Hi -
Using v1.7.7 The MOD is operating perfectly and with some tweaking as Manwenzi indicated, got the look I wanted in my templates. I had previously installed the page comments and universal paging MOD's. At first I was troubled at not seeing the universal paging but I wondered if my few number of comments might be the cause. I only had 6 comments recorded and these were my comments_all.php settings:
# Comments per page : standard = 10 ; change through - $commentperpage = 10; -->12(default vs. what I had mine set at)
# Min. Comments per page : standard = 1 ; change through - for($i = 1; $i <= 20; --> 1
# Max. Comments per page : standard = 20 ; change through - for($i = 1; $i <= 20; --> 18
So I started pushing the comments and once I got to 13 comment recorded, yes my comment drop down menu appeared at the top and at the bottom although a little ungainly in appearance at the top with two bars and the first table bar directly below the lang_variable_text even though I have a <br /> character afterwards. It looks so sweet if the comment dropdown doesn't appear but once I push the comments to 13, it begins to look a little monstrous. I took Manwezi's code and changed it slightly:
<table width="828" border="0" cellspacing="12" cellpadding="0" class="maincat" >
<span class="title">{lang_all_comments}</span>
<hr size="1" />
{lang_variable_text}
<br />
{if paging}{if paging_stats}
<table width="828" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="head2">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="65%" class="row1" valign="left">
{paging_stats}
</td>
<td width="30%" class="row1" valign="middle" align="right">
{lang_com_per_page}
</td>
<td width="5%" class="row1" valign="top" align="right">
{commentsperpage_dropdown_form}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="head2">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td class="row1" valign="top" align="left">{lang_navigation}</td>
<td class="row1" valign="top" align="right">{paging}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
{endif paging_stats}{endif paging}
Has anyone finessed this paging code so you don't have two table bars right there at the top? Or at least made it a little more elegant as one piece instead of 2 table bars?
Thanks for all the work on the MOD. I read through all 17 pages of the comments and I see you incorporated a number of the suggestions in the MOD updates you created. It truly is hard to improve on perfection here!
