Hack - "# of comments total" in title 15 years 5 months ago #4478

Hello again....
 This one shows how many comments there are in total on the title bar. I think it's especially nice to have if you don't like the extended-info for the "Read More..." button. Here's a screenshot: 
Here's the code changes. On line 1860 of comment.class.php... $html = str_replace('{_JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE}', _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE, $this->_menu);/* Hack by JonusC - get the total number of comments */
$database =& JFactory::getDBO();
$com = $this->_component;
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM jos_comment WHERE contentid='$this->_content_id' AND component='$com' AND published='1'";
$database->SetQuery($query);
$number = $database->loadResult();
$html = str_replace('{_JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE}', _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE." (".$number." total)", $this->_menu);I don't know if that code is very good... i'm only new to this PHP language, but it shouldn't slow down the site much I hope... Daniel, I also wanted to add a feature of showing "Oldest First" or "Newest First" in the Comment title, but for some reason the if ($this->_sort_downward) statement always returned false no matter what  I have no idea why, could it be a bug or.......  here was the alternate code I was trying to use...if ($this->_sort_downward) {
$html = str_replace('{_JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE}', _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE." (".$number." total, newest first)", $this->_menu);
} else {
$html = str_replace('{_JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE}', _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_TITLE." (".$number." total, oldest first)", $this->_menu);

Hey JonusC,
I've added the comment number to one of the trunk revisions. compojoom.com/blog/8-news/81-some-improvements-.html You can check it  I think my implementation is a little bit better, because I'm not making any new database query.About the sort_dowward - I will have to check this. |
