It has been discussed in an other tread but I enter my problem here insted.

Here is the deal: I don't get my comments to show on my page. Here are all the codes:

In guest.php on my webpage:

Code: Select all: <?PHP include 'admin/head.php'; ?> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>guestbook @ eldar.se</title> <link href="style2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body style="background-color:transparent; overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:auto"> <?PHP $category = "7"; $template = "guestbook"; include $cutepath.'/show_news.php'; ?> </body> </html>

In the plugin-page in cutenews.ru "Disable All Comments" are DEACTIVATED and "Enable/Disable Comments" are ACTIVATED. I also have checked the little box that belongs to the text "Allow comments?" in the news that I use as guestbook.

Code in the template "guestbook":

Active News:

Code: Select all: Blank

Comments:

Code: Select all: <div style="width: 415px; margin-bottom:8px;"> <div><strong>{author}</strong></div> <div style="padding:2px; text-align:justify; margin-top:3px; background-color:#bd773e; border-top:1px solid #000000; border-bottom:1px solid #000000; border-right:1px solid #000000; border-left:1px solid #000000;">{comment}</div> <div style="padding:2px; text-align:right; border-bottom:1px solid #000000; border-right:1px solid #000000; border-left:1px solid #000000;"><em>Comment number {comnum} was posted on {date}</em></div> </div>

Comment form:

Code: Select all: <table border="0" width="370" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td style="padding:2px;">Name:<br> <input type="text" name="name"></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:2px;">Mail:<br> <input type="text" name="mail"> (optional)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:2px;">Comment:<br> <textarea cols="40" rows="6" id=commentsbox name="comments"></textarea><br /><br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign Our Guestbook"> </td> </tr> </table>

Here is a link to my webpage: http://www.eldar.se Look at guestbook in menu.

Hope that someone can help me. I don't know what more information I need to provide.

Stupid question but do you have a news item in category 7?

I can't see any news here:

http://www.eldar.se/admin/show_news.php?category=7

You could also try to show a specific news not using a category.

Code: Select all: <?php $id = x; //x being the id of the news $template = "guestbook"; include('show_news.php'); ?>

Yes, category 7 is guestbook and I have one news-item in it (also called guestbook).

It works when I try to put the id instead for category. But then an other problem apears. I have 25 entrys (comments) in the guestbook but instead of paging the page it start the comments from the 11:th post and calls it number one and no paging apears. (look http://www.eldar.se) (so just 15 comments shows and they are numbers 1-15 instead for 11-25). Hope you understand what I meen when you check the page.

Another stupid question

Do you have Comments pagination plugin installed :?:

If yes, try to unistall it and then check the guestbook.

by **scottdallas** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 5:02 pm

Usually for a guestbook scenario I just use a cutenews 1.3.6 installation and dedicate it to a page by itself. No forced ad in that version. Does awesome comments and comment pagination and I just let it sit dedicated to that. That's just my 2 cents, I know you're doing it different, I just find cutenews.ru to be too difficult to use as a guestbook situation. As I see, you're not having the best time with it either.

Off course I have it installed, that is partly what this post is about. (sorry if I sound mad, that's not ment to be

) When i use the original show.comments.php the guestbook shows all the 25 posts but when I replace it with the show.comments.php that I got with the Comments pagination plugin it just shows the 15 last post and they are numberd 1-15 instead for 11-25 as they should be, and there is NO pagination.

That's an idea, but I really would like to only use cutenews.ru beacuse I like it so mutch better than CuteNews from CutePHP. And it feels a little bit odd or pointless to have two cutenews-systems installed. I used CuteNews untill I found out about CuteNews.ru and as you say, there were no problem with the pagination in comments there. But before I decide to use the drastic method that you mention I would prefere to find a solution to the problem in CuteNews.ru.

So, I say it again, anyone who has an other idea? And is it only me and scottdalas who has experient problems when using the cutenews.ru as a guestbook with pagination?

I have the same problem too.

Yesterday I tried to install this mod on my site and I noticed a few problems:

:arrow:

Numbers of comments starts always from number 1 - it doesn't matter which page of comments.

:arrow:

I can add comments pagination only "manually" in the .tpl file (not via admin panel) in section

Code: Select all: $template_cprev_next = <<<HTML {here_code} HTML;

Wrong links to the comments pagination. I change the path in show.comments.php in "Previous link" and "Next link section.

Finally I uninstall this mod

I guess, I'll have a closer look at this mod some time.

by **maqs** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 9:59 pm

That would be great.

Thank you.

I fixed the comments numbering bug.

And you have to open inc/mod/templates.mdu and change this twice (around line 388 and line 404):

Code: Select all: edit_ñprev_next

to this:

Code: Select all: edit_cprev_next

After doing this the changes in the comments pagination template finally are saved.

And open inc/functions.inc.php and change this:

Code: Select all: $query = cute_query_string($QUERY_STRING, array('category', 'skip', 'subaction', 'id', 'ucat', 'year', 'month', 'day', 'user', 'page', 'search', 'do', 'PHPSESSID', 'title', 'time'));

to this:

Code: Select all: $query = cute_query_string($QUERY_STRING, array('category', 'skip', 'subaction', 'id', 'ucat', 'year', 'month', 'day', 'user', 'page', 'search', 'do', 'PHPSESSID', 'title', 'time', 'cpage'));
