Comments on separate page from form

[mdrake]

How do I set the script so that the comments will display on a separate page from the form? I tired this on page two but it did not work.

<?php
define ('IN_COMMENTICS', 'true');
require "includes/db/connect.php";
require "includes/functions/page.php";
require "includes/functions/comments.php";
$page_id = "2";
$page_id = cmtx_sanitize($page_id, true, true, true);
echo cmtx_number_of_comments(10);
echo "<br/>";
echo cmtx_average_rating();
?>

Hi,

It's not really designed to be broken apart like that.

The best way might be to include the script like normal, but set a flag like:

PHP Code:

<?php
define ('SHOW_COMMENTS_ONLY', 'true');
$page_id = "1";
$reference = "Page One";
$path_to_comments_folder = "comments/";
define ('IN_COMMENTICS', 'true'); //no need to edit this line
require $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/commentics.php"; //no need to edit this line
?>

Then in /comments/includes/commentics.php:

Replace this:

PHP Code:

if ($settings->sort_order_parts == "1,2") {
    require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/comments.php"; //display comments
    echo "<div class='height_for_divider'></div>"; //display divider
    require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/form.php"; //display form
} else {
    require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/form.php"; //display form
    echo "<div class='height_for_divider'></div>"; //display divider
    require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/comments.php"; //display comments
} 


With this:

PHP Code:

if ($settings->sort_order_parts == "1,2") {
    require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/comments.php"; //display comments
    if (!defined("SHOW_COMMENTS_ONLY")) {
        echo "<div class='height_for_divider'></div>"; //display divider
        require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/form.php"; //display form
    }
} else {
    if (!defined("SHOW_COMMENTS_ONLY")) {
        require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/form.php"; //display form
        echo "<div class='height_for_divider'></div>"; //display divider
    }
    require_once $path_to_comments_folder . "includes/template/comments.php"; //display comments
} 


I haven't tested it so I can't say for sure whether it will work. I know there will at least be a problem with the reply link.
