How to list users who flagged a comment in the body of the comment itself?

quicksketch, will try that later. For now I am quite satisfied with the one-less-module-involved result of a direct DB query:

  $query="SELECT name, users.uid AS uid FROM users INNER JOIN flag_content flag_content_users ON users.uid = flag_content_users.uid AND flag_content_users.fid = 3 AND flag_content_users.content_id = $comment->cid";
  $result=db_query($query);
     while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) { print '<a href="/user/'.$row['uid'].'">'.$row['name'].'</a>, ';   } 

Final problem here is to enable a user to see her/his name in the list immediately (via ajax for instance), but not only after reloading the whole page. I wonder If flags+views can do that? That is can flag module trigger loading a view into division immediately upon clicking the flag?

You need to add an argument for Comment: CID to your view, then in your comment.tpl.php use this code:

print views_embed_view('name_of_your_view', 'default', $comment->cid);

quicksketch, wanted to try this way, but unfortunately argument for Comment: CID is not available in views of User type. And we need to use User type views in order to get listed users' names under the comments. Is there any other way to use views?

Edit: Have figured out an argument "Flags: User's flagged content" instead works perfectly well. Thanks!

mooffie, thank you very much, everything worked out perfectly. Sorry for posting on the API page, thought that someone could be looking for the solution of the similar issue.

quicksketch, could you please explain is it possible to pass node->uid to the same view? My view is of User type, where node arguments are not available. Looked and couldn't find in the Relationship section also.

quicksketch, but my view is all about users who flag comments. If I switch to another type of View, then I will not be able to list users who flag comments. Look at the initial issue. I achieved almost everything, but the last final problem - to pass node details to the view. I really hope that there is some way to do it.

Edit: Tried with a view of Comment type. Alas, could not get users, who flagged comments, listed.

moofie, thank you for the detailed explanation. I tried both ways and, unfortunately, could not pass node->uid to my view. And I really need to pass node->uid together, as you correctly noted, with comment's ID. Why? Let me try to explain. A project that I am working on needs to display endorsers of the commets within such comments bodies (which is done by now) and in case if the node's author is among those endorsers - to make her/his name bold (strong). Imagine number of usernames who endorsed the comment and among them one in bold, and that will be the node's author's name.

So I have currently the view of comment type (switched from user type), which correctly gives me the names of endorsers and I pass to it (to the view) comments ID by putting the following code into comment.tpl.php: print views_embed_view('endorse', 'default', $comment->cid);

Now how can I make the same view to work with $node->uid? Is it possible to pass two arguments to one view?

Thanks a lot!

mooffie, your snippet first made a trick - it worked for the first comment flagged, but then I tried to flag another comment on the same page the class .author was gone for all the comments, so the node author's name everywhere became normal. It turns bold everywhere after manual refreshing the page. So my guess is that Views Flag Refresh, that you suggested me to use above (and I have successfully implemented it to load the view locally - it loads, but for all the comments on the page - of course, because it is in comment.tpl.php) catches $node only after reloading.

Works almost like desired, feels like some little trick is somewhere near. As I understand theme_username will attribute class .author for everywhere, right? Which is ok. But will Views Flag Refresh module take it correctly then?

Edit: I now paid attention to your words: "However, this won't work with AJAX (because there's no "current node" then)". So theme_username does not worth trying then. But I tried second way suggested and found out that it works, but the page have to be reloaded in order all the node author's name appearances to become bold.

yay, moofie, your #16 works like a charm. After finally reaching needed effect I am not that much eager to try method with initial PHP code, described in #17. Because, as you might have noticed I am not that much of a coder, but provided exact instructions can accurately follow them. And with PHP-code I am afraid for local loading part. Because with views I used Views Flag Refresh, but what about just PHP code? Is ti difficult to load it locally in comment.tpl.php? Will I need somehow team Views Flag Refresh to work with PHP code or will have to deal with javascript coding?

Thank you very much, moofie, I'll try it some time. For now I am quite satisfied with the result, and I hope your instructions on this thread will help other Drupalers too.

P.S. Completely out of scope of the thread's issue I started to wonder how much it is efficient for Views Flag Refresh in order to change a detail in one comment to reload comment.tpl.php for all the comments on the page. I know that to deal with a given Drupal comment separately, we have to have its own template file and to auto-generate separate template files for every comment in Drupal installation would be crazy. On the other hand I would like to believe there will be found some way to load Ajax only for given cid and not for all the comments.

I now see that there's another, relatively easy solution: copy 'flag.tpl.php' to 'flag--bookmarks.tpl.php' (in your theme folder) and put your PHP code (to list all the flagging users) there. This will work fine with AJAX. You'll probably want to use flag_create_link() (see our handbook) to put this link at a more comfortable (design-wise) spot.

Hi moofie,

Everything works fine since the issue was closed, but to have the best possible method I decided to try alternative method today. Per your instructions have copied flag.tpl.php from the module's directory to my theme directory as flag--bookmarks.tpl.php, put a test code <? print time(); ?> inside of "wrapper" span and tried to click on Endorse flag. Unfortunately, it did not pick up local template file. Have tried to clear cache, tried to rename it to flag--endorse.tpl.php, again nothing happened. What could be the reason, preventing for local (in my theme directory) copy of template file for the flag?

Trying this today, again. My flag is called 'endorse', so I renamed default template file to flag--endorse.tpl.php and put to my theme's directory. The test code proved right, so I placed my code instead of test code, but for some reason nothing came up.

I don't understand why this code works:

<span class="<?php print $flag_wrapper_classes; ?>">
  <?php if ($link_href): ?>
    <a href="<?php print $link_href; ?>" title="<?php print $link_title; ?>" class="<?php print $flag_classes ?>" rel="nofollow"><?php print $link_text; ?></a><span class="flag-throbber">&nbsp;</span>
  <?php else: ?>
    <span class="<?php print $flag_classes ?>"><?php print $link_text; ?></span>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if ($after_flagging): ?>
    <span class="flag-message flag-<?php print $last_action; ?>-message">
      <?php print $message_text; ?>
    </span>
  <?php endif; ?>

  <? print time(); ?>

</span>

but this one does not:

<span class="<?php print $flag_wrapper_classes; ?>">

  <?php if ($link_href): ?>
    <a href="<?php print $link_href; ?>" title="<?php print $link_title; ?>" class="<?php print $flag_classes ?>" rel="nofollow"><?php print $link_text; ?></a><span class="flag-throbber">&nbsp;</span>
  <?php else: ?>
    <span class="<?php print $flag_classes ?>"><?php print $link_text; ?></span>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if ($after_flagging): ?>
    <span class="flag-message flag-<?php print $last_action; ?>-message">
      <?php print $message_text; ?>
    </span>
  <?php endif; ?>

<?php
  $query="SELECT name, users.uid AS uid FROM users INNER JOIN flag_content flag_content_users ON users.uid = flag_content_users.uid AND flag_content_users.fid = 3 AND flag_content_users.content_id = $comment->cid";
  $result=db_query($query);
     while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) { print '<a href="/user/'.$row['uid'].'">'.$row['name'].'</a>, ';   } 
?>

</span>

Probably template file for the flag, even if it is called within comment.tpl.php, does not see variables of comment like $comment->cid? Any further comments or instructions would be appreciated.

Now this is cool. Works at the spot, much faster than before, especially on the pages where there are hundreds of comments. I am struggling now to get endorsers' names separately under the comments and not within links. Applying divs and spans with css, nothing helps - the names appear within the links, just after endorse flag. And what is worse endorse flag is not the last link, but somewhere in the middle.

Also improved the code per your instructions. Thank you very much!
