Comments Invite on Individual Page
I’ve got a photoblog deal going on here and I’m using zem_nav to navigate between photos. The reason I’m doing this is that zem_nav allows moving between photos even from an individual article page. This is dandy, except when on an individual article page, the comment invite disappears. I’m using popup comments. It’s almost like Textpattern thinks the comments form is going to display on the individual article page so it doesnt invite. Is there any way to force the comment invite to show up on individual article pages?
Thanks much!

You have to use the <txp:article /> tag for the comments invite to appear. Are you doing that or do you use <txp:article_custom />?

I’m using low_article to get low_discuss to work. I’ll turn that off and see what happens.

Ah, yes right. When I use <txp:article /> the comments appear on the individual article page, even though I’ve chosen to use popup comments only. I was using low_discuss to hide the comments, basically. So what I need is a way to hide the comments on the individual page and still retain the comment invite on the individual page. Now that I’ve explained it out, it sounds pretty impossible.

I hope not! I’m waiting on that too. Your photoblog is looking so good though!

Well thanks for the compliment. It seems like a lot of photoblogs out there which use a different CMS have a leg up on us in a few ways. There’s at least three or four things I feel I need to do to make a photoblog really work, but Textpattern doesn’t have a way to get those things done yet. Of course, I’d never leave TXP for all of the things it does have now. Plus all the folks working on it seem to never sleep in their pursuit of making TXP the best out there. So, sooner or later, everything I need will be built in all nice.

I don’t know if I understand the popup function correctly. Isn’t there supposed to be the comment invite which opens a popup when you click it?

Yes, Andreas, that’s the way I’d like it to behave. It’s a basic thing I’m after (at least seemingly), I want the comment invite to appear on both article list and individual article pages, and I want that invite to open a popup when clicked weather it be from an article list page or individual article page.

Well, I think I made progress on this. For some oddball reason, switching to messy url’s will allow the popup invite to display.
My /gallery/ section (archives) looks like this:
<code>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<div id=“image”><txp:article_image /></div>
<p id=“details”><txp:comments_invite /></p>
<div id=“navigation”><txp:link_to_prev>←</txp:link_to_prev>|
<txp:link_to_next >→</txp:link_to_next ></div>
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:permlink><txp:excerpt /></txp:permlink>
</txp:if_article_list>
</code>
I really don’t want to use messy urls though. Anyone else have a solution? low_discuss didn’t work for me either…
