Customizing comments counter in SOBI2 V-Card

[Wiz]

Hola,

I put this into my v-card and it works fine...

Code:

<?php


  $comments = JPATH_SITE . DS .'components' . DS . 'com_jcomments' . DS . 'jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $count = JComments::getCommentsCount($id, 'com_sobi2');
    echo $count ? ('Comments('. $count . ')') : 'Add comment';
  }


?>

I just wanna ask on how to make it go to comments, when user click at 'Comments (1)' or 'Add comment'.

Thanks

I don't use SOBI2 so I don't know what type of information is displayed on v-card. The code you post shows comments counter for certain item. Do you want to add link to this item?

Thanks...

You can use following code:

Code: (php)

<?php
  $comments = JPATH_SITE . DS .'components' . DS . 'com_jcomments' . DS . 'jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $count = JComments::getCommentsCount($id, 'com_sobi2');
    $link = JCommentsObjectHelper::getLink($id, 'com_sobi2');
    echo $count ? ('<a href="'.$link.'#comments">Comments('. $count . ')</a>') : '<a href="'.$link.'#addcomment">Add comment</a>';
  }
?>

Works great!  Thanks very much...

Just 1 more question...for non-registered user, how do I add 'Please login to comment'. 

Thanks...

This code do validation user's permissions to comment:

Code: (php)

$acl = & JCommentsFactory::getACL();
if ($acl->canComment()) {
  // user can comment
} else {
  // user can't comment
}

so we could use this function in our code:

Code: (php)

<?php
  $comments = JPATH_SITE . DS .'components' . DS . 'com_jcomments' . DS . 'jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $count = JComments::getCommentsCount($id, 'com_sobi2');
    $link = JCommentsObjectHelper::getLink($id, 'com_sobi2');
    $acl = & JCommentsFactory::getACL();
    echo $count ? ('<a href="'.$link.'#comments">Comments('. $count . ')</a>') : ($acl->canComment() ? ('<a href="'.$link.'#addcomment">Add comment</a>') : ('<a href="'.JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_user&task=register').'">Please login to comment</a>'));
  }
?>

It will display 'Comments(10)' if there are 10 comments and 'Add comment' if 0 comments and user has permissions to post new comment or 'Please login to comment' if he hasn't.

Also I can suggest you to setup appropriate messate in JComments settings - it will be displayed to users who has no permissions to post comments. Otherwise they would see nothing if there are no comments for certain item.
