How do i separate the comments from the article ?

jadehouse · 2007-08-13 20:17:40

Ruud, if you do create a plugin for this please let me know. I’d be happy to pay for it.

nicky, you can put that code in your template

And yes, I’ll probably turn this into a plugin, with an option for paginating comments.

It seems it’s not a new demand. See on this subject, long times ago, the topic of Colak, Els and mine (and others)

Happy that ruud going to create a plugin :) … And I hope that Alistapart will choose TXP for its new website version (It would be an excellent promotion for TXP ;)

What do you mean ? Section, page or form ?
And then, how do i do to link this new form to my articles ? (when i click on an article in go to this new form, same for comments)

Even if you make a plugin , i would like to understand, thanks ;)

Nicky,

As ruud explains :

1° create a section named “comment”
2° Copy your default template page and rename it “comment” (or another name as you want). Assign it to your corresponding section (see above)
3° Delete all your “default” content form and put into :

<txp:php>
  global $pretext;
  extract(chopUrl($pretext['req']));
  if ($u4 === 'comments') {
    echo parse('
        <txp:output_form form="comments_display" />
        <txp:output_form form="comment_form" />
    ');
  } else {
    echo parse('
       <txp:if_article_list>
       <h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> &#183; <txp:posted /></h3>
<txp:body />
<p>— <txp:author /></p>
<txp:comments_invite wraptag="p" /></txp:if_article_list>
    ');
  }
</txp:php>

4° Now, when you display your articles, you’ve got a link “add your comment” (assuming you’d changed the default invite within preferences tab). When you clic on it, all the comments are displaying in a separate page! Funny is’n it?

(Edit: changed code display to avoid wrong quotes display. -Els)

I meant in your page (I tend to call that a ‘template’ because it makes more sense to me).
So, you put the second bit of code (the smaller one) in your page and create two forms: one containing the tags for displaying the normal article, one containing tags for displaying the comments. All the PHP code does is decide which form to used based on the URL (if it ends in /comments, then it uses the comments_form).

Contrary to the explanation Patrick gives, you don’t need a separate comments section. You do need manually create a link on the article page that does <a href="<txp:permlink />/comments"</a>view comments</a>.

$u4 is always empty for me :

print_r($pretext);
var_dump($u4);

result :

	Array
(
    [id] => 1
    [s] => article
    [c] => 
    [q] => 
    [pg] => 
    [p] => 
    [month] => 
    [author] => 
    [request_uri] => /textpattern-4.0.5/article/1/comments/
    [qs] => 
    [subpath] => \/textpattern-4\.0\.5\/
    [req] => /article/1/comments/
    [status] => 200
    [page] => archive
    [id_keywords] => 
    [id_author] => NicKy
    [next_id] => 
    [next_title] => 
    [next_utitle] => 
    [next_posted] => 
    [prev_id] => 
    [prev_title] => 
    [prev_utitle] => 
    [prev_posted] => 
    [path_from_root] => /textpattern-4.0.5/
    [pfr] => /textpattern-4.0.5/
    [path_to_site] => E:\Softwares\wamp\www\textpattern-4.0.5
    [permlink_mode] => section_id_title
    [sitename] => Mon site
    [secondpass] => 
)
NULL

Why ? :X

Change that to $u3.
I assumed people were using /section/id/title URLs, but you seem to be using /section/id

NicKy · 2007-08-15 15:09:12

i use
[request_uri] => /textpattern-4.0.5/article/1/comments/
[permlink_mode] => section_id_title

Is ‘comments’ your article title?

NicKy · 2007-08-15 20:20:45

[request_uri] => /textpattern-4.0.5/article/1/first-post/comments/

same result.

If you put this just below the ‘extract’ line in the code, what does it show?:

dmp($u1);dmp($u2);dmp($u3);dmp($u4);

That’s strange… in that case clean urls would not work at all on your website. What does this show:

<txp:php>
  global $pretext;
  dmp($pretext['req']);
  dmp(chopUrl($pretext['req']));
  extract(chopUrl($pretext['req']));
  dmp($u1);dmp($u2);dmp($u3);dmp($u4);
</txp:php>
