Offset tag in comments
Hi all!
I’m using rvm_counter plugin to display the comment number in the comments list.
The counter needs to be set to 1 in the first comment, so this is how I am doing:
The difference between the two modules is that in “first_comment_list” the counter is set to 1.
But the offset tag seems to not to do what is meant to do, because in the comments list the first comment appears two times. I tried to change the value to 2 and 3 just for test, and nothing changes.
Where’s my mistake? Thank you!

Beto, you don’t need to use two comment forms, that’s harder to maintain.
In order to number the comments you just put a <txp:rvm_counter reset="0" offset="0" /> (hidden via CSS) in your page before your txp:comments tag and another instance of <txp:rvm_counter /> inside your comments form where you want the number displayed.

In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Also, rvm_counter may not be the tool for the job, as it saves the count on the database, and multiple concurrent hits to your site will mangle the counting…
You may prefer to use adi_calc, or a modified version of rvm_counter (this modified version doesn’t keep count on the database, instead, it generates a new count for each visit).
