Comment Hooks

[jane_l 3]

Are there any other hooks for comments? Because I am trying to get something to show up inside the individual comment loop and I tried using "pagelines_inside_bottom_pl_comments" and "pagelines_after_pl_comments" but both hooks put the function after the comment input box. I looked at the additional hooks but none of them pertain to the comments. Help? You can see the "Edit" link underneath the comment box here: http://dearauthor.com/book-reviews/overall-a-reviews/a-minus-reviews/review-a-night-of-scandal-by-sarah-morgan/

you would have directly edit the template for comments if you want a more specific injection of code. In your child theme you'd need to create your own comments.php file and also add a file called template.comments.php with this in it ` global $post; comments_template(); `

Where do I find the comments.php array? I want to keep the same styling but just add a php link.

[timlinson 3]

comments.php is a file located in the first level of the platformpro folder.

Right, but it just calls to the wp comments list

<ol class="commentlist">
					<?php wp_list_comments(array('avatar_size' => 45)); ?>
				

Is there some special pagelines comment code or is it standard wordpress stuff? I.e., I can just replace that with:

<div id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" class="comment-body">
	        	<div class="comment-body-inner">
	        		<div class="comment-avatar">
						<?php echo get_avatar($comment, $size = '45', $default = get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/images/default-avatar.png' ); ?>
	                </div>
	                <!-- END avatar -->
						<div class="comment-author vcard">
					<?php printf(__('<cite class="fn">%s</cite> <span class="says">says:</span>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?>
				</div>
	            <!-- END comment-author vcard -->
				<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
					<?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.') ?>
	
				<?php endif; ?>
	
				<div class="comment-meta commentmetadata">
					comment_ID ) ) ?>"><?php printf(__('%1$s at %2$s'), get_comment_date(),  get_comment_time()) ?>
					<?php edit_comment_link(__('(Edit)'),'  ','') ?>
				</div>
	            <!-- END comment-meta commentmetadata -->[/code]

Have you tried using the core comments filters? http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference#Comment.2C_Trackback.2C_and_Ping_Filters

Actually, I think what I need to do is replace the wp_list_comments() function call in the comments.php file akin to what is suggested here.

I see those tutorials do not have dates, that one is replacing the old comments method, I think it was 2.8 or 2.9 the comments loop was refined and the main reply section was handled in wordpress core. So you would be taking a step backwards. What exactly are you trying to insert and where?

[jane_l 3]

I was trying to insert some php code so that my users could edit their comments (I don't want to use AEC bc that is a bloated plugin). In the end, I used the code suggested here and it worked perfectly. The other link had you create a php file, but it is better to insert the function code in the function.php file. Thanks for trying to help. At least you led me in the right direction.
