Hello,
First of all I would like to thank you again for this excellent module and I really appreciate the hard work you put into it and maintaining it.

Is it possible to override some of drigg's functions using the template.php?
i want to override drigg_ui_article_menu() without changing the source module file?

This not very important so if it's complicated I can just edit the module file.

Thanks,
Nimi.

Hello:

The markup here isn't wrapped in a theme function, but that can be easily fixed. If you can give me a week or two, I'll move the markup to a function that can be overridden.

Hi,

some notes:

* There is no real point in changing functions into themes if they are very complicated. This is the case here.

* Drupal 6 deals with this in a ver ydifferent way

* Changing that function will break the theme

* The change should be aimed, in my opinion, at making sure the output of that function is easy to customise with CSS. I wouldn´t touch it.

But, I might well be wrong. What is it that you can't do with CSS *precisely*?

sorry for the delay. Had to format my computer...
I wanted to add another tab in the drigg_ui_article_menu(). In the end I've decided to do it though the module file.

Thanks.
Nimi.

Hi,

This is a theming thing. Adding a tab should be possible by changing the template, rather than the code.

My comments on the need of changing CSS rather than turning 150 line functions into theme_ functions stands _solid_...

Hi,

Closing this issue. Things should be done through CSS. drigg_ui's output is long, and takes a lot of processing. They are not actually theme functions.
