This is a copy of the technical documentation.
found here : http://doc.b2evolution.net/0.9.0/evocore/Item.html#methodfeedback_link

wow - I've been using B2Evo for a couple years now and never found those docs ! I'm gonnna have a ball reading this - thanks much!

and now for my next dumb question - in which file is that set?

In your _main.php file ;)

Normally you will have something like this :

<?php $Item->feedback_link( 'comments' ) // Link to comments ?>

change the parameters with whatever you want (looking at the parameters in the tech doc offcourse.

Absolutely perfect! - thanks much.

:D

just an update for folks in here running v0.9.2

I found that you can edit the comment display line easily in this file: b2evocor/_class_item.php

this appears at line 730:

				if( $title == '#' ) $title = T_('Display comments / Leave a comment');
				if( $zero == '#' ) $zero = T_('Leave a comment');
				if( $one == '#' ) $one = T_('1 comment');
				if( $more == '#' ) $more = T_('%d comments');
				break;

change it to this:

				
				if( $title == '#' ) $title = T_('Display comments / Leave a comment');
				if( $zero == '#' ) $zero = T_('Leave a comment');
				if( $one == '#' ) $one = T_('Leave a comment - 1 comment');
				if( $more == '#' ) $more = T_('Leave a comment - %d comments');
				break;

There is no need to hack the item class, if you take a look at the code for the function it shows you how to achieve the same effect without hacking :-

	/**
	 * Template function: Displays link to feedback page (under some conditions)
	 *
	 * {@internal Item::feedback_link(-)}}
	 *

	function feedback_link( $type = 'feedbacks', $before = '', $after = '',
													$zero='#', $one='#', $more='#', $title='#',
													$use_popup = '#',	$hideifnone = '#', $mode = '', $blogurl='' )

ie/ change skins/<skin name>/_main.php :-

$Item->feedback_link('feedbacks', '', '', 'Leave a comment', 'Leave a comment - 1 comment', 'Leave a comment - %d comments', 'Display comments / Leave a comment' );
