I was digging around and I believe I got without bugs..

in 9.9 You need to find and open up story.php in the root folder.

Onces opened find and locate.

// get all parent comments
	$comments = $db->get_col("SELECT comment_id FROM " . table_comments . " WHERE comment_link_id=$link->id and comment_parent = 0 ORDER BY " . $CommentOrderBy);

ADD This

// get all parent comments
	$comments = $db->get_col("SELECT comment_id FROM " . table_comments . " WHERE comment_link_id=$link->id and comment_parent = 0 ORDER BY " . $CommentOrderBy . "  LIMIT 5;");

That should do the trick change the number to whatever is the amount you want to display.


Then you might want to do the same with replys to comments so if you do..

find

// get all child comments
			$comments2 = $db->get_col("SELECT comment_id FROM " . table_comments . " WHERE comment_parent=$comment_id ORDER BY " . $CommentOrderBy);

and the same as above

// get all child comments
			$comments2 = $db->get_col("SELECT comment_id FROM " . table_comments . " WHERE comment_parent=$comment_id ORDER BY " . $CommentOrderBy . "  LIMIT 5;");

As I said before here u can do whatever Number to Display certain number of comments...

I hope this helps..

Goog Luck..

Cool solution, couple of qustions, will this work with plig 9.6, and have you any idea how to implement it so that it shows 5 comments initially and when you click on a "show me all comments link it displays all comments"

Actually I am wondering is it possible to have pagination on the comments and display 5 at a time?

[Geoserv]

I dont think that solution will provide the pagination that will be needed. I think all that is going to do is echo the first 5 comments and thats it.

We need to input the smarty for pagination in there somewhere.

I could be wrong. Will poke around.

Thanks for submitting.

yeap correct I did not test it with pagination..

Any pagination experts around?

P.S.: This should be part of the next release as a admin variable! A next step could be some kind of stop flag set by an admin to terminate comments individually per story.

[Geoserv]

This will call the pagination:

do_pages($rows, $page_size, "published");

I think the red part should be changed to "story" and not "published".

I haven't looked at the overall code that was provided above to see where to put this, but will later.

This was a blind post before testing, sorry. I don´t have enough comments so far to test pagination.

I discovered one side effect: Since it´s just a selection you can add new comments that appear at newest comments. But they aren´t readable since these links use story.php ,too. :-)


P.S.: manya1011, could you maybe help me to modify the SQL queries for this change (http://forums.pligg.com/pligg-tutori...html#post54557, just this post) ?
