Activating JComments once event has passed - kind of review mode

Hi David,

Can you provide some super user login details? I'll have a look at this for you.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony

Login is in Site Details.

Hello,

I have coded up a new tag and added it to your website:

{{PAST_OR_FUTURE}}

this outputs past for events which have passed and future for events that are in the future.

So you can now use this for classing, so you want to hide it to future you can use:

.jev_jcomments.future {display:none;}

This CSS used with this Custom Layout string:

<div class="jev_jcomments {{Past or Future:PAST_OR_FUTURE}}"> 

{{JComments:JEV_JCOMMENTS_ENABLE}}

</div>

Will hide it to future events.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony

Thanks for that.

I'm having some difficulties determining where exactly to place the code snippets.
I have managed to get the "Add Comment" button to show, but it shows on future as well as past events.
I can add a comment OK but when I publish it I get an error code

jos-Error: Unknown column 'c.deleted' in 'field list'

I'm wondering if it's possible to have tabs on the event details page so I can show the main event details in the first, comments in the second, and a photo gallery in the third.

Just looking for a neat and simple way for people to reminisce by adding comments and sending in images.

Would appreciate clarification.

Regards, David

tonyp has a slight error in his code which I have now fixed so the comments don't appear until after the event has taken place

Thanks Geraint - that's working OK now, except that I'm having trouble getting the comments to display.

When the comment is published I still get the error message:

jos-Error: Unknown column 'c.deleted' in 'field list'

Also, what are your thoughts on my other question:

Hello,

That looks like a JComments error. Can you please check Joomla! DB is ok Joomla! -> Extensions -> Database -> Fix

And then reinstall JComments.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony - I did as you suggested but the problem is still there - I have contacted JComments and will let you know what they say.

Regards, David

Does the error occur in the artciles too?

Many thanks
Tony
