we are using JomComment. to get this message you must be running JomComment

there is an option to choose the Music Collection built-in comment engine. So, I don't understand why I should be using JomComment to have the message show up. Are you trying to upsell Jomcomment?

It wouldn't be hard to have the message showed up with the built-in comment engine.

Please help.

what? of course not! Im not trying to upsell anything!!!

I just said that this message does not appear on deafult built in comment system.

if you want to add is, I can guide you, its not much difficult, doing just some small addings on templates

Thanks for your clarification and apology for my misunderstanding.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could guide me.

Thanks,

open /components/com_muscol/views/album/ympl/default.php

try to search for this piece of code:

switch($this->params->get('commentsystem')){ 

some line below, you'll find this:

if($user->id){

well, what yo have to do is to add an "else" sentence after this IF is closed (do you know some PHP?). so, find the "}" closing bracket, and add this:

else{echo "Register to post comments";}

or any code you like

do you understand?

Thanks for your guidance. I was able to make it just like what I wanted thanks to you.

BTW, are you going to implement this to upcoming version 2?

Just some additional info:

To make it show that there are no messages yet and look like this on empty set:

Comments (0)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write Comments
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must be logged in to post a comment. Please register if you
do not have an account yet.

change the code for the else part to something like this:

From:

To:

And for the section above it to show there are 0 comments so far, you need to change the code few lines above, just below the default switch from:

To:

default:

The following inner foreach loop structure would still be fine with this change.


The code enclosure directive does not seem to escape the character well. Germi, I'll Email you the code segments if you could please delete this post and repost it with the update that include the codes. Thanks.

Hey all, I can't seem to find JomComment, and don't want to make the code changes to each of the possible views (artist/album/song). Is this ever going to be updated, or can somebody point me to where I can get JomComment?

Thanks!
