Hello Flynn,

I have problem with the new version of Atahualpa (v3.3.2).

At the moment I am using version 3.2 (see http://www.veilchen-blog.de).
Now I have uploaded v3.3.2 and take a look at the preview version.

Only some articles are activated for comments, but with the new version, on the homepage the footer of the article summary are always shown "Kommentar schreiben" ("Write a comment")...

Is it a bug? Where is the problem?

The link for my preview is:
http://www.veilchen-blog.de/?preview...t=atahualpa332

I hope you can help me.

Thank you
Sven

Your individual setting are probably not passed to the previewed version. It is probably showing the default settings which is to show the comments link on the Homepage, too.

Hi,

now the new version is activated, but the footer's are still wrong, all articles have the text ("Kommentar schreiben")...

Hey Flynn,
do you know where the mistake could be?

Check your settings at Theme Options -> Post / Page Info Items

Sorry for annoying,

but it doesn't work until now. I reset the settings for "Post/Page Info Items", but in the footer is still written "Leave a comment" for all items!?!? But thats wrong

thx Sven

What do you have at
Theme Options -> Post / Page Info Items -> FOOTER: Homepage

this is the text in FOOTER: Homepage

%date('F jS, Y')% | %tags-linked('Tags: ', ', ', ' | ')% Category: %categories-linked(', ')% | %comments('Leave a comment', 'One comment', '% comments', 'Comments are closed')% %edit(' | ', 'Edit this post', '')%

here is a screenshot. The content is the standard text after resetting:

Delete this:

| %comments('Leave a comment', 'One comment', '% comments', 'Comments are closed')%

Sorry,
ich glaube wir reden/schreiben etwas aneinander vorbei . Deshalb jetzt mal meine Frage bzw. das Problem nochmal auf deutsch geschrieben.


Also, mit der alten Version vom Theme hat es soweit alles ganz toll geklappt. Ich habe bei einigen Artikeln die Kommentarfunktion deaktiviert und bei einigen die Funktion aktiviert, sodass die User dazu ihren Kommentar schreiben können/sollen.

Seit dem ich aber die aktuellste Version des Themes aktiviert habe, steht bei jedem Artikel "Leave a comment" obwohl das ja eigentlich nicht richtig ist es soll ja so wie mit dem alten Theme sein, das bei denen, wo die Kommentarfunktion aktiviert ist, "Leave a comment" steht und bei denen, wo es deaktiviert ist soll "Comments closed" stehen.

Wie bereits geschrieben habe ich die Settings für die Rubrik "Post/Page Item Infos" geresetten, aber weiterhin wird überall "Leave a comment" angezeigt

Ich hoffe jetzt ist es etwas verständlicher, wo mein Problem ist gerne kannst du mir auch eine PN zu der Sache schicken.

Vielen Dank für deinen schnellen Support (echt spitze!!)
Gruß Sven

Hey Flynn,

please take a look at this posting:

Thats the same problem which I have

Looking into it

Hi,
for your information: I installed the version 3.3.3 but the same problem.

I also tried to reset the Theme Options with the button "Reset ALL Theme options", but no chance - same problem.

When you need any help to reproduce the problem, please send me a personal message. We also can chat over ICQ. I would like to help you.

Hey Flynn,

do you found the bug?

I also tried to install a new test-system (wordpress 2.7.1 included Atahualpa 3.3.3 without any plugin). Although the bug is available...

Is it possible that you forgot an if-statement to check if the option (Settings - Discussion - "Allow people to post comments on the article") is set? I think that is the reason, because this is the option which I have disabled - so all articles which I will publish are comment-disabled. Only if I really want comments to a special article I use the option "Add new article - Discussion - Allow comments on this post").

Same problem with WP 2.8.4 and Atahualpa 3.4.1

I believe this is related to the version of WP not Atahualpa. I just tested it with
WP 2.7.1 Atahualpa 3.3.3, 3.4.2 - > issue shows up
WP 2.8.4 Atahualpa 3.3.3, 3.4.2 - > no issue

So if all the hacking of earlier versions of WP weren't enough to make you upgrade...

Sorry but your answer is not clear for me.
The newest version of Wordpress and Atahualpa are installed.

But my problem is still available

Ok, let's review it.

In WP 2.8.4,
1) you go to WP->Dashboard->Settings->Discussion->Default article settings - and uncheck 'Allow people to post comments on new articles'
2) you add a new post and make sure that at the bottom of the page 'Discuessions: Allow comments on this post' is unchecked
3) you go and view the post and it does not say 'comments are closed'

Is this what is happening?

When I do this I get the 'comments are closed'

Yes, thats right. I've done everything

BUT! you can take a look on my test-installation:
--> http://veilchen-blog.de/testing/

There you can see the problem... the text "Leave a comment" is wrong, in the previous version it was not there when comments are closed. I hope you understand my problem now

here is a screenshot of this problem:
http://veilchen-blog.de/testing/screenshot.jpg

It would be better when in the footer stands "Comments closed" or something else, but it is confusing for users when they click on "Leave a comment" and on the next page they see the text "Comments closed".

Ok, (you quite sure your not on WP 2.7.x?)

Please do the following - edit bfa_postinfo.php and go to line 350. You should see a comment at that line '// Comment link'. Add teh following code right before the 'IF' statement on line 355

        echo '* * * BFA->comment_matches=>'.print_r($comment_matches).'<=* * *<br> ';

this will dump the array that makes up the comment code and allow me to see what is happening a little more.

I've done that. Please take a look at http://veilchen-blog.de/testing

edit bfa_postinfo.php and find the following line
in ver 3.4.2 it is line #355
in ver 3.4.3 it is line #351

		if ( !comments_open() AND $comment_matches[8] == "dontshow" ) { 

and change it to this

		if ( !comments_open() AND $comment_matches[8] == "Comments are closed" ) { 

Oh juggledad I think that was the reason of this bug.
Thats no bug of the Atahualpa theme? I think so.

Last question: is your realname JTM?

Actually this isn't the correct fix. This is a bug that was introduced between 3.2 and 3.3. the fix I gave you will only work if you don't change the 4th parameter in the comments syntax at ATO->Edit POST/PAGE INFO ITEMS - if you change it from 'Comments are closed' the error will pop back up.

I'm still looking for the 'correct' solution

My initials are PMW

ok, the entire fix is in this post http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...5584#post15584
