Comments listing and preview

Is there anyway to use limit tag in comments. Like in articles (txp:article limit) and then could use <txp:older / newer> in comments ? So it wouldnt list all comments in same page.. is it possible?

Im tryin to make guestbook from comments… and it would be nice if there was some kind limit. Also how can i do a preview comment that dissapears other comments, i saw it on http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/ .

Thanks!

Re: Comments listing and preview

Comment pagination has been a request for some time now. Ruud at some point was working on a plugin for it but I don’t know what stage it is at.

Regarding your second question, Jon is most probably using the txp:if_comment_preview tag

Re: Comments listing and preview

Related to this – I cannot seem to get the Comment Preview to display… it all seems to work, but no message is displayed – this is my code

<txp:if_comments_preview>

<p>*Please Review your comment and then press "Submit"*</p>
<p><txp:comment_message /></p>

<txp:else />

<p><txp:comment_message /></p>
<p class="small">— <txp:comment_name /> · <txp:comment_time /> · <txp:comment_permlink>#</txp:comment_permlink></p>

</txp:if_comments_preview>

Re: Comments listing and preview

Tye – Where you have the first <p><txp:comment_message /></p> you need to use the comment_preview tag something like <txp:comments_preview form="comments_preview" /> and the form will include the tags and styling hooks for the information you want displayed from the comment.

You need to edit the strings called 'comment_posted' and 'comment_moderated' in the txp_lang table (You can use something like phpmyadmin for this).

Re: Comments listing and preview

Thanks Mary – Debug it very useful – I didn’t know about that :)

Thanks thebombsite – that worked a treat – well it put me in the right direction – I think I need to look at comments in more detail.

Apologies for hijacking… I thought it was related
