Replace the "function pl_pagination" in child-theme

[John Olsson+ 8]

Hi, I wonder how I can edit the function pl_pagination in  function.php located plugins > pl-platform > engine > lib without editing the core-file, that will be overwritten from time to time.

When I place the same code in my function.php located in my child theme, it just gets error.

What the practice here, to edit that function, I want to replace for ex. "Next Entries" and the arrow to something else.

This is what the original code looks like:

/**
 *
 *  Pagination Function
 *
 *  @package PageLines Platform 5
 *  @subpackage Functions Library
 *  @since 5
 *
 *  Single posts need to use next_post_link()
 *  Archives can use next_posts_link()
 *
 */
function pl_pagination() {

  if ( function_exists( 'wp_pagenavi' ) ) :
    wp_pagenavi();

  else :
      ?>
        <ul class="pl-pager page-nav-default fix">
          <?php
                if( is_single() && ! is_page() ) {
                  printf( '<li class="previous previous-entries">%s</li>', get_previous_post_link( '%link' ) );
                  printf( '<li class="next next-entries">%s</li>', get_next_post_link( '%link' ) );
                }
                else {
                  printf( '<li class="previous previous-entries">%s</li>', get_previous_posts_link( __( '&larr; Föregående','pl-platform' ) ) );
                  printf( '<li class="next next-entries">%s</li>', get_next_posts_link( __( 'Nästa &rarr;','pl-platform' ) ) );
                }
                ?>
        </ul>
      <?php
  endif;
}

// As a callback with nav args associated
function pl_menu_callback( $args ) {
    pl_menu_fallback( $args['menu_class'] );
}

function pl_menu_fallback( $class = '', $limit = 5 ) {

    $pages_out = pl_page_list( $limit );

    printf( '<ul class="%s">%s</ul>', $class, $pages_out );
}


function get_pl_nav_default( $args ) {

    $limit = ( isset( $args['limit'] ) ) ? $args['limit'] : 6;

    $pages_out = pl_page_list( $limit );

    return sprintf( '<ul class="%s">%s</ul>', $args['menu_class'], $pages_out );
}

Added a filter in next version, you'll be able to change the output easily.

Sounds really good, when and how will I be able to do that?

[John Olsson+ 8]

I've seen a filter is added in a version, but how do I use it then?

[John Olsson+ 8]

Please @Simon, really need this function work..?

[Simon 248]

The filter added was pl_pagination you havnt said what code you want to replace the navigation with.

[John Olsson+ 8]

The only thing I need changed is this, look for "CUSTUM-TEXT" in the code.. Everything else is OK!  

<?php
                if( is_single() && ! is_page() ) {
                  printf( '<li class="previous previous-entries">%s</li>', get_previous_post_link( '%link' ) );
                  printf( '<li class="next next-entries">%s</li>', get_next_post_link( '%link' ) );
                }
                else {
                  printf( '<li class="previous previous-entries">%s</li>', get_previous_posts_link( __( 'CUSTUM-TEXT','pl-platform' ) ) );
                  printf( '<li class="next next-entries">%s</li>', get_next_posts_link( __( 'CUSTUM-TEXT','pl-platform' ) ) );
                }
                ?>

Probably going to be easier to use a jQuery snippet for this case as you are only changing the link text.

Heres an example https://gist.github.com/Pross/3f14cfe630a11c0696e0517e75c57e26
