New Comments-related

tc03 · 2008-01-21 05:00:52

What I am after is a front-page that has a list of articles, but also has a comments-like section where can be posted links by readers (if you have seen quipsologies then you know what I mean). I am confused as to whether I would use the static-article/sticky method described here – which I have used already for about and contact etc. or if there is some other way of doing it. What I imagine I must do is make an article with comments open on the same page as my recent article list, and use two different forms for them…if it helps, i have the following already for this part

We do something like this for the submit news section at CMP. It doesn’t really matter if your article is live or sticky, since you’ll be pulling it with article_custom. Do the following:

Grab the latest taghandlers.php or run an svn copy
Create a section, community
Post an article to that section

Page template

<txp:article_custom form="community" section="community" />

Form: community

<txp:hide>
	Include your message, if desirable.
</txp:hide>
	<txp:body />
<txp:hide>
	If you're not doing anything special to the individual comments,
	then use the default comments form.
</txp:hide>
	<txp:comments break="" form="community_input" limit="10" wraptag="" />

See if that works for you.

Sorry – just one thing – what is taghandlers.php – how do i get how do i install/what do i change…?
But yes, looks like the solution, just need help to implement..

Also, doesn’t seem to work – no comments come up. I have the following:

PAGE

FORM = community (article form?)

<txp:body />

<txp:comments break=”“ form=“comments_display” wraptag=”“ />

FORM = comments_display

<txp:comments />

<txp:if_comments_preview>
<div id=“cpreview”>
<txp:comments_preview />
</div>
</txp:if_comments_preview>

<txp:if_comments_allowed>
<txp:comments_form />
<txp:else />
<p><txp:text item=“comments_closed” /></p>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>

What have I done wrong?

Replace textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php with this version. We need this because the comments tag lacks a limit attribute in 4.0.5, but it’s present in the development branch.

Edit: For your recent problem, are there comments posted to the article in the community section? Any errors (enable debugging mode in Admin)?

sorry jm – after xhtml/css not much idea – where is this textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php that I have to change?

tc03 · 2008-01-21 06:11:05

got it

tc03 · 2008-01-21 06:13:43

But still no success – the article is displayed but no comment/input info. Nothing.

tc03 · 2008-01-21 06:20:49

I guess I want to display the input here as well – on your site there is a separate window that pops up – i just want it there on the page.

tc03 · 2008-01-21 06:30:57

damn got it… ty for help and patience

jm · 2008-01-21 07:19:30
