Comments Listing should be a custom list rather than using search
For some reason when i listed the comments under posts on this site, i used the search function and then searched for the related uid, which maybe was easier at the time than adding an additional category to search.
When I did this it also recorded the uid in the search results which is annoying.
Now i need to change the list order on the comments and i cant as it will effect search so i need to redo it now anyway. So i should have just added an additional list type in the first place.
Current Search Code
PHP
if($comments_view_enabled) {
/* rather than doing a search here it should be doing a comment list */
$comments_list = $comments->list_all(
$start = 0,
$max = 200,
$list_type = "search",
$template_file = "related_discussions-full-list-item.html",
$search_term = $class->uid
);
//$template->set("related_discussions",$related_discussions);
$page_content .= $comments_list;
}
Added a custom list, not sure why i didnt just do this, as its quite easy.
PHP
if($list_type == "comments") {
$sql = "select * from $db_table_name where linked_uid = '$search_term' order by insdate asc limit $start,$max";
}
then just changed the listing type to comments rather than search
PHP
if($comments_view_enabled) {
$comments_list = $comments->list_all(
$start = 0,
$max = 200,
$list_type = "comments",
$template_file = "related_discussions-full-list-item.html",
$search_term = $class->uid
);
$page_content .= $comments_list;
}
