How would I format the comments_invite tag to link to the first comment instead of the beginning of the article?

Re: Link to first comment

Are you referring to the first comment sitting under an entry, or the first that was posted?

The first comment posted, ie. click comments invite and go directly to that comment or the comment form if no comments have been posted yet.

Check the default comments_display form for your answer. :)

Mary,

Unless I’m being obtuse (entirely possible), and in spite of what it says here ( http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:comments_invite_/ ), the comments_invite tag links to the beginning of an individual article, not the oemments form, and you have to scroll down to see/add comments. I’m trying to have the first comment be an anchor (or the form if there isn’t a comment yet), with comment_invite linking to that. Impossible, or have you already answered me? Here’s my site, see the post named Pandora Jar for an example…

Thanks:)

Hmm, Jon Hicks’ site uses Textpattern and his comment invitations work the way I want, so I’m missing something…

Look at the html output of your comments_invite tag, it’s probably something like
<a href="http://site.com/article/article-title#comment">Comment</a>.
You can add the anchor (<a name="comment"></a>) where you want it, for example at the end of your single article form.

As the example posted shows.

Re: Link to first comment

if i have a #respond div around the comments-form.. how can I change the comments_invite to go #respond instead of #comments ?

like this: <a href=“http://site.com/article/article-title#respond”>Comment</a>.

how can I change where it goes to?

thank you.

Re: Link to first comment

Don’t use comments_invite. Instead, do something like (off the top of my head):

<txp:if_comments_allowed><p><a href="<txp:permlink />#respond">Comment</a></p><txp:if_comments_allowed>
