Newbie here, help with some Wordpress theme code please

MiaK · September 18, 2008

Hi there!

I recently switched to Wordpress and since then, I'm trying to get used to PHP, altough I don't know much about it.

Hope you can help me with this particular code.

I need to insert this fuction (it's a plugin function see here: http://www.cyber-knowledge.net/blog/2006/10/15/wordpress-plugin-rate-your-comments-comment-karma/ ) ck_display_karma(); inside the comments.php

It works great with almost all themes, but not with the one I'm using, wich is the Mandigo theme. http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mandigo - in that theme, comment.php is way too complicated for me, but anyways, I tried putting the code and cannot make it work.

These are the instructions for the ck_display_karma(); code:

Next depending on your theme you need to edit your comments theme file. You need to add ck_display_karma(); in your comment's for each loop. Look for "foreach ($comments as $comment)". You can insert it in that loop

and here's my comments.php code, where that function has to be inserted:

<?php
global $mandigo_options, $dirs;

/* do not delete these lines */
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
	die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

// if there's a password
if (!empty($post->post_password)) { 
	// and it doesn't match the cookie
	if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {
?>
		<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>
<?php
		return;
	}
}

/*
	if you really feel like it,
	you can start editing here
*/

// the post/page author
$the_author       = get_the_author();
$the_author_email = get_the_author_email();

// if there's at least one comment
if ($comments) {
?>
<div id="comments">
<?php
	comments_number(
		__('No Responses to ', 'mandigo'),
		__('One Response to ', 'mandigo'),
		__('% Responses to ',  'mandigo')
	);
?>
	&#8220;<?php the_title();?>&#8221;
</div> 

<?php
	// loop through comments
	// what we do here is process each comment, build <li> items, and separate real comments from trackbacks
	// we will display them later according to the chosen options
	foreach ($comments as $comment){

		// the comment id
		$id = get_comment_ID();  

		// a BIG sprintf, not for the faint of heart
		$comment_list_item = sprintf('
			<li class="clear%s" id="comment-%s">

				<div class="commenter%s"%s>
				%s
					<cite>%s</cite>
					%s
					<small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-%s">%s</a> %s</small>

							'/.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].+/',
							'\1',
							get_avatar(get_comment_author_email(), '36')
						)
						)
					: ''
				)
				: ''
			),

			( // 5th %s, animation link
				!$mandigo_options['disable_animations'] // if animations are not disabled

				? '<em>'. __('Your comment is awaiting moderation.', 'mandigo') .'</em><br />'
				: ''

			sprintf( // 9th %s, "which date at what time"
				__('%s at %s', 'mandigo'),
				get_comment_date(__('F jS, Y', 'mandigo')),
				get_comment_time()
			),

			( // 10th %s, the edit comment link, if appropriate
				function_exists('get_edit_comment_link') && current_user_can('edit_post', $post->ID)
				? ' - '. apply_filters(
					'edit_comment_link',
					'<a href="'. get_edit_comment_link($id) .'">'. __('Edit', 'mandigo') .'</a>',
					$comment->comment_ID
				)
				: ''
			),

			// 11th %s, the comment itself
			apply_filters('comment_text', get_comment_text())

		);  // end of big sprintf, phew!

Please, bear my English. If you need further info, please let me know. Thanks in advance

My guess is that you need to define ck_display_karma(); in another class, probably an existing one. Then just call it where you want it to show up in your forum. Pardon the syntax but something like:

$class_with_karma -> ck_display_karma();

Somewhere under the:

foreach ($comments as $comment){

Hope this helps.
