Why on earth would you want to spam update services about activating a Theme?– Chip BennettMar 16, 2012 at 16:40

Just need to automatically add some update services in addition to the basic ones on theme activation– zagriyenMar 17, 2012 at 14:19

If this is a publicly distributed Theme, I would strongly recommend against putting this sort of thing in the Theme. Defining update services to be pinged is the sort of functionality that should be left to Plugins.– Chip BennettMar 17, 2012 at 20:31

Don't worry this is for personal use only. But thanks that's sounds like a great idea, i'll try doing it through the plugins rather than the theme.– zagriyenMar 18, 2012 at 9:13

Themes don't currently have activation/deactivation/installation/uninstallation hooks.
Your best bet is to "fake" it somehow, perhaps with a function that only executes one time, based on a switch that gets toggled when the function executes. e.g.:
<?php
function wpse45817_theme_activation() {
// globalize our switch
global $wpse45817_theme_activation_switch;
// Check to see if the switch is set
if ( isset( $wpse45817_theme_activation_switch ) ) {
return;
} else {
// EXECUTE YOUR THEME-ACTIVATION CODE HERE
//
//
// Toggle Theme activation switch
$wpse45817_theme_activation_switch = true;
}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'wpse45817_theme_activation' );
?>
