the wp-content/plugins folder (assuming you are using WP 1.2).

How does the my-hacks.php work? Say I modified one function in wp-includes>links.php
Thank you.

Ok here’s partly an answer: https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/index.php/my-hacks.php
But how about that function I modified in links.php
It can be sure overwritten when I upload a new version of WP.
How do I place that in my-hacks.php?

A good way to do this is to simply turn your hack into a plugin, very little actually needs to be done for this to work. It pretty much involves adding the proper commenting to the top of your “hack.”
As a plugin you will also not need to include the ‘wp-blog-header.php” in your code.
Prara, with your modified link code, in order to avoid having the issue of losing it when you upgrade. Just give it a different name such as “prara_links()” and put it in your own custom Plugin file. Then you will always have it.
Take a quick look at the source to some of the existing 1.2 Plugins and you will see just how easy it is to turn your hacks into plugins.
Have Fun! ??

unoamigo, I was wondering if you could write a quick and dirty (or clean and detailed) “How to write a plugin” if you are familiar with the scheme of things. That’s a doc that will be useful that’s missing right now. ??

Well, I’d be happy too, but it will have to wait till Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s kindove finals week here and a paper is due Monday at 5PM, test on tuesday, presentation on Thursday.
Yeah, I have a pretty slack finals week, but I should at least take Monday and half of Tuesday seriously. ??
I’m reasonably familiar with it (WP 1.2 Stats), although I have a hunch that there are probably a few cool things I don’t know about yet.
