Using Recent comments problem with link to Comment.

1 Jul 16, 2005 00:14    

Why is this code causing the links to the comments to not be show on comments on posts where I had used the link to url?

See what is happening.
http://www.hopeontheweb.com/blogs
Service intrupton does not have any link to url, so its working like I want it to.

Any suguestions?


	<div class="bSideItem">
    <h3><a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'lastcommentsurl', 'raw' ) ?>">Recent Comments</a></h3>
  <ul>
<?php

   $CommentList = & new CommentList( $blog, "'comment'", $show_statuses,'','','DESC','',5 );
   $CommentList->display_if_empty( '<div class="bComment"><p>'.T_('No comment yet...').'</p></div>' );

   while( $Comment = $CommentList->get_next() )
   {   // Loop through comments:
      ?>
         <li><?php $Comment->author('','') ?> on <a href="<?php $Comment->permalink(); ?>" title="permalink to comment"><?php $Comment->Item->title(); ?></a>

</li>
<?php
   }
?>        </ul>

</div>

Sorry for the confusion in my post.

It works like I want it to on post that do not have a link to url. I was using service interuption as an example. I have take that post down but there is a post that says sneek peek. It does not have anything in the link to URL so it will take you to the comments when you click on the link next to the comments.

The other posts take you to the mp3 file I have listed in the Link to URL. So when you click on the link next to the place it says Name on xxxxxx it does not take you to that comment.

PS. If you go to my site and its down, try again in a bit. I am having intrmentid down time with my host right now.

you you'd like that every link is to your permalink-adres and not to the link that you put in as 'link to URL' ?

This is the URL to your permalink : <?php $Item->permalink() ?>

So if you use this inyour recent comments piece :
<a href="<?php $Comment->Item->permalink() ?>"><?php $Comment->Item->title( '', '', false ) ?>

it should work

Great, thank you. I used 

<a href="<?php $Comment->permalink() ?>"><?php $Comment->Item->title( '', '', false ) ?>

And it did exatly what I wanted it to do.

Now one more quiestion.

Is there any way to only display part of the title. For example I would ike to display

J Smith on Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
instead of
J Smith on First Take, Episode 16 - Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)

All the posts should start with "First Take, Episode XX - " so I have a specific number of spaces over I could start to display.
