how do i make a custom comment-form.
hello,
What i want is a custom form zo all the comments looks like this :
Name comment-time
Comment
I tried it with :
<code>
<tpx:comment_name><tpx:comment_time><br>
<tpx:comment>
</code>
But then nothing appears on the site.
What am i doing wrong.

Hi roelof.
I think the problem is that the tags are not closed correctly and are written wrong
Try
<code>
<txp:comment_name /><txp:comment_time /><br>
<txp:comment />
</code>
edit: corrected typo: it’s not tpx, it’s txp

<txp:comment /> should be <txp:message /> in my opinion.

That looks fine to me. Did you give the form type ‘comment’?

oke,
I was looking in at the wrong url.
But if i look at the right one, i get the normal comments not the custom form which i refer to at my plugin.

Re: how do i make a custom comment-form.
Textpatterns comment feature is sitting under a strong safety belt. Comment features are allso turned off by default.
You should go to your article that you would like to allow comments and turn it on under content>articles, if it isn’t.
Allso you should double check, if comments are turned off under Siteprefs>comments.

Re: how do i make a custom comment-form.
You’re still using sdr_guestbook, right? This looks like the normal comments are shown, not the guestbook comments. Make sure that the article form for your article ‘Gastenboek’ does not contain <txp:comments />.
I also think that you should create a separate section for this article. You can set it to use the default page template if you don’t want to create a new page for it. And then on the page you wrap the sdr_guestbook tag in <txp:if_section name="gastenboek"></txp:if_section>.
