Hack to make comments per page persistent across pages

[se.nsuo.us]

One of the things which bugged me on the admin side was that the number of comments selected from the bottom did not persist across the pages for the session.

So I hacked support for the same into comments.php - What the hack baiscally does is puts the value into $_SESSION and uses it in subsequent calls.

See the code http://se.nsuo.us/contrib/comments.phps

OR if you just want to use it download the file below change .txt to .php and put it in your admin folder (remember to take backup of your original comments.php file)

me and connie actually had some trouble with comments.php after merging your version. i posted the newest cvs version (without your changes) in 'pumpgatan' so could you look at that version please? there might be some differences affecting it that i don't understand.

OK! I just downloaded the zip and modified the comments.php from that zip grab it from http://se.nsuo.us/contrib/comments_1_5.txt - Let me know if that works

Hint: Use Winmerge to see the changes that I have made

there seemed to be an error on line 165:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/jspurlin/public_html/dev/pixelpost/1.5/admin/comments.php on line 165

the code being:

PHP Code:

                echo "<div class=\"jcaption\">$admin_lang_cmnt_commentlist $_SESSION['numimg_pp'] $admin_lang_cmnt_comments, $admin_lang_page $currntpg $admin_lang_of $num_cmt_pages<br /> 


which i replaced with

PHP Code:

                echo "<div class=\"jcaption\">$admin_lang_cmnt_commentlist $admin_lang_cmnt_comments, $admin_lang_page $currntpg $admin_lang_of $num_cmt_pages<br /> 


this fixed the problem but I can't be sure if the hack is now functioning as it should as i only have 3 comments on my development blog.
