Cloning comments into 2 separate functions.

Hi everyone,

I want to use the Comments functionality in XOOPS for a second function separate from the traditional one, for my affiliate/e-commerce module.

How would I go about "cloning" the Comment system so that I can have it display differently, and use a different database table, so that I can use the same functionality in two places and have it appear two different ways?

Thanks,

~Jay

go thru the files and where you find things that are to do with comments, duplicate and change some of the names slightly.. it's not that simple a task tho, that's just a brief explanation..

you would probly need to create new classes and functions too, and forms etc.. definitely not a simple task to do and will take a lot of time.

good luck.

Alternatively, how could I create conditional statements that filter out what shows up in comment blocks and/or inline based on which module is calling them?

OK, here's the code I'm looking at:

<{foreach item=comment from=$block.comments}>
  <tr class="<{cycle values="even,odd"}>">
    <td align="center"><{$comment.title}>td>
    <td align="center"><{$comment.module}>td>
    <td align="center"><{$comment.poster}>td>
    <td align="right"><{$comment.time}>td>
  tr>
  <{/foreach}>


I want to start pulling the titles of the items that are being commented on up - how would i do this?

if i could filter out a block so it only displayed comments from one module that would work too.
