Where does 'Comments are closed' come from?
Help me out with this one please! ‘Comments’ in the txp admin are ‘on’. Only one section will get articles with comments; the articles on other sections get ‘out’ (comments). Now, the following occurs … !!?? … on the permalink of the latest articles I get ‘comments are closed’ at the bottom. I searched all the modules, etc … but where can I ‘switch’ this off?
Look at this screendump
It’s in Dutch but you’ll see what I mean!

Re: Where does 'Comments are closed' come from?
In the (default) form ‘comments_display’ you’ll see this:
<txp:text item="comments_closed" />It gets the text from the txp_lang table. Look for the string ‘comments_closed’. If you had the Dutch language installed, it would say ‘Reageren gesloten voor dit artikel’.
So you can either change the text in the txp_lang table, or change the ‘comments_display’ form (look at some conditionals like if_comments_allowed).

Oops … that’s far away! I never did this before … so, can you search for a typical string via phpAdmin? I’ve looked already in txp_lang table but there are 66 pages of … !!?? … or perhaps you know the ID of that string … that would help me!

Ha Els, we are crossposting … :) … arg, why didn’t I look at that module! Please help me to rewrite that one … what have I to do so that articles that may have comments eventually can get ‘comments closed’ and articles that haven’t comments get nothing at all! I’m still a newbie to TXP in this kind of things … :(

@sthmtc – you did read the whole post?

Re: Where does 'Comments are closed' come from?
The easy way, I think it is:
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
... some tags and text...
<txp:else />
</txp:if_comments_allowed>Maybe you can include some if_article_list or if_individual_article magic.
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
... some tags and text...
<txp:else />
</txp:if_comments_allowed>
</txp:if_article_list>Offline

You can change this part of ‘comments_display’
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
<txp:comments_form />
<txp:else />
<p><txp:text item="comments_closed" /></p>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>into
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
<txp:comments_form /> <!-- commenting is on -->
<txp:else />
<txp:if_comments>
<p>Reageren op dit artikel is niet meer mogelijk.</p> <!-- comments have been made, but are not allowed anymore -->
</txp:if_comments>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>The tags in the default form will show the ‘comments closed’ text when comments are off for that article:
- when there are comments, but you closed them after a while,
- when comments have never been on.
My example takes care that the text will only be displayed when there are comments, but they are not allowed anymore.
Hm… reading back this looks a bit confusing, hope I made myself clear.
EDIT! (risking a crosspost again…) sthmtc was right, you need to turn off ‘automatically append comments to articles’ and move the content of ‘comments_display’ to your article form. (if_comments doesn’t seem to work in a comment form)

Re: Where does 'Comments are closed' come from?
OK … thanks to everybody … I’ve to study on it. I let you know when I’ve made it all work … or not! (Is this English?)
[edit]
This is what I did and it works fine!
<txp:comments wraptag="ol" break="li" /> <txp:comments_preview form="comment_preview"/> <txp:if_comments_allowed> <txp:comments_form /> <txp:else /> <txp:if_comments> <p class="comments_closed"><txp:text item="comments_closed" /></p> </txp:if_comments> </txp:if_comments_allowed>
