To me this just shows that there's a need for a site that has tutorials for people customizing thesis using openhook. As cool as it is to learn php or any language for that matter, things are definitely gravitating toward guis any way you slice it.

I agree completely with @Wynne !
Have there been any changes in this regard with the latest version of Thesis 1.7?
Thanks for this great site, btw :)

Interesting... I love openhook. Sure it's kind of lazy but it offers you little check boxes to turn things off and on. Chris Pearson should take cues from this and build it into Thesis, and then have it auto update the custom_functions file. Just my 2 cents.

That's kind of what I was thinking shortly after I tried it out—that it would become a crutch and I'd have trouble with functions later. If you have any questions about any functions you're working on, don't hesitate to send them along as well!

Your perspective is helpful. I initially learned how to code custom functions before OpenHook was available. For just adding simple html, I think OpenHook is fantastic. In fact, after I started using it I let myself forget how to do the custom functions (which is why I ended up on your site). Your example makes me slightly more willing to open up my custom functions again... Thanks.
