Need help correcting functions.php

[danpo 0]

I am using platform base and i was playing around with functions.php and crashed everything. I need help reconfiguring. Below is what i have now. Am i missing anything? Thanks <?php /* THEME INITIALIZATION This file loads the core framework for Platform which handles everything. This theme copyright © 2008-2010 PageLines */ require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . "/includes/core.init.php");

That's the core theme's functions.php file, not the base child one. If you're looking for platformbase's functions.php, I would just get a clean copy from the original platformbase.zip archive.

Is platformbase still available for download in your launchpad page? http://www.pagelines.com/launchpad/member.php

Tim. Can you figure out what is missing? Thank you very much. <?php /* THEME INITIALIZATION This file loads the core framework for Platform which handles everything. This theme copyright © 2008-2010 PageLines */ require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . "/includes/core.init.php");

A lot is missing.. as I said, that's the core theme's functions file. This is base's functions.php.. no guarantees that it's the same version as yours..... ` <?php // Setup -- Probably want to keep this stuff... // Set up action for section registration... add_action('pagelines_register_sections', 'base_sections'); /* Hello! First, lets load the PageLines core so we have access to the functions */ if ( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . '/core/core.init.php' ) ) require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/core/core.init.php'); else add_action( 'template_redirect', create_function( '', 'echo "

Unable to locate the main PlatFormPro theme files! These should be in wp-content/themes/platformpro

";' ) ); // For advanced customization tips & code see advanced file. //--> require_once(STYLESHEETPATH . "/advanced.php"); // ==================================================== // = BASE FUNCTIONS - Where you should add your code = // ==================================================== // ADDING CUSTOM SECTIONS ------- // // Register a Drag&Drop HTML Section for the admin. // A pullquote section was created here for demonstration purposes // Sections should be named: section.[your section name].php and placed in the sections folder. function base_sections(){ /* Your custom sections get registered in here... PageLines Register Section Arguments: 1. Section Class Name, 2. Directory name (or filename if in root of 'sections' folder), 3. Init Filename (if different from directory name), 4. Section setup and variable array */ pagelines_register_section('BasePullQuote', 'pullquote', null, array('child' => true) ); pagelines_register_section('BaseSidebar','sb_base', null, array('child' => true) ); } // ABOUT HOOKS --------// // Hooks are a way to easily add custom functions and content to the Platform theme. There are hooks placed strategically throughout the theme // so that you insert code and content with ease. // HOOKS EXAMPLE --------// // Below is an example of how you would add a social media icon to the icons in header (branding section) // We have placed a hook at the end of the icon set specifically add new icons without modifying code or having to worry about your edits // getting thrown out during the upgrade process. The way to use hooks goes a little like this: // add_action('hook_name','function name'); // ---> uncomment to load //add_action('pagelines_branding_icons_end', 'add_icons_to_branding'); // function name function add_icons_to_branding(){ // This hook adds a stumbleupon icon to the header of your theme. The class referenced in the link can be seen in the style.css // and is the image from the CSS is placed in the images folder ?> <?php } // end function // ABOUT FILTERS ----------// // Filters allow data modification on-the-fly. Which means you can change something after it was read and compiled from the database, // but before it is shown to your visitor. Or, you can modify something a visitor sent to your database, before it is actually written there. // FILTERS EXAMPLE ---------// // The following filter will add the font Ubuntu into the font array $thefoundry. // This makes the font available to the framework and the user via the admin panel. add_filter ( 'pagelines_foundry', 'my_google_font' ); function my_google_font( $thefoundry ) { $myfont = array( 'Ubuntu' => array( 'name' => 'Ubuntu', 'family' => '"Ubuntu", arial, serif', 'web_safe' => true, 'google' => true, 'monospace' => false ) ); return array_merge( $thefoundry, $myfont ); } // ADDING NEW TEMPLATES --------// // Want another page template for drag and drop? Easy // 1. Add File called page.[page-id].php to Base // 2. Add /* Template Name: Your Page Name */ and Call to 'setup_pagelines_template();' to that file (see page.base.php) // 3. Add 'pagelines_add_page('[page-id]', '[Page Name]');' to this functions.php file // Add Base Page if ( function_exists( 'pagelines_add_page' ) ) pagelines_add_page('base', 'Custom Page'); // OVERRIDE SECTION TEMPLATES --------// // Want more customization control over any of the core section templates in PlatformPro? Just override the template file. // To do that, just add a file called template.[section-id].php to this child theme and it will override the section templates // for the section with that ID. For example, template.boxes.php will override the boxes templates. // Once overridden you can copy the code from that section, paste it there and edit to your heart's content. `

Tim> I tried your post but it didnt work. I am under Theme Functions (functions.php) is there any way you can help. thanks again

Are you trying to use Appearance > Editor? That's not going to work if your site crashed from a faulty functions.php.

yes exactly. any solutions.

You will need to use ftp to upload the file, or your host's cpanel or something.

how do i access the file through ftp.? where to i go to?

[timlinson 3]

You will need to google about ftp clients.. there are many tutorials about using ftp clients. Your hosting provider should also have info about using their admin panel if you wanted to use that instead.
