How can I Add Comment #NUMBER ?

Posted by Rosamunda on June 16, 2006 at 3:24am

I´ve seen in a lot of sites (and I want to emulate them :-) that the comments are numerated. In example:

#1
Comment by Andy on Sat. 14.02.2006
bláh bláh

#2
Comment by Samir on Sat. 14.03.2006
bláh bláh

#3
Comment by Andreas on Sat. 20.03.2006
bláh bláh

And so on and on...

How can I do that?

I know that maybe I solud add/modify something at the comment.tpl.php template... but what??

Thanks in advance!!!

It does not work for the 2nd

Posted by zigma on July 18, 2006 at 7:24am

It does not work for the 2nd page. It seems $id is initialized for each page. Therefore on 2nd page and thereafter $id does not reflect correct comment number.

Has anyone been able to get this working?

Same here... Wow, this is

Same here... Wow, this is pretty old, as with the bug of permalinks on pages other than the first; that one's 3 years old. What the hell man...

Would like a fix for this please. :)

ID by date

Posted by justin3 on February 12, 2008 at 5:03pm

another prob is that the comment # is not ordered by date, but by how it's listed on the page. For instance, this would be the 5th comment posted, but since it's a reply to a higher comment, it shows up higher and would print $id would show as comment #4 ....

well not exactly on this thread because all the comments are replies, but on other pages the prob materializes

Yeap! Keeping this alive to see if someone can help about the second page issue...
And how it would be with 5.x ...

Solution for Drupal 5

Posted by kayceedub on September 13, 2009 at 8:22pm

Reusing some of the code from that Drupal 6 thread, I put the following in my comments.tpl.php file (for my Drupal 5 site):

At the top:

<?php
  if (!empty($_GET['page'])){
      $commentsPage = $_GET['page'];
    $comments_per_page = _comment_get_display_setting('comments_per_page', $variables['node']);
    $commentID = $commentsPage * $comments_per_page + $id;
     
  }else{
      $commentID = $id;
    
  }
?>

Then to call the number in your template:

<?php

     print $commentID;
?>

I know it's not ideal to put that first php part into the template but i wasn't able to get template.php to utilize the $id variable.

Hi,

I can't understand the script - I don't know any php.
It appears that this would be fine with flat comments and work across comment 'paging'.

But would it work with threaded comments?
Is numbering only really practical with flat comments?
