Hello,
Sort of off the topic here, but what if I have 3 things on the same hook…how to I determine the order in which they appear? I want them all there, but I want them in a certain order and they are not defaulting to the way I want them.

Any insight would be great. Thanks…Jeb

Just bought Thesis for a few days and still looking around for a useful hints on hooks and functions for a newbie cum non-technical guy like me.

Thankfully I’ve managed to discover your site, SURESH. A simple yet meaningful guidance for me to start loving my thesis and make it worth every penny I’ve spent!

John, I use Thesis for websites also (example: http://noonetime.com/) … I think what you are doing with CSS is perfectly legit… my thoughts is do what works and what is elegant, however the most powerful feature of thesis is its hooks. I think the more you use it, the more you will see.

I’m just starting to use Thesis for a new website — nothing much there yet, structure not even finished.
I have never built an entire site with WP so this is really interesting and a challenge to my 65 year old brain.
While I can see the advantage of Hooks in many instances and have already used some simple hooks, I can’t understand why using them to change the header image is more advantageous than a simple .custom #header.
All I did was added this to the custom.css
.custom #header {
height:200px;
padding-top:0;
padding-bottom:0;
background:url(images/layout/banner.png) center left no-repeat;
border-width:0;
}
While it’s probably not as sophisticated as hooks, I felt like it was much safer for someone who knows virtually nothing about php.
Am I missing something? Thanks for your time

hai saif,

don’t try to hack the core of the theme while upgrading it may cause problem. Add your code instead of comments.php file use in custom_function.php with help of hooks. for your keyboard layout use the hook thesis_hook_after_comment_box.
it will work…
