Comment popup - reload after comment.

[winklebleck]

I just spent a good chunk of time trying to get comments popoup to refresh after someone posts.

I tried various onload comands, and could not get any to work.

Assistance???

PS If you (pixelpunk) realyy ran for pres as promised on line 289, I'd vote for you.

ROFL, don't read the code, it's not good for your health

Do you want an immediate re-direct or what are you after?
Have you tried meta-refresh in the comment_template.html ?

To get an immediate redirect.
Find

if(($parent_id != "") and ($message != "")) {
	$query = "insert into ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."comments(id,parent_id,datetime,ip,message,name,url)
	VALUES('NULL','$parent_id','$datetime','$ip','$message','$name','$url')";
	$result = mysql_query($query);
	}

Add immediately before the }:

header("Location: index.php?popup=comment&showimage=$parent_id");
exit;

It should work.

I don't have time to test it right now, but what I am looking for is After someone enters a comment, rathere than going to the "thank you blah....." page is refreshes the comments to show what they just added. Whilst testing I was trying to mantain error checking.

I tested the code, no change seemed to be aparent, just stayed at confirmation page.

I tried meta refresh with

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=index.php?popup=comment&showimage=$parent_id'>$lang_comment_redirect">

but it is not replacing the values to create the correct url.

How is it done when the comments are not in a popup window, it shows the added comment instantly?

It's the same routine without the popup.
The header(Location thing should really work.

Find line 585 in main index.php, add a meta-refresh there and see if that'll work.

thats where i have it, but it reloads and says "comming soon!"

is the above meta code right? or should it be formatted differently.

[pixelpunk]

If it says "Coming Soon!" I would guess the image id don't get passed back to the script for some reason.

I can look up this "later", today I think I'm rather busy at work, unfortunately.
If you are somewhat savvy you can try and find out why the $parent_id is blank in that particular statement, or if it ain't blank then something is wrong in the url.

I've been testing, and can't seem to find it.
