You can't call functions from template files (well, with the exception of header.thtml ...).
What you can do, though, is define your own template variables (those things in {curly_braces}). In your lib-custom.php, you can have a function
{
switch ($templatename) {
case 'storytext':
case 'featuredstorytext':
case 'archivestorytext':
$template->set_var ('hello_world', "Hello, world!");
break;
}
}
That would define a new variable {hello_world} that you can use in those three template files (storytext.thtml, etc.).
Note: Requires Geeklog 1.4.1 and does only work with a few template files (header, footer, and those three above, IIRC).

Thanks for your response dirk.
I don't know why, i tried several times to upgrade my (1.4.0sr1) installation to 1.41. Every time i get many errors.
I gave up for a while
Well,I'm trying to implement [url =http://www.masugadesign.com/the-lab/scripts/unobtrusive-ajax-star-rating-bar/]masuga ajax "star rating"[/url] to appear bellow every story title.
The standard way, the script works using an echo like this:
i'm confused now.
i know i can't echo using geeklog...that's the reason i thought to create that function and call to storytext.
the function i need to call/echo is

Dirk, there is no way to make something similar using 1.4.0?
I mean, define new variable to use in storytext.thtml?
Thanks.

No simple way. You would need to edit STORY_renderArticle in system/lib-story.php to call your function and put its results into the variable you added to storytext.thtml
Somewhere before the end of the function you add the line
$article->set_var('rating_bar_text', rating_bar($A['sid']) );
and in the storytext.thtml you add {rating_bar_text} where ever you want the text to appear.
The annoying part is having to make this change every time you upgrade.

Thanks...
i'll upgrade to 1.41 today...it's better only edit lib-custom, right?
anyway i have some index.php modifications too...
{
switch ($templatename) {
case 'storytext':
case 'featuredstorytext':
case 'archivestorytext':
$template->set_var ('hello_world', "Hello, world!");
break;
}
