How to set "add comment" form above comments area?

[coleman84]

Hi,

1st of all, a BIG THANKS! I really appreciate your hard work.

I have only one usability issue: How do I set the "add comment" form to exist above the actual comments? I have alot of comments right now on one of my site pages and the "add comment" form has been pushed on the bottom of the page so the user must scroll quite a while before reaching it (they'll probably wonder if it does exist).

It would be great if you'd place the "add comment" form by default above comments as it does make more sense. And also I believe that when comments are in Tree style, most recent comment should be displayed 1st.

Thanks again and I hope someone will respond to this

For JComments 2.2.0.2 only:

Open file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_index.php and replace:

Code: (php)

<div id="comments"><?php echo $comments; ?></div>
<?php
// Display comments form (or link to show form)
if (isset($form)) {
echo $form;
}
?>

with

Code: (php)

<?php
// Display comments form (or link to show form)
if (isset($form)) {
echo $form;
}
?>
<div id="comments"><?php echo $comments; ?></div>

Since JComments 2.3.0 where is no needed to change any line of code - you can choose comment text box position in JComments settings (see Layout tab).
