Adding a hook

[gdub01 0]

I'm having trouble adding a hook. I installed the plugin 'vote it up' and it asks to submit this code into single.php or index.php: <?php DisplayVotes(get_the_ID()); ?> So I know that I want to add it as a hook to the base theme instead of modifying the platform pro theme. So I tried to follow the example documentation in functions.php in editing the platformbase theme and I wrote this: add_action('pagelines_before_postsinfo', 'DisplayVotes'); function DisplayVotes(get_the_ID()); ?> But I'm getting a parse error. Can you help me? Thanks, Gavin

The hook you created isn't written the correct way. Here is the correct format:

	//add_action('pagelines_branding_icons_end', 'add_icons_to_branding');
	
		// function name
		function add_icons_to_branding(){
	
			
	
		<?php }
		// end function[/code]

	
	This code you wrote: 

[code]function DisplayVotes(get_the_ID()); ?>

...must be replaced with:

function display_votes

Also, "DisplayVotes" in this code:

add_action('pagelines_before_postsinfo', 'DisplayVotes');

...must be replaced with

display_votes

Notice that the name of the function (display_votes) is the same in the top line and the fourth line (just like in the example at the top). Does that make sense?
