Requiring a php-script with custom functions before any block-call
Permalink
So I've installed ProBlog and I'm customizing it to do some fancy tricks, displaying colors for each category etc. But I've run into an issue I don't know how to fix.
I have a php script located in the following folder:
themes/[my-theme]/php/functions.php
Every file in my theme-folder that concrete passes through, such as default.php; view.php; custom page-types - calls the file functions.php that retrieves attributes from specific site-sections and that has helpful functions that I use to style the site.
But for some reason when I edit a page that was created with pro-blog, I get an error that one of my functions wasn't found:
(note: yes, I customized that pro-blog file)
This tells me that my script-file wasn't loaded at the time that the pro_blog-block created the html-content. The rest of the site is displaying fine and it did go through view.php in the theme root folder which references my function.php, just not before creating the pro_blog-content but after creating it...
So my question, is there a way to use my custom functions everywhere by including it before concrete uses any of the blocks to process (render) html?
thanks very much!

I haven't really gotten any further on this, any tips?
anyone?...
i'd just load in in dispatcher.php
Thanks for your answer.
I had tried the dispatcher before but couldn't get it to work properly, but now I know why.
I had put my include after this line:
now I added my functions before the tools call and it's working. Better yet, there is a call to a file called "site_theme_paths.php"
which points to that file inside the root /config foder. I just added my include call into that file:
Now, even if I update concrete5 it still works since I didn't have to touch dispatcher.php! :D
of course, site_theme_paths.php was meant to be used to override system layouts, but in this case it suits my purpose ^^
