Reference comments to their origin
Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 8:27 pm
When using threaded comments in a blog, it can get messy. Especially if a lot of comments are posted within a short period of time, the comment thread gets really cluttered. It becomes difficult to follow which comment refers to which comment.
In s9y blogs, we do have a point of reference: our comment form usually includes a select box – {$commentform_replyTo} –, which basically provides the ability to reply to another comment.
Is this value ("comment, to which this comment is a reply") still accessible for comments already posted? I.e., is there a smarty variable which I could use to reference comments to their origin? Or is this just a temporary construct to get the proper nesting level for threaded comments?
