Add-On Type(s)
Plugin
Tags
A few helper functions to handle various cases with comments.
Usage
This plugin is used with the following tag pair:
{exp:jb_comment}
{if comments_state=='open'} THE COMMENTS ARE OPEN{/if}
{/exp:jb_comment}
The plugin has two conditional for your logic :
1) comments_open - A bool, _true_ if the comments are open, _false_ if not
2)comments_state - The specific state of the comments. Will return either _open_, _expired_, or _closed_.
The plugin follows the same logic as the standard comment module in Expression Engine, to determine the current entry id. If you find this not getting the correct entry_id (_as will happen occasionaly if you’re using an non-standard url structure_) you can optionally supply the entry_id manually:
{exp:jb_comment entry_id="{entry_id}}..
Example
I created this plugin to allow differing handling of the comments block depending on the specific circumstances. My specific usage would be as follows:
{exp:jb_comment entry_id="{entry_id}"}
{if comment_total>0 OR comments_state=='open'}
<div id="comments">
<h2>Comments</h2>
{exp:comment:entries sort="asc" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
<div class="comment">
<div class="meta">
<img src="/assets/images/gravatar.png" alt="" class="avatar"/>
<h3>{name}</h3>
<p class="date">on {comment_date format="%l %j%S %F, %Y"}</p>
</div>
<div class="comment_message">
{comment}
</div>
</div>
{/exp:comment:entries}
</div>
{if comments_state=='open'}
{exp:comment:form preview="weblog/preview" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
<h2>Have your say</h2>
{if logged_out}
<p class="note">Got something to say? Well excellent, share it with us by filling in this form!</p>
<fieldset class="your_details">
<h3>Your details</h3>
<label for="comment_name">
