QUESTION How to use function from plugin in theme?

[vish93]

If you know the name of the plugin, you can ask about it in the Plugin's support thread, which you can usually find via a link on the Plugin's download page in Extend. Also, there's usually info on configuration on the plugin page and in the support thread.

First of all thank you very much for taking time to reply, I appreciate your aid. I had a look in hope but the plugin is a custom one and not listed there I believe, I have just in hope tried calling the function like such: myfunction(); directly in the theme template.php and it works, I just need to now figure out how I can extract the id that is being passed into the modal
