Hey Nick,

I'm trying to place the story's link to the comment section in another spot (underneath the title) but I couldn't find it in the comments plugin templates. The 'submit_show_post_extra_fields' plugin hook in the 'submit' plugin looks like it's used for both comments and tags plugins but the template I'm trying to clone has them in separate spots.

Also, the story comment link in list.php of the submit plugin links to the story page which works fine but kinda useless on post.php (single story page) since it's the same page. Sooo for post.php change to something like:

<a href="#comments"> 3 comments </a>

Or something similar to the sidebar comment links e.g. #c1

A small HTML change in the template but can't find a comment only hook that will show the count.

Update: I think this is it in comments.php:

echo "<h2>" . $this->hotaru->comment->countComments(false) . "</h2>\n";

[Nick]

All right! (rubs hands together)

Two problems there. Let's take them backwards. First, the link that displays the comment count is hard coded into comments.php:

     /**
     * Link to comments
     */
    public function submit_show_post_extra_fields()
    {
        echo '<li><a class="comment_link" href="' . $this->hotaru->url(array('page'=>$this->hotaru->post->id)) . '">' . $this->hotaru->comment->countComments() . '</a></li>' . "\n";
    } 

So you're trying to skip that and directly pull in the comments. What you posted *should* work, but change your code to this:

echo "<h2>" . $hotaru->comment->countComments(false) . "</h2>\n"; 

The golden rule here is that templates are outside of the plugin class so they can't use $this. So use $hotaru in templates.

That should get you your comment count.

The bigger problem is how to split plugin hooks, and the answer to that is here.

Thanks, will try. Ahh yes documentation! . I feel like such a hypocrite since I gripe about people who don't search
