Define a function that to be used from both admin and non-admin area?

Hi guys,

A quick question:

I want to define a few common functions to be used both in the non-admin area, and the admin area.

Where should I put them? -- I noticed if I put it under includes\functions, they are not accessible from the admin.

Thanks!

Re: Define a function that to be used from both admin and non-admin area?

First, you should probably be putting them in /includes/functions/extra_functions/

Then, in your admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ add a file which has include statements for each of the filenames (and path) you wish to load from your non-admin /includes/functions/extra_functions/ folder.
