Custom smarty function

martin28

Hi Team,

I cloned custom theme which needs custom search. The cloned theme only have the default.master.tpl (no default.master.php).

Basically, I want to add custom search in the default.master.tpl & I found from library/SmartyPlugins/function.searchbox.php where if I add another function (ex. function.custom_searchbox.php) in the same directory & call it in default.master.tpl, it works. Now I want to move that new function.custom_searchbox.php in the theme directory & be able to call the custom function in the theme default.master.tpl. Is this possible?

I stumbled upon Gdn_Smarty_init_handler which I could not execute properly. Any hep will be appreciated.

TIA

That is already the answer! You have to add this method to your ThemeHooks file and maybe you need to clear the /cache/theme folder before your changes take effect.
