[solved] {jcomments} Tag does not Insert Comments?

[Josh]

According to the change log of Jcomments 2.3 as seen in the link below it says something about a new tag
http://www.joomlatune.com/jcomments-230-changelog.html

New tag {jcomments} in article's text allows to set position of comments block

I tried this on my site which it only displays the text {jcomments}. Just to make sure it was not a conflicting extension I tried it on a fresh installation of joomla which once again the tag did not show the comments in the position of the code. So is there a certain way this has to be done to display the {jcomments} as the position of the comments?

1. Open /plugins/content/jcomments/jcomments.php
2. Find code:

Code: (php)

if (isset($article->text)) {
if ($this->params->get('links_position', 1) == 1) {
$article->introtext = $article->introtext . $article->text;
} else {
$article->introtext = $article->text . $article->introtext;
}
}

replace with

Code: (php)

if (isset($article->text)) {
if (($view == 'article') && strpos($originalText, '{jcomments}') !== false) {
$originalText = str_replace('{jcomments}', $article->text, $originalText);
} else {
$article->introtext = str_replace('{jcomments}', '', $article->introtext);

if ($this->params->get('links_position', 1) == 1) {
$article->introtext = $article->introtext . $article->text;
} else {
$article->introtext = $article->text . $article->introtext;
}
}
}

3. Open plugin Content - JComments parameters and change Event from onAfterDisplayContent to onPrepareContent

Awesome! Just plain awesome!   This is exactly what I've been wanting for quite some time. I used the mod you mentioned above which works just fine.

It's not a big deal, but I assume every time I update jcomments I'll have to make this change to have it portable?

[smart]

No, this change will be included in update and you will get it via Extension manager in backend So you will not needed to make this change after every update...

Thanks!  I'll have to write you a nice review in the Joomla Extensions Directory one of these days (5 stars of course).
You put a lot of work into the new jcomments, well done!

I'm not in a hurry, but some day I'll be excited to see the Jcomments avatar plugin as well as the cb Jcomments extension for joomla 2.5. But as I said, I'm in no rush for it. I know your a busy guy.
