I’m a EE-newbie an needed to figure out how to link to a recent comment entry (single entry w/anchor) from my default weblog index-site.
I searched throught the forum, wiki etc. and couldn’t really find a solution. Until I stumbled upon this entry in the comments user guide. It took a while for me, so I wanna share for anybody my solution especially if you’re a newbie.

here is now the code I use on my website and it works quite well:

From the weblog index:

From the comments page (same weblog):

The variable {count} counts the entries only on the comments page. The permalink adds the anchor id to each comment. so you can jump straight to it from any weblog.
If someone has any suggestions, let me know.

Hey there,

You need to utilise the comment ID variable. E.g.

Hope this helps

Hi Bobby McGee,

thank you for your reply. Yeah, you’re right. I have forgotten to set an ID for this entry.

But funnny is, that it works both ways. Because EE puts it self an #ID at the end of the URL if you use {permalink=”“}:

Cheers
Stefan

Glad to help

Oh, and also remember that the ID or name attribute cannot start with a number - so for shorthand you could just use c{comment_id}. That is, if you care about web standards, it won’t validate.

Oh, yes. You’re right! i use now: comment-{comment_id}

Cheers

very useful discussion - but i have some problem with it: i have pagination when there are more than 100 comments per page. how would i solve this? with the method described above i get a link to e.g.

but i needed

has anybody an idea how to solve this (perhaps with any conditional on the index-page?)?

thanks in advance

I’m also trying to figure this one out…how do you link from a different page (for instance, the home page) to a particular comment on a story when that story’s comments have been paginated.

Hi,

There is also a variable called “permalink” for exp:comment:entries. Try that. I have not used it myself.

inbetween i solved it this way:

in the right bar (permanently on every page) this code:

output: “John, 23.04. to <a href=”#”>Title of Entry</a>

on the single-entry-pages i use something like this:

limit=“100” - how much comments you want until the page breaks
div class=“kommentarautor” id=“c-{comment_id}” (#{absolute_count}) - this is the comment-id you link to with the above quoted ”{title_permalink=“group/template”}#c-{comment_id}”

good luck implementing it

So the problem is back:

i am really sure the way i pointed out above worked. now i checked my site and the pagination-issue doesn’t work anymore. i didn’t change the code. what i changed:

1. i upgraded to 1.6.3
2. i added the weblog=“weblogname”-parameter to the exp:comment:entries-tag.

so again i have exactly this problem i was talking some posts above in post #6

is there any hint or remedy?

just wanted to ask if anybody perhaps has a solution for this ...
