What is OpenHook? In short, OpenHook is a WordPress plugin; in other words, if you’ve installed and activated WordPress plugins in the past, OpenHook shouldn’t be a challenge.
The longer, more relevant explanation is that OpenHook provides a bridge between you & the inner workings of Thesis. What do I mean by that? Check this:
Most WordPress themes require you to edit the actual theme files — or create child themes — to customize your site. That’s a hassle, especially when it comes to upgrading.
Thesis simplifies the task of customization by trimming the process down to just one file, custom_functions.php, which we’ve all grown to know and love. However, even that requires several steps, including manipulating the file and somehow uploading it back to your server. What a pain!
Features
- Complete access to all of Thesis’ hooks, within which can be added your own XHTML, PHP, or JavaScript.
- Access to two standard WordPress hooks (
wp_head()andwp_footer()). - Ability to remove many actions added by default to the hooks — either to just get rid of ‘em or to move ‘em elsewhere.
- Ability to easily add a few elements to your site, including debug information in the footer.
- Advanced: Directly modify the
custom.cssandcustom_functions.phpfrom within your administration panel. No more file transfer hassles!
Requirements
The basic features require requirements are pretty obvious: a WordPress installation (version 2.7 or newer) which is using the Thesis theme (version 1.5 or newer).
The advanced features — namely the editing of custom.css and custom_functions.php — require that those files be writable by the server. While on some servers you may not have to do anything for file editing to work, on others you may need to change the permissions of these files to “666″ (or “0666″) so that the server can modify them.
