Allow a theme to call a plugin's functions - michaellindahl - 2012-10-01
I am making a theme and have a plugin to add additional settings. The theme works without the plugin, the plugin just adds additional capabilities. I would rather not place plugin related functions inside the theme functions location. How can I call functions inside of the plugin/NAME/common_functions.php file inside of the Theme template.php? Sorry if there is an obvious answer, I thought I would find something in hooks but I didn't (new to developing for GetSimple).
Thanks!

once the plugin is activated and the common_functions.php file has been included as part of the plugin, all the functions are available to your theme.

I believe that is the case but it is not working. Do I need to do anything other than just putting the common_functions.php in the folder? Link it in NAME.php?
-NAME.php
-NAME/common_functions.php
UPDATE: Actually the problem may lie in the layout of common_functions.php, this is the skeleton of what I have:
Code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name:
Description:
Version:
Author:
Author URI:
*/
/**
* FunctionName
*/
function function_name() { return true; }
/**
* Another Function
*
*
* @return int
*/
function another_function($value) {
return $value * 1000;
}

Shouldn't they always be available ? I thought the template system wasn't initialized until after plugins are loaded.
You should be able to just call them.

in NAME.php make your you include the common_functions.php file. like this:
Code:
include GSPLUGINPATH.'/NAME/common_functions.php';Allow a theme to call a plugin's functions - michaellindahl - 2012-10-02

That's what I was thinking, however adding that gives me a "HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request". (The common_functions.php file is in plugins/NAME/common_functions.php) The permissions on it are rw-r--r-- (644). Changing to 755 didn't help.
UPDATE: I found that when outputting that include statement in the template.php file I got the following: /home/username/URL.com/plugins/NAME/common_functions.php. Removing the /home/username part removed the 500 error. But this now hard codes the location in. Also the template.php file still cannot call code inside common_functions.php
Update #3: Fixed it! Yay! Here is the published theme's forum post: http://get-simple.info/forum/post/31057/
