hi

i’m using bp 1.2 and wpmu 2.9.1.1

not quite sure if this possible..been looking around but still did not find a way..

i’m building a child theme from bp-default…for more variation of the first child theme..is there

a way to build a grandchild theme based on first child theme..

get_stylesheet_directory()
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
include (STYLESHEETPATH . '/SOME.PHP');

grand child theme cannot inherit function or template from first child theme parent (bp-default)

sample:

bp-default had function hitme()

child theme can inherit hitme() —- Template: bp-default (style.css)

grandchild theme cannot inherit hitme() — Template: child theme one (style.css)

i know we can always copy the function hitme() over to grandchild functions.php but i would prefer inherit method:)

any child theme expert want to chip in or share some thought…feel free:)

I am pretty sure that WP does not support this.

This is not possible.. If you want to add new functions simply make it a new child theme and if you want to switch looks integrate a style switches in the theme backend or frontend

The WordPress theme system loads all template files from either STYLESHEETPATH or TEMPLATEPATH locations.

ahhh..i thought so..

i was thinking of using absolute path in grandchild theme functions.php..inside functions.php are

include (BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php’);

include(ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/themes/child-theme-one/functions.php’);

<!– start grandchild theme extra function –>

adding some filter to function below to point to get_option(‘template’);

get_stylesheet_directory()
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()

all works well…but when dealing with define STYLESHEEPATH and TEMPLATEPATH.

i can’t add filter or apply filter since it is a define function and definately cannot redefine.

that’s where i know i hit rock bottom:)..and pull the white flag

the only solution will be

bp-default -> child-theme-one & child theme two with extra customize..so there 2 child theme with bp-default as parent..well this is doable in the first place:)

anyway..thanks for the input guys..cheers

yes..but it also limited to child theme only..not 2 level grandchild theme..well i think

you can’t expect much since even WP did not support grandchild theme yet..

thx
