[Solved] Comments Module - how to use it multiple times on one page

[Longwolf]

Hi,

I am currently using CMS MS 1.7, xampp 1.7.1, page: www.killercat.net

there I have pages with articles (not using the news module - only plain text & images)
for some pages, there are not only 1 but 2, 3 or more articles

I have added the comment module (1.9.2) and use it with the following code: {cms_module module="comments"}

If a page has now more than 1 article, I would like to be able to comment each article on its own
I have tried to add the code below each article of the page - but then all comments (for all articles of that page) are shown for each article
If possible, I would like to have the comments for each article only shown at the end of the article instead of currently all comments at the end of the page.
  is that possible - can that be done, using the "page id" parameter?
  or do I have to use the news module and link each comment directly to the news?

I don't use the CGFeedback Module, because I just needed a comment functionality and wasn't able to "reduce" that module to only display a comment with very little detail (not much information needed) --> but there I think I would have the same issue

do you have any ideas?

kind regards & Thanks in advance
Markus

Because you are not using News  (or any other) module your articles does not have ID in other words for CMSms they are not records of any sort, they are a set of paragraphs only.
Though you could make it look right with  CGFeedback - use 2 keys - $page_alias and "article name".

Real solution is to use News module, you will avoid a lot of issues in the future.

Hi,

that is correct - thoght it might be easier to do so (especially, as the website is structured in the menu) - I didn't want to add more complexity to it, as a friend of mine is writing & publishing the articles, who is not that familiar with the PC, ...

so I will try to change this to the news module --> thanks for the reply!

kind regards

Hi,

I just tried it with the news module but receive a (to me) strange Smarty Error:

string(126) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 2]: syntax error: invalid attribute name: '=' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1550)" string(131) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 2]: syntax error: invalid attribute name: ''News'' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1550)"

I updated to the latest Versions - see info below - so systemwise everything should be fine - or?

Longwolf,

how did you include news tag in your page/template?
Like {News}?
Error says there is invalid attribute name = and News, so this could be caused by some typo?

[Longwolf]

Hi Uniqu3,

I have used the following 2 Tags:

{news number='7' category="test_comment" }
{cms_module module='comments' modulename='News' pageid=$entry->id}

I have tried to locate the error a couple of times (found a similar issue in the french board - where the issue was, that the user had already PHP 5.3)
  what I found out is:
      if I use only {cms_module module='comments' modulename='news'} then I can at least read the articles and add a comment at the end of the page - same as with the next possibility
      if I use only {cms_module module='comments'}, then it works really fine - but of course there is only 1 comment possibility at the end of the page and not for every new article
      if I use the whole set, then also the page layout is gone

for each of the 3 variations I have created a own page:
  complete Tag: http://www.killercat.net/cms/index.php? ... mment-news
  Tag without pageid=$entry->id: http://www.killercat.net/cms/index.php? ... ent-news-2
  Tag without modulename='News' pageid=$entry->id: http://www.killercat.net/cms/index.php? ... ent-news-3

kind regards

Hi,

this
{cms_module module='comments' modulename='News' pageid=$entry->id}
should go in the Detail news template. If you simply use it on summary page or any other page with {news something} the comments module doesn't know what $entry->id is.

[Longwolf]

Hi,

after rethinking this sounds absolutely logical thanks for the hint
i'm just trying to fit this in (into the new "summary template") - struggeling a bit - but seems to be working

thanks for your help again!
