Add jcomment to Mini frontpage?

[luftkaffe]

is it possible? It would be a great extension if i just get the commentlink to work.
I´ve read the Developers guide, but i´m afraid i dont understand it wery well.


Here are the code for /tmpl/default.php

Code:

<?php 

// no direct access 

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); 



$database =& JFactory::getDBO();

$ini_intro = 1; 

?><table width="100%" class="minifp"><?php

// ----------- add category title ------------ 

$link = JRoute::_($row->link);

$database->setQuery( $query ); 

$categ = $database->loadResult(); 

$catlink   = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($row->catslug, $row->sectionid));

}

I REALLY need help with this one too!

It doesn't need a plugin, since the content plugin covers all the info needed by this module.

Here is the code I added:

Code:

|  <a href="<?php echo $item->articleLink; ?>#addcomments"><?php $comments = JPATH_SITE . DS .'components' . DS . 'com_jcomments' . DS . 'jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $count = JComments::getCommentsCount($id, 'com_content');
    echo $count ? ('Comments('. $count . ')') : 'Add comment';
  }
  ?></a>

add this code wherever you want the 'Add Comments' link, or the 'Comments (3)' link to show.

NOTE:  This code does not work completely. I still need to replace $id with the correct code to pull the article id.

Can someone tell me where this code is that creates the comments link for items like the frontpage, or any blog layout pages?

that creates the comments link for items like the frontpage, or any blog layout pages?

You can find it in JComments content plugin (/plugins/content/jcomments.php).

[joshlfisher]

I think maybe the best solution is to post some generic code that will allow the insertion on the comments link into modules that utilize com_content.

Can you help with that, Smart?

[smart]

Simple code:

Code: (php)

include_once (JPATH_ROOT.DS.'components'.DS.'com_jcomments'.DS.'jcomments.legacy.php');
require_once (JCOMMENTS_BASE.DS.'jcomments.config.php');
require_once (JCOMMENTS_BASE.DS.'jcomments.class.php');

$user = & JFactory::getUser();

if ($article->access <= $user->get('aid', 0)) {
$readmore_link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($article->slug, $article->catslug, $article->sectionid));
$readmore_register = 0;
} else {
$readmore_link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_user&task=register');
$readmore_register = 1;
}

// load template for comments & readmore links
$tmpl = & JCommentsFactory::getTemplate($article->id, 'com_content', false);
$tmpl->load('tpl_links');

$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'comments_link_style', ($readmore_register ? -1 : 1));
$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'content-item', $article);
$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'link-comment', $readmore_link);

$readmore_text = JText::_('Read more...');
$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'link-readmore', $readmore_link);
$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'link-readmore-text', $readmore_text);
$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'link-readmore-title', $article->title);

require_once (JCOMMENTS_BASE.DS.'model'.DS.'jcomments.php');
$count = JCommentsModel::getCommentsCount($article->id, 'com_content');
$tmpl->addVar('tpl_links', 'comments-count', $count);

echo $tmpl->renderTemplate('tpl_links') . $article->text;

The $article variable must be an article object (JTableContent)
