Modifying core functions with functions.php

    I would like to modify the bb_list_tags to show who the author of that tag was (to moderators)

    So I created a functions.php in my theme and have copied function bb_list_tags from functions.bb-templates.php file. And done the following (note the changes to the function have not yet been made)

    <?php
    // to override bb_list_tags to show tag author

    remove_filter('bb_list_tags', 'bb_list_tag');

    function bb_list_tag( $args = null ) {
    $defaults = array(
    'tags' => false,
    'format' => 'list',
    'topic' => 0,
    'list_id' => 'tags-list'
    );

    $args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
    extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );

    if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) )
    return false;

    if ( !is_array($tags) )
    $tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );

    if ( !$tags )
    return false;

    $list_id = attribute_escape( $list_id );

    $r = '';
    switch ( strtolower($format) ) :
    case 'table' :
    break;
    case 'list' :
    default :
    $args['format'] = 'list';
    $r .= "<ul id='$list_id' class='tags-list list:tag'>n";
    foreach ( $tags as $tag )
    $r .= _bb_list_tag_item( $tag, $args );
    $r .= "</ul>";
    endswitch;
    echo $r;
    }

    add_filter('bb_list_tags', 'bb_list_tag');

    ?>

    Is this the correct way to change a core function? Changing anything within it doesn’t appear to override the original function.
