How to place Related links block between node and comments
adrive - April 6, 2007 - 12:30
Hello, I would like to use related links which creates a block which can I place to Left, right, content, header, footer. This is not enough for me. I would like to have related links to article between my Node body and node comments.
How could I place some block there?
Thanks for any help!

Hum. Exactly the same
Hum. Exactly the same problem here, and finding a very dead thread about the issue.
Anyone have any suggestions? It seems that $content (in page.tpl.php) contains the HTML for the comments already, so its like that bit needs to get moved out to its own block.. but thats getting messy..
same query :)
same query for drupal 6 :)
D6 Version
I've made some progress on doing this using D6, although it's not yet perfect.
First, using the information in Define block region inside node.tpl.php ?, I was able to create a new "Before Comments" region and get the Block Admin interface to recognize it.
The problem remained that nodes put the body content and the comments into a single HTML string without providing a way of inserting anything into the middle of it. The Comment Display module took care of that, with a minor modification to page.tpl.php so that it will print $content, $before_comments, and $comments rather than just $content.
This works well enough in many cases, but there are some flaws:
1) Comment Display checks whether there are any comments and builds the HTML for them at a point when it's not able to add .css and .js files to the page output. This broke threaded comment displays and a few other things. Adding the lines
if (function_exists('comment_render') && $node->comment) {drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'comment') .'/comment.css');
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'comment') .'/comment.js');
drupal_add_js('misc/collapse.js');
}
to comment_display_node_show resolved these issues.
2) Even with all .css and .js in place, the collapsible sections in the node editing interface are still not working and I have not yet been able to resolve this issue. And, somehow, I have a feeling that, as soon as I do fix this, I'll stumble across something else it's broken...
But this does mostly work, in any case. If there's a better way to do it, though, I'm all ears.
