Editing files using child theme?

Hi srs6270!

Thank you for using the theme.

Why exactly do you want to edit the breadcrumbs? If I am not mistaken, the avia framework can only be modified using filters on the child theme functions.php. If you can tell us why you need to edit the breadcrumbs, maybe we can help. If you want to alter the avia shortcodes using a child theme, add this on functions.php:

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
	$template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
    array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

	return $paths;
}

Create a shortcode folder then copy the element or shortcode that you want to edit from config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes folder. Place it on the child theme’s shortcode folder. I’ll ask Dude to check, maybe my answer is insufficient.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi!

Thanks for your update.

If you want to alter class-breadcrumb.php in a child theme, follow the following steps:

1) Copy the original file into a subfolder of the child theme, lets call this folder my_files
2) From this file remove

// At beginning of file line 3 + 4 remove:
if(!class_exists('avia_breadcrumb'))
{

and aat line 144 remove:
}

Delete all after line 144 (these files are currently not ready to be hooked by the child theme)

3) Make your changes to this class

4) In functions.php of the child theme put the following:

require_once ('/my_files/class-breadcrumb.php');

If you need to do some changes in the other functions you can look for apply_filters

//  Example in line 510
$breadcrumb = apply_filters( 'avia_breadcrumbs', $breadcrumb );

In functions.php of the child theme then put the following:

add_filter('avia_breadcrumbs', 'my_breadcrumbs', 10, 1);

function my_breadcrumbs($breadcrumb )
{
// do something with breadcrumb

return $breadcrumb;
}

Hope, this will help you.

Cheers!
Günter
