The following piece of code does not filter out the comments by channel; it displays all the comments from all the channels. Also, even though I have specified a descending sort by date, it lists the oldest comments first. Am I doing anything wrong or is there a bug in the code?

Thanks

{exp:comment:entries channel="blogs" limit="50" sort="desc" orderby="date" dynamic="off"}
”{exp:trunchtml chars="30" inline="..." }{title}{/exp:trunchtml}” by {name} on {comment_date format='%m/%d'} at {comment_date format='%h:%i %A'}{exp:trunchtml chars="50" inline="..." }{comment}    {/exp:trunchtml}
{/exp:comment:entries}

Is this code on a single entry page? Also, is the code above inside an exp:channel entries tag?

Hi SunCSeeker,

As Jason has asked, where is this code in relation to other code on your template? Also, which version of EE are you using?

Cheers

@Jason, thanks for the help.

This code is inside a snippet. This snippet gets included in a single as well as in a multi-entry page. The multi-entry-page lists up to 50 of the latest blog entries; the single-entry list a particular blog along with all its replies.

The code is not inside an exp:channel entries tag.

Hi, SunCSeeker.

Taking snippets out of the equation for the moment - what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Can you give me a sample URL where this code is going to be running?

{exp:comment:entries channel=“blogs”  limit=“50” sort=“desc” orderby=“date” dynamic=“off”}

The above mentioned code is supposed (as per documentation) to return the comments for the specific channel viz., blogs; but it does not do so. It returns the results for all channels in the system. Sounds to me like a bug.

Try setting dynamic=“no” instead of “off”.

Hi SunCSeeker,

Can you please clarify which version of EE you are using?

Cheers

Greg

I am having this exact same issue. Comments with dynamic=“no” gives me all comments and order/sort/channel are all ignored.

Is this a known bug?

SunCSeeker and Brad,

Which version and build of EE are you using?

Current version of EE 2.1.3. I couldn’t make it work, was forced to use a standard query.

Brad

Hmm, how about you, SunCSeeker? Version and Build?

Super simple to reproduce. Blank install 2.1.3 add comments. In the root stick the tag, make dynamic=“no”.. Everything stops working, sort, order, channel…

Brad

When you say in the root, do you mean from a single entry template?

Sorry, that is just Parscale talk… I mean a single template…
