Introduction

A default Pixelpost installation uses list items for displaying comments. Because I wanted something more exciting and more flexible I wrote this addon.

It needs two template HTML files, one if there are comments and one for if there are no comments on a picture. Besides the full flexibility introduced by this addon it has also full support for gravatars.

Release notes:

Currently this addon is still in its beta-stage. The main reason for keeping it in beta is because I haven’t found the time yet to whip up a decent manual.

By downloading this addon you agree to the disclaimer.

Yeah, I use it on my blog. It has gravatar support among other things. It also enables me to style the date like I do on my blog.

Hi,

I have tried this solution but nothing shows up. Is it right that i can change the name of the template files in the admin section? Can you give me a step by step solution?

thanks!

Dennis | January 14, 2009

@Steven: I cannot understand the problem you’re having. You need to replace the tags also in the image_template.html or where you want the comments to show up. I’m painfully aware the documentation isn’t really what it should be, but it would go way to far to include all that into the comments.

Dennis,

In the addon section of admin I have changed the name of the default comments page you placed there in image_template.html (= the normal startpage because i want to show the comments there). I have used your tags but nothing shows up. In the rendered htmlcode of the page the tags are written out as they are.

Pointing the commentspage to image_template.html doesn't make any sense. You

Dennis | January 18, 2009

Pointing the commentspage to image_template.html doesn’t make any sense. You need to write a custom template HTML file which contains the necessary HTML for displaying the comments.

For example: custom_comment_template.html
<div <IMAGE_COMMENT_CLASS>><img src="<IMAGE_COMMENT_GRAVATAR>" alt="Gravatar"> <span class="commentby">Written by: <IMAGE_COMMENT_NAME></span><br /> <p class="pcomment"><IMAGE_COMMENT_MESSAGE></p> </div>

For example: custom_nocomment_template.html
<div class="singlecomment"> <IMAGE_COMMENT_MESSAGE> </div>

If your blog is multilingual you can use for example the “alt_” prefix to translate the comment templates into another language.

Thanks, dennis, I allready find a way to show my comments

Steven | January 18, 2009

Thanks, dennis,

I allready find a way to show my comments by changing the original codefiles a bit. That is not an obvious thing to do but it works for me!

Hi I like this addon but the admin section doesn't work

Paul | January 31, 2009

I like this addon but the admin section doesn’t work in 1.7.1

Nothing I type in the boxes (eg, the default gravatar or its size) are saved so I’m stuck with the default settings which don’t work.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

Strange... this is the first time I've heard about this

Dennis | February 1, 2009

Strange… this is the first time I’ve heard about this issue. If you feel comfortable you can dive into PHPMyAdmin and change the values by hand in the corresponding table. I would love to find out what is causing this issue, so if you would be so kind to provide me with access to the adminpanel it would be appreciated.

Paul | February 24, 2009

Hi Dennis

I got it working. The version posted here (1.1) doesn’t work properly on Pixelpost 1.71 but version 1.0 (from the pixelpost addons site) works just fine.

Dennis | February 24, 2009

Funny, I’m working with both the latest development version of Pixelpost as well as the latest version of the addon. You would say I would have had the same problems, as well as several other people who use the addon on Pixelpost 1.71.

Paul | February 25, 2009

I hope you get it worked out. As a featured request it would be cool if there was also an option to highlight author comments and threaded comments a la WordPress 2.7.

Thanks for making such a cool addon!

Dennis | February 25, 2009

The version on my website does have the possibility to distinguish between admin comments and user comments.

Admin comments have a specific class: admin_comment, so you can style them accordingly. This is done based upon the admin emailaddress. In the setup this can be easily done by using the following tag:
<IMAGE_COMMENT_CLASS>

You can use it in your comments template like this:

<div <IMAGE_COMMENT_CLASS>> Put the rest of the code here </div>

This will produce a containerdiv which you can style accordingly for admin comments or user comments.

Pelar | April 1, 2009

Pooh, can’t get this one to work either. I’m also on 1.7.1 and tried the 1.0 as the 1.1 (above). Seems like the addon doesn’t create the table in mysql. Tried to make them on my own but that’s also not working. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I’m not working with a pop-up comment?

Any ideas on this one?

Pelar, please contact me about this. I use the same

Dennis | April 5, 2009

Pelar, please contact me about this. I use the same addon on Pixelpost 1.71 and it does work. I strongly suspect the lack of documentation to be the most significant problem in the use of this addon.

You’re aware you have to change template tags in order to get it working?

Thanks for the reaction Dennis but I got it to

Pelar | April 6, 2009

Thanks for the reaction Dennis but I got it to work. I was still playing with the 1.1 version and then tried the 1.0 again and that one finally did it for me. Still don’t know what’s the deal with the 1.1 version. Is it an idea to publish the 1.0 version on your website again?

And, documentation isn’t even needed, but I guess it would be nice to attach the nocomment and comment template to the .zip. Only thing people need to do is replace the .

Thanks for this one, Dennis. I’m glad I could use the googlemap addon and this addon.

Thanks for this addon, really has proved useful :-)

Got this little gem working, thanks for all your help Dennis.

This looks much better now as visitors can read the comments without having to open the popup window :)

I dont know how to do the formatting for my replies, but I will work it out :)

Again, thanks for a great addon!

Thanks Dennis

Right, I have the comment system working a treat, the only thing I am not so sure on is how to make MY comments/replies stand out, like you have on here.

Dennis | October 22, 2009

You can style them using CSS. If you use the template files you know what the HTML looks like. Throw some CSS in the mix and you can style them whatever you fancy.
