ajw_if_preview

Conditional output for comment preview. For use from within the forms comments_display and/or comments_form. Pretty simple, really :-)

Usage:

<txp:ajw_if_preview>
  <h3 id="post-comment">Comment Preview</h3>
<txp:else />
  <h3 id="post-comment">Post your comment</h3>
</txp:ajw_if_preview>

Download: ajw_if_preview

Thanks a lot, I’ll have to give this a try soon. Hopefully this means no more hacking the actual TXP code.

Cool.

I’d like to put “Comment Preview”, marked up in an H1 tag, right atop the Preview page, above the comment previewed. Using your plugin, I can get that if I put the heading in the comments_display form, but then the heading gets repeated further down the page, ahead of the existing comments. Is there any way around that?

Re: ajw_if_preview

Very helpful, and you’re right, this should be incorporated in 4.0.X.

Re: ajw_if_preview

Nice one Andrew, this was one of my pet peeves. I did find a bug/quirk, though, the else part wouldn’t work. :)

Re: ajw_if_preview

Ok, thanks for the lead. I think I’ve finally fixed it. We’re now at v0.3 and for reference, here’s how I’m currently using this plugin within my comment forms:

comments

<!-- not used -->

comments_display

<txp:ajw_if_preview>
  <h3 id="comment-preview">Comment preview</h3>
<txp:else />
  <h3 id="comments">Comments</h3>
</txp:ajw_if_preview>

<txp:comments />

<txp:if_comments_allowed>
  <txp:comments_form />
</txp:if_comments_allowed>

<txp:if_comments_disallowed>
  <p>Comments are closed for this article</p>
</txp:if_comments_disallowed>

comment_form

<div id="comment-form">

<txp:ajw_if_preview>
<txp:else />
  <h3 id="post-comment">Post your comment</h3>
  <p><a href="#content-main">Jump back to top</a> ↑</p> 
</txp:ajw_if_preview>

<!-- other comment form stuff -->

</div>

Hope that helps!
