Ok, I’ve changed a few things in the Recent Comments Add on. Now, which you can see is active here, if you the user has a webpage, then their name will link to it. If you click on the date, it will link it right to the comment itself. Since I couldn’t seem to find the EE variable for comment_id, I ended up using the date/time as a unique identifier and put that into the anchor link.
As per sue’s instructions, I’m including the bits of code as .txt files, since I think this is the best way to actually copy and paste them.
Revised Function to put into your functions Template
The first thing you’ll want to do is to edit your Comments Template. You’ll need to put the anchor tag on top of comment. Just using a bit of dateformatting magick, it works out pretty easy. Here is what I put:
{exp:comment:entries sort=”asc”}
<a name=”{comment_date format=”%Y%m%d%H%i%s”}”></a>
<div class=”comment”>{comment}</div>
<div class=”commentfooter”>{url_or_email_as_author} • {comment_date format=’%m/%d’} • {comment_date format=’%h:%i %A’}</div>
{/exp:comment:entries}
And that’s it!
The date format is what is important to link up. Because of the time offset that everyone can possibly have, I am only assuming that the db field called “edit_date” in the exp_comments table is the adjusted date. Hopefully this is right.
Very good function. I just am having troubles with the update. How is this inserted, Do you overwrite what is already in there completely or just paste this to the end or what.
Thanks
it’s a plugin, so it replaces the old one. just follow the install plan and take out the old one.
