Hi.

Im having problems with the comments page. When i changed the option of my b2 blog to display 3 posts per page, my comments page also displays the comments for the past 2 days. I only want to display the comment for my most recent blog. How can i do this?

Thanks.

Ah, it looks like you have some weird looping problem, can you post b2comments.php here please? Thanks.

I noticed that when i changed the options to 1 post per page, it displays the comments for the most recent post; if i changed it to 2, it displays comments for 2 days; 3 posts per page and it displays comments for 3 days..

this is the source code for my b2commentspopup:

before head tag:
<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; ?><?php /* Don't remove this line, it calls the b2 function files ! */
$blog=1; include ("blog.header.php"); while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { start_b2();
?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

after body tag:
...
<?php
$comment_author = (empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["comment_author"])) ? "name" : $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["comment_author"];
$comment_author_email = (empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["comment_author"])) ? "email" : trim($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["comment_author_email"]);
$comment_author_url = (empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["comment_author"])) ? "http://url" : trim($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["comment_author_url"]);

$queryc = "SELECT * FROM $tablecomments WHERE comment_post_ID = $id AND comment_content NOT LIKE '%<trackback />%' ORDER BY comment_date";
$resultc = mysql_query($queryc);
if ($resultc) {
?>

<a name="comments"></a> <br />
<strong><span style="color: #0099CC">::</span> <font color="#66FF00">comments
on my blog</font><br />
</strong>
<?php // these lines are b2's motor, do not delete
while($rowc = mysql_fetch_object($resultc)) {
$commentdata = get_commentdata($rowc->comment_ID);
?>
<a name="c<?php comment_ID() ?>"></a>

<br>
<br>
<table width="90%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><table width="100%" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#FFCC66">
<tr>
<td><div align="center"><strong><span class="verdana75norm">
<?php comment_author() ?>
<?php comment_author_email_link("email", " - ", "") ?>
<?php comment_author_url_link("url", " - ", "") ?>
</span></strong></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div align="center"><img src="b2-img/spacer.gif"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFF00">
<tr>
<td><div align="center">
<span class="verdana75norm">
<?php comment_text() ?>
</span>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div align="center"><img src="b2-img/spacer.gif"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#FFCC66">
<tr>
<td><div align="center" class="verdana75norm">
<?php comment_date() ?>
@
<?php comment_time() ?>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>

<?php //end of the loop, don't delete
}

?>

thanks in advance.

Do you have this at the end of b2commentspopup.php?

sharmaine · Joined: 27 Oct 2003 Posts: 23

Opps I'm sorry. please allow me to repost my source:

epolady · Joined: 30 Jul 2002 Posts: 800 Location: Texas

Okay, try this, but don't forget to put in your own CSS, etc.
PLEASE make a backup of your current b2commentspopup.php before using this code!

okay ill try to use that code. ill post it whaever will happen. thanks.

sharmaine · Joined: 27 Oct 2003 Posts: 23

it's the same thing.

I'm thinking if you can post here the original, unedited code of b2template.functions.php

thanks.

epolady · Joined: 30 Jul 2002 Posts: 800 Location: Texas

I'm not sure what b2template.functions.php has to do with this problem, but to be honest, if I were you, I would re-download a fresh copy of b2, and edit & re-upload b2commentspopup.php.

Oh my gosh! So is that the only solution left for me?

Well, it's not that bad of a solution, you're just using a fresh b2commentspopup.php and adding in your codes.

Or if you want, you can compare a unedited b2commentspopup.php with your current b2commentspopup.php and edit the differences.

It's up to you.
