Comments Module - nothing appears on the page

[limestone]

Well, the thread title says it all, really.

I've

• Installed the module (both at home on my home test server and on the live server)
• Included the tag in a page (both with module="comments" and module ="Comments" (lower case c and upper case C - does it make a difference?))
• Cleared the site cache several times at various points
• Inserted the module tag with and without various parameters
• And configured cmsmailer, although that shouldn't stop Comments appearing on the page

and nothing shows up on the page or in the page source.

I have tried with Comments version 1.5 and CMSMS versions 0.13-beta4 at home and 0.12.2 on the live server. Neither works.

Am I doing something stupid or is there a problem?

does your tag look like...

{cms_module module='comments'}

yes it is upper/lower case sensitive, does it show up in the Extensions » Modules, did you go there and clik the install button then set the permissions...
just asking to be clear....
the mailer is only for alerting someone that there was a comment posted...
i've used the comment module a lot....

Just copy and pasted, then cleared site cache, then cleared Firefox cache, and tried it in a separate instance of IE, and still no good.

yes it is upper/lower case sensitive

Then forgive me, but shouldn't the 'module=xxxx' parameter reflect accurately the folder name of the module i.e. 'Comments'? (doesn't work either way, anyway). And do double or single quotes around parameter values have any effect? (Coz I've tried both "xxx" and 'xxx'.)

does it show up in the Extensions » Modules, did you go there and clik the install button then set the permissions

Yes to both.

Yes, I was aware of that.

In the combinations of versions I noted above?

comments 1.6 on CMS Made Simple 0.13-beta4 "Canary"  try this combo...
comments 1.5 on 0.12.2  or this with new comments 1.6

switched to com. 1.6 to get the ability to add it to modules/pictures/pages... etc.
i've hacked a couple things... like News into Blog and new templates for Album with comments on the pictures...
i'm actually having a little trouble with the 1.6 ver. on the Album page, comments don't seem to like 2 calls on the same page..

comments 1.6

Hmm, found this not on Forge - where did you get from ?

[Ted]

You can download the daily svn build of Comments.  I'll release 1.6 when 0.13 is released (today?).

yeah i was messing with the templates and it seems like the comments only like to be one add a comment per page.....

cyberman... i picked the svn for all the latest files ...and packed them up for download ...

OK those are fixed... but the Album is having trouble now.... i want people to be able to comment on an indivdual img. and have that comment stick to the img. so i used...
{cms_module module='comments' modulename='Album' pageid=$picture->id }
which works fine, but i had an Add a Comment at the bottom of the main view of the page of multiple albums so they could comment on that page about all of the albums like "nice bunch of albums" it works fine, and when they clik on an album to view the thumbs so they can clik the thumb to view a large img. the "nice bunch of albums" comment comes with it, but when they clik a thumb to view the big image which has Add a Comment at the bottom of it the comment "nice bunch of albums" comes with it and instead of showing "nice bunch of albums" i get an error...
"Add A Comment [ DB error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/24/d151200904/htdocs/lib/content.functions.php(653) : eval()'d code on line 12"

that Add a Comment is in the template as a diff. div....

       
    {cms_module module='comments' pageid=$entry->id}
   

wondering if i can use a diff. syntax to get them to play nice...
hope this is understandable... not too confusing...

I haven't tried it, but you could try replacing:

Code: Select all

        <div id="img2">
     {cms_module module='comments' pageid=$entry->id}
     </div>

with:

Code: Select all

<div id="img2">
     {cms_module module='comments'  modulename='AlbumIndex' pageid=$entry->id}
     </div>

I'm guessing that may work.

nope they still don't play nice...
i tried adding div#divname{display:none} into the Album template, and i get a smarty error saying smarty doesn't reconize the tag display:none

Try putting {literal} {/literal} tags around it. Smarty thinks {display:none} is a tag.

Just to bring this thread back to the original question - I have been doing some debugging.

It looks to me as if Modules/Comments/action.default.php procuces output on the page where the comments block is to be shown. This file does get processed but produces no output.

Any ideas?
