Popup comments

I have enabled ‘Popup comments’ in my site configuration, but it still displays the form on each article page. How do I place a link on the article_form that will open both the comments and the form in a different window ?

Thanks!

Re: Popup comments

I finally found the tag to display the link for popup comments, which was:

< txp:comments_invite showalways=“1” / >

But, the window that pops up only says this:

Warning: unknown_tag in /home/urbangr1/public_html/textpattern/publish.php on line 911

Is there something I missed I should have altered either in the config or the tags ?

Re: Popup comments

I use popup comments too, this is how I did it:

In my article form, I used these tags:

<code><txp:if_comments_allowed>
<txp:comments_invite showalways=1 />
</txp:if_comments_allowed>
</code>

This is better because it only shows the comment link if you have comments activated for that particular post.

Then, in the admin>preferences tab, turn off the Automatically append comments to articles? option.

I’m not sure if that might be your problem, but I hope that helps!

Re: Popup comments

I pasted the code to replace my unique tag, and checked again that Automatically append was disabled. Unfortunately, I still get the same error. But thank you all the same, Nell! :)

Re: Popup comments

Oh!

The default popup_comment form that appeared after I checked the popup option for comments in the configuration had another < txp:popup_comment / > tag within, calling for itself as a form, something absurd (unless I’m missing something). I replaced it with < txp:comments_form / > and the form finally appeared.

I still was getting the error line above the comment form, though. So, in comment_display, I replaced < txp: comment_form / > with < txp: comments_invite / >, and now it’s gone.

I tested, though, and after hitting the Preview button (no Submit button to see), the next page is blank.

Re: Popup comments

Since it seems my comments, comments_display, comment_form and popup_comments have come up with some wrong tags in them, would somebody who uses popup comments that work oblige me by providing me with the forms they use, please ? :)

Re: Popup comments

Odd. The form that appears only after placing < txp:comments_form / > calls for a form that doesn’t exist, as I only have a comment_form, singular. But when I call for < txp:comment_form / > instead in the popup_comment form, I lose the comment form again, and clicking on the link gets an empty window.

Am I using too many (unrelated to comments) plugins in my TXP install that may be messing with things ?

Re: Popup comments

The form that appears only after placing <txp:comments_form /> calls for a form that doesn’t exist, as I only have a comment_form, singular. But when I call for <txp:comment_form /> instead in the popup_comment form, I lose the comment form again, and clicking on the link gets an empty window.

You’re getting confused: tag names have zero to do with form names. The correct tag name would be <txp:comments_form />, but that’s not the one you want anyway.

The default popup_comment form that appeared after I checked the popup option for comments in the configuration had another <txp:popup_comment /> tag within, calling for itself as a form, something absurd (unless I’m missing something). I replaced it with <txp:comments_form /> and the form finally appeared.

I still was getting the error line above the comment form, though. So, in comment_display, I replaced <txp:comment_form /> with <txp:comments_invite />, and now it’s gone.

The sole tag to be placed in your “popup_comments” form is the <txp:popup_comments /> tag.

At this point, return your comment-related forms to their defaults and start again.

Re: Popup comments

This is what I was using on my photoblog before I removed comments. It should still work (there’s a tutorial too).

form: comments (if you have comments presented as an ordered list)

<div class="comment">
	<txp:message />
	<p class="commenter">
		&mdash;<txp:comment_name /> 
		<txp:comment_time />
		<txp:comment_permlink>#</txp:comment_permlink>
	</p>
</div>

form: comments_display (since this is a popup, it has has the title and thumbnail)

<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<p><txp:permlink><txp:excerpt /></txp:permlink></p>
<txp:comments />
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
	<txp:comments_form />
<txp:else />
	<p><txp:text item="comments_closed" /></p>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>

form: popup_comments

I’m greatly simplifying things here by excluding the doctype and most of the head:


<html>
<head>
	<title><txp:title /></title>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="container-of-sorts">
		<txp:popup_comments />
	</div>
</body>
</html>

form: comments_form (add something like #comment_form label { display: block; } to your css to space these, or use p’s)

<txp:comments_error / > 
<fieldset id="comment_form" >
	<label for="name">< txp:text item="name" />< /label>
	<txp:comment_name_input />
	<txp:comment_remember />
	<label for="email">< txp:text item="email" />< /label>
	<txp:comment_email_input />
	<label for="web">http://< /label>
	<txp:comment_web_input />
	<label for="message">< txp:text item="message" />< /label>
	<txp:comment_message_input />
	<txp:comments_help />
	<txp:comment_preview />
	<txp:comment_submit />
</fieldset>

Updated code formatting, not sure if much of this is relevant with 4.0.4.

Re: Popup comments

Hi, sorry if I’m bringing up old topics, but I’m getting the same kind of error here, 

Warning: unknown_tag: popup_comments in /home/riding/public_html/gourmetborneo/textpattern/publish.php on line 968

However, when I try this on a different site, on a different server it works fine. I am unsure whether this has anything to do with differing versions of PHP used (4.4.2 on the error producing site and 4.4.4 on the working one) or something else I am missing. Is there any way to rectify this?

Also, I am using the default forms.

Re: Popup comments

So it’s a stock install with popup comments? Could you post your diagnostics?

Well I wouldn’t call it stock as it runs a dozen or so plugins but none that have anything to do with comments.

I have trouble with one or two of the plugins on, but thats very much a different issue, I believe.
