Adding new function

[damurali]

Hi,
I would like to add new functionality to the index page. I have written a function which reads a xml file and returns a string value based on the parameter passed.
This function is working fine as stand alone. But I unable to integrate in the index page. Can any one give me the steps to integrate a new function to the index page.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Anand.

The short version of the answer is no. The long version is also no because I'm not a "real" programmer, I'm just a guy that can hack up some code to make some things work. I don't see why it's an issue though. Place your function inside a block and call it normally except that instead of using <?php and ?> you would use <%php%> and <%/php%>. Those are smarty tags if you weren't aware and all PHP inside those tags should parse normally.
