[wp-hackers] Child Themes in OOP flavour

[Filippo Pisano]

A fast update on this topic. I used the approach you guys suggested (thank
you) and it worked flawlessly.
Just a side note on the implementation. I had to use a utility function to
create classes instances like this:

// Use this function to instantiate classes inside themes
function my_theme_instance($class){
    // Check if we are inside child theme and action has not been called.
This means that we are trying to instantiate parent theme
    if(is_child_theme() && did_action("after_setup_theme") === 0){
        return false;
    }
    elseif(class_exists($class)){
        return new $class;
    }
}
Hope this helps.

Cheers
