Gavick News Show Pro GK4 + K2 + Jcomments integration

[cedacosur]

Hi

I'm using jcomments to avoid our users to post comments in the news.

    My system:
    Joomla 2.5.3
    K2 2.5.5
    News Show Pro GK4 3.1.1
    Jcomments 2.3.0


How can I enable the comments counter in News Show Pro GK4 when a user post a comment?

How can I enable the comments counter in News Show Pro GK4 when a user post a comment?

You mean inside this bubble?


Hard to say without having this template and I don't have it. In fact, I can't even find it on their Web site.
You might want to ask the Gavik people.

This is the answer from Gavick Team:

Hi

I'm sorry but at this moment NSP GK4 for J!2.5 still doesn't support JComments.
Only on J!1.5.

Cheers




I need this counter working fine (watch attached file):

It's a 10 minute job for Gavik to fix this, literally.
So what do you expect me to do?
Like I said, I don't have this template.

I have found a solution (or should i say THE solution).

You might just want to backup this file incase you messed up:

Before reading, If you are too lazy you can just skip to the end and download the file - I have uploaded  copy of it - make sure you place it in the right folder.

Now to begin,

Go to this file: ...modules\mod_news_pro_gk4\tmpl\layout.parts.php

Look for this line:

Code:

function info_k2($config, $news_catname, $news_cid, $news_cat_alias, $news_author, $news_author_id, $news_author_email, $news_date, $news_hits, $news_id, $news_alias, $comments, $rating_count, $rating_sum, $num = 1) {

Paste this after it [inside the bracket of the function]:

Code:

//Jcomments
            $app = JFactory::getApplication();
            $comments = $app->getCfg('absolute_path') . '/components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php';
            if (file_exists($comments)) {
require_once($comments);
$k2jcomments = JComments::getCommentsCount($news_id, 'com_k2');
}
       //end of Jcomments

THEN,  look for this line (which should be about 36 lines down or so):

Code:

           if($config['no_comments_text'] && (!isset($comments['art'.$news_id]) || $comments['art'.$news_id] == 0)){
                $comments_amount = JText::_('MOD_NEWS_PRO_GK4_NO_COMMENTS');
            } else {
                $comments_amount = JText::_('MOD_NEWS_PRO_GK4_COMMENTS').' ('.(isset($comments['art'.$news_id]) ? $comments['art'.$news_id] : '0' ) . ')';
            }

And Replace it with this lines:

Code:

           if($config['no_comments_text'] && (!isset($comments['art'.$news_id]) || $k2jcomments == 0)){
                $comments_amount = JText::_('MOD_NEWS_PRO_GK4_NO_COMMENTS');
            } else {
                $comments_amount = JText::_('MOD_NEWS_PRO_GK4_COMMENTS').' ('.(isset($comments['art'.$news_id]) ? $k2jcomments : '0' ) . ')';
            }

Voila!!! You did it! Buy me a beer
Oh and one more thing as you may have notice clicking on the comment count link won't take you directly foced on the comment, so to fix that..

Find this line {which should be the next line right after the last lines we just replaced]:

Code:

$info_comments = '<a class="nspComments" href="'.urldecode(JRoute::_(K2HelperRoute::getItemRoute($news_id.':'.urlencode($news_alias), $news_cid.':'.urlencode($news_cat_alias)))).'#itemCommentsAnchor">'.$comments_amount.'</a>';

           

And replace it with this:

Code:

$info_comments = '<a class="nspComments" href="'.urldecode(JRoute::_(K2HelperRoute::getItemRoute($news_id.':'.urlencode($news_alias), $news_cid.':'.urlencode($news_cat_alias)))).'#comments">'.$comments.'</a>';

There you go..
And if you are just tooo darn lazy to go through all these, I have uploaded the edited file.. Just make sure you back up the previous file (just in case)..
