If you’re familiar with Joomla!, then you are all to familiar with Module Positions. Before you freak out over these Hooks, take a deep breath and look at the graphics. Then watch this video.

With the use of the Wordpress Plugin, Thesis OpenHook (written by Rick Beckman), you can take control of Thesis Hooks without stressing!

  • Just the images I needed right now :-) Thanks

    I'm having trouble with understanding hooks. (I don't see any yellow bars on my screen) so I checked in with Thesis support,
    godhammer, at thesis support said, "OpenHook is a third-party plugin used by some to make on-screen (in WordPress) editing of custom_functions.php and custom.css more accessible. It also has a redundant php area that simplifies hooks, where "simplifies" is an opinion held by many, I do not personally feel it to be of great value, but I'll note some users feel strongly otherwise.

    As a plugin, OpenHook is not something "Thesis" (DIY Themes) can guarantee will work or upgrade alongside Thesis, and there have been a few recent issues reported with Openhook, though there are workarounds."
    So now I'm really confused about hooks, what are they? Is it just a way to describe the coding that is added to custom_php, and custom_css files? I'm not a programmer, just wanted to be able to customize a blog (that's why I paid for Thesis) but perhaps it is much more complicated than I thought. I know html and mid- css, but I never messed with php.
  • Thank you Rick for your awesome plugin and expanding my web design world!
  • What a really useful guide to hooks. I was going to do it all the 'old fashioned way' purely out of habit after buying Thesis the other day. Then I discovered the open hook plug-in and onto this page. Added you to Stumbleupon too.

    Great Help for Thesis framework hook positions.

    Thanks! I just used it to fix something that has been bugging me on my new Thesis Wordpress site.

    Thanks agian.
  • Hey mate, thanks for the graphics. Is there any way to download them so I can print them out? I can only view them in the lightbox window on your site.

    Thanks!

  • Thanks for that, you really made understanding hooks that much easier. I'm tingling with the possibilities now... Cheers!
  • That rocks. I love the visual. Now to just get them printed out and posted next to my computer :)

    I love being able to use hooks with Thesis. It lets you do some really cool things site wide and play with things.

    Best set up I have ever found for a reasonably non techie person.

    I just added the Thesis OpenHook Plugin and having this visual guide definitely helps a lot. Thanks
  • Thanks for the photos. Very helpful. I wonder if you've done one for full-width framework. It includes hooks like "thesis_hook_before_content_area" that are full-width of the browser page. Thanks for your time.
  • Thanks for the program, it made my deciding factor to using Thesis.

    I'm curious how you got the ad banner up in the top right corner of this page. Which hook is that tied to?
