Comments Refering Page

[lawrencejay]

Hello,

I am wondering how I might change the default refering page once someone leaves a comment.

For example say I would like to have them transfered to a different URL, how might I achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any input.

If you dont know how to do it - better dont do it!!

If you want make some experiments:
/index.php lines 934-947 says what is displayed/what should be done after comment submition.

Maybe it could be another template page, cos it's can be slightly odd that you can template all of the site, except one page. I think.

*waits to hear you can easily change the look of that page* :lol:

No you can change the look of it. You can have a comments_template.html which is what I use for my site. But the actual handling of the comment submission is done in the index.php file I believe.

search for the string:

<?php
echo "$lang_comment_thank_you<p />$extra_message";
if(!$_GET['popup']) {
echo "<a href='index.php?showimage=$parent_id'>$lang_comment_redirect</a>";
} else {
echo "<a href='index.php?popup=comment&amp;showimage=$parent_id '>$lang_comment_redirect</a>";
}
echo "</body></html>";
}

I believe you can change the rederict by changing the line <a href='index.php?showimage=$parent_id'> to whatever target you want.

Now what I want to know is how do I just close the window? I'm using a comment popup and I'd like to be able to just close the window.


edit: nm, I got it working so it self closes. Whee javascript.
