[wp-hackers] is it possible to change the_title halfway into the processing of a page/post?

[Haluk Karamete]

Thanks Mike.
With your solution though, when I switch themes, wouldn't all that
custom programming ( querying the db to get the record data / title
etc ) be not accessible?

The reason I was putting the php code right there where the exec_php
runs ( that is the_content section ) was to store this in the wp_posts
as content so that when I switch themes, no matter whivh theme I
switch to the output of ...com/permalink/page would be the same -
except theme specific cosmetics.

But could the issue I'm raising with this be addressed by making sure
all themes functions.php **include** a generic_functions.php from the
wp root so those hooks kick in across the board?
