I want to display the comments list one a cached page (ProCache) and the comments form on another, uncached page.

I'd expect that calling $cachedPage->yourcommentfield->renderForm() in your uncached page's template should do what you want.

How can I use deleteComment()? I posted a question here, but have been trying to figure it out here. Still stuck, so please help.

Hi!

 

I tried to enable mail notification for users (guests), enabled "Allow commenter e-mail notifications":

The option shows up on the page:

But no e-mails are being sent. Is there something else I need to do?

Other mail notifications, like the admin notification for comments, are working just fine, so it's not a general e-mail issue.

 

Any help is appreciated.

hi @formmailer, it has been some time since your post but I have kind of the same issue except that even admin notifications aren't sent, did you find out how to deal with this?

Note: my comments are rendered via the customList but it is in the site/modules directory already, as suggested by @Juergen and I don't need comments approval, just email notifications to the page creator, as well as to all people who commented on the page.

I have tried those  but still didn't receive anything yet...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually I am loading all the pages to a pop window using the jquery script

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).on("click", "ul.pagination li a", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        //var pageurl = $(this).attr("href");
        $("div#loader").load($(this).attr("href"))});                      
});

what problem i face is when i submit a comment in a page, the url changes to some thing like

http://localhost/myblogs/?comment_success=1#CommentPostNote

so as result the page layout changes to the template layout of myblogs which doesn't include head and footer..

so how can i make sure the redirection url of the comment submission loads to the div id "loader"

Your help is very much appreciated... thank you

is it possible to get the all comments in a particular template? irrespective to the page associated with the template.

Hi @Chandini, if I understand correctly, you want to redirect to a specific url after posting the comment instead of:

http://localhost/myblogs/?comment_success=1#CommentPostNote

To change the success redirect url I went into the CommentForm.php file from the module.
You should find this :

$this->wire('session')->redirect($url);

Replace this with the url you want:

$this->wire('session')->redirect("./#loader");

 

And yes it is possible to get all comments into another page.

I would do something similar to this, first find all pages with the template having the comments field, for each one of them get the comments field, then for each comment, if it is approved and published, retrieve the data you need (cite, url, date, text, votes, stars,...) and echo them the way you need :

foreach($pages->find("template=yourTemplatewithComments") as $pageComment){
    foreach($pageComment->get('comments') as $comment) {
        if($comment->status < 1) continue; 
        //get what you need
        $cite = htmlentities($comment->cite);  
        $commentUrl = $comment->url;
        $date = date('m/d/y g:ia', $comment->created); // format the date
        $text = htmlentities($comment->text);
        // do something
    }
}

Let me know if that works for you

[Chandini]

thank you for your kind reply.. I am using the same code as above. but the problem is it will output all comments if the first page, then all comments of second page as like that..

this will not generate a output which is of the order of latest comments.. irrespective of the page of same template.

 

[marie.mdna]

$comments = $this->wire('modules')->get('fieldtypeComments')->find('text~%=., limit=20'); 
foreach($comments as $comment) {
// do something
}

Oh I see! Maybe you can try something like this, but you might have to put a limit (see this for reference https://processwire.com/api/ref/fieldtype-comments/find/ )

how to get the "featured" comments for a particular $page

[Chandini]

hi friends, I am trying to paginate the comments, below is my code

$limit = 3;
$start = ($input->pageNum-1) * $limit; 
$selector = "template=gallery, sort=-created, start=$start, limit=$limit"; 

$comments = FieldtypeComments::findComments("comments", $selector);
print_r($comments);

echo $comments->render();

if($input->pageNum > 1) echo "<a href='./page" . ($input->pageNum-1) . "'>Back</a> ";
if(count($comments) > $limit) echo "<a href='./page" . ($input->pageNum+1) . "'>Next</a>"; 

this render the comments but there is no next page link showing.

print_r shows there are 8 comments

ProcessWire\CommentArray Object ( [count] => 3 [total] => 8 [start] => 0 [limit] => 3 [pager] => 1 to 3 of 8 [items] => Array ( [Comment:0] => 163 [Comment:1] => 162 [Comment:2] => 161 ) [extraData] => Array ( [selectors] => ProcessWire\Selectors Object ( [count] => 4 [items] => Array ( [SelectorEqual:0] => Array ( [field] => template [operator] => = [value] => gallery [string] => template=gallery ) [SelectorEqual:1] => Array ( [field] => sort [operator] => = [value] => -created [string] => sort=-created ) [SelectorEqual:2] => Array ( [field] => start [operator] => = [value] => 0 [string] => start=0 ) [SelectorEqual:3] => Array ( [field] => limit [operator] => = [value] => 3 [string] => limit=3 ) ) [string] => template=gallery, sort=-created, start=0, limit=3 ) ) )

please help

Thank you
