Any way to index all Comments...

columbusman · 09-13-2008, 02:22 AM

Well I have had many requests to see all comments left instead of seeing only a few like in the most commented tabs, so I created a page and then a frame that shows the last 200 comments...

What I want to do is have people see all comments and they could select a page... here is the code..

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="{VIVVO_LANG}" xml:lang="{VIVVO_LANG}">
	<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}system/html_header.tpl" />
	<body id="layout_two_column">
		<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/header.tpl" />
		<div id="container">
			<div id="content">
				<div id="dynamic_box_center">
					<div id="box_center_holder">
						<vte:if test="{PAGE_TITLE}">
							<h1>
								Last 200 <vte:value select="{PAGE_TITLE}" /> left by visitors, members
							</h1>
						</vte:if>
						<div><vte:box module="box_comments">
							<vte:params>
								<vte:param name="search_limit" value="200" />
								<vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="created" />
								<vte:param name="search_order" value="descending" />
								<vte:param name="cache" value="1" />
							</vte:params>
							<vte:template>
								<vte:if test="{comment_list}">
									<div class="comments">
										<div id="latest_comments">
											<vte:foreach item = "comment" from = "{comment_list}">
												<div class="single_comment">
													<div class="comment_header">
														<img src="{comment.get_gravatar|24}" alt="avatar" width="24" height="24" />
														<vte:if test="{comment.get_www}">
															<a href="http://{comment.get_www}" target="_blank"><vte:value select="{comment.get_author}" /></a>
															<vte:else>
																<strong><vte:value select="{comment.get_author}" /></strong>
															</vte:else>
														</vte:if>
														<vte:value select="{LNG_ARTICLE_COMMENTS_POSTED_ON}" /> 
														<vte:value select="{comment.get_create_dt}" />
													</div>
													<div class="comment_body">
														<a href="{comment.get_article_href}"><vte:value select="{comment.get_summary}" /></a>
													</div>
												</div>
											</vte:foreach>
										</div>
									</div>
								</vte:if>
							</vte:template>
						</vte:box>
						</div>
					</div>
				</div>
				<div id="dynamic_box_right">
					<div id="box_right_holder">
                    	<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}{VIVVO_LOGIN_TEMPLATE}" /> 
                        <br />
						<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/tag_cloud.tpl" />
					</div>
				</div>
			</div>
			<div id="footer">
				<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/footer.tpl" />
			</div>
		</div>	
	</body>
</html>

I also want to know if its possible to group each comment by IP so that way they are shown by who left them all... meaning if someone used 4 different names it will group them all together by IP so noone can be funny... and act like someone different....

Hope you can help...

I'm not so sure about grouping comments by IP, but it sure sounds like a good idea

Now for the other thing, I would suggest that you try modifying this widget:

Just instead of articles, you load a comment list.

I will give it a shot, and thanks again...

Yes if we are to group them by IP then we would cut down on the crap comments where they think they are being smart and tricky...

columbusman · 09-15-2008, 01:33 AM

Code:

<vte:params>
								<vte:param name="search_limit" value="200" />
                                <vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="ip" />
								<vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="created" />
								<vte:param name="search_order" value="descending" />
								<vte:param name="cache" value="1" />
							</vte:params>

OK now I have this working to my goal, but If I remove the search_sort_by" value="created" it groups them, by IP (in bold above) but I also want to group them by when the comment was created...

I know there has to be a trick... any words of wisdom..?

Also once this is solved would it be just a tad of CSS coding to separate out the groups by color...

Thanks in advance... were almost there...

Hmmm, fishing in dark here, but have you tried comma separated values?

Code:

<vte:param name="search_sort_by" value="ip,created" />

It might work.

columbusman · 09-15-2008, 07:52 PM

It worked... YOU'RE THE MAN....

Now how bout some CSS... is there a way to code each group with color... ???

Micha · 09-16-2008, 08:22 AM

Cool!

Ok, now, you need to explain me a little bit more on what groups you need to stylize with CSS.
Perhaps URL of your site would be helpful so I can see the code and maybe work something out.

columbusman · 09-16-2008, 04:34 PM

I was wrong... it didnt work... it looked like it but they commented in a row... it doesn't group them... Didn't mean to shatter ya... I will work on it a touch more... its 11:35am here and I am sure our time difference is off... so I will come back... and let ya know...
