Changing position of Comments

[Castor]

I use Jcomments and it's best comment component i've ever seen! 
But now i have a problem: In the file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_links.php i have the definition of how the comments link is displayed.

Now in a usual joomla blog frontpage the Link to the comments is displayed AFTER the whole text.

Now i want the Links to be displayed BEFORE the text: Between title of article and text of the title.

Can you help me how to work this out? Because in fact somewhere in any code must be something, that loads the tpl_links.php file... But i did not find the right place... 

Thank you already very much!

You can setup this in Content - JComments plugin parameters - there is parameter named "Links Position" and it has 2 possible values: Before article and After article. By default these links are displayed after the article text. But you can easy change that.

As you can see in first article at www.balonarstvo.com link for More and Add comments appear below picture .. if thay would be positioned right it would be under article...

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Button More (joomla style) to appear above "Add comment" ... any idea?

This is normal. Because if you're using Joomla's readmore link it displayed in different table row. So it shown on other row. If you want to see these links in one line you need to switch style to JComments. If you want reamore link to look with Joomla's css - just fill appropriate class name in plugin settings for that link.

Thank you .. so i guess it's up to me to dig into code and find that row and play little with that ..

Thanks again!

Try next solution:

1. Open file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_links.php and replace code:

Code: (php)

<div class="jcomments-links"><?php echo $readmoreLink; ?> <?php echo $commentsLink; ?> <?php echo $hitsCount; ?></div>

with

Code: (php)

<div class="jcomments-links"><?php echo $readmoreLink; ?><br /><?php echo $commentsLink; ?></div>

2. Open Content - JComments plugin and set Readmore style to JComments
3. Open Content - JComments plugin and set Readmore Link CSS to readon (this is default Joomla class for readmore link).

thank you .. i made some changes .. that <br > did the trick, now we have some fine tuning .. as you can see our first article at www.balonarstvo.com has now huge gap under picture.

Does the first article have it's own code? To make this gap smaller somehow. Those 3 articles below are just perfect!

Thank you a lot for your time and help!

Smart .. have a minute for me?

To make this gap smaller somehow. Those 3 articles below are just perfect!

Open file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/style.css and replace:

Code: (css)

.jcomments-links {margin-top: 10px; clear:both; text-align: left}

with

Code: (css)

.jcomments-links {margin-top: 10px; text-align: left}

And all would be fine
