I'm about 3/4 done. However, I need to know where the variables such as "$enabled_website" are set. I know about the place in "admin/includes/pages/form_enabled.php", but I'm not sure where they are set for the front-end. Thanks.

What do you mean by "set"? The $enabled_website variable is extracted from the database by the get_settings() function in includes/functions/page.php

Thank you. Exactly what I needed.

I am done! At least I think I am. I'll show you my work tomorrow, so you'll have to wait until then . For now, you can get a program which shows differences between two files, such as Meld, but it's for Linux. Not sure what options Windows has (probably a bunch), but it's not necessary to have one, it'll just help a lot.

EDIT: This might do http://www.diffchecker.com/

Good, I'm looking forward to this feature. I already use WinMerge.
http://winmerge.org/

Edit: You're the only one to have downloaded the beta so far so it would be nice to hear your feedback.

Right, let me switch to Linux as the new Commentics is there. You should definitely promote development better. WinMerge looks ok, but Meld has a slicker interface. They run on the same engine (diff), so it's good.

OK, here are the files that I have edited. It still needs a little work, and I skipped the installer/upgrader. You'll need to create 4 new tables:
"comments" needs to have a "reply_to" column, with a default value of 0.
"settings" needs to have three rows called "enabled_reply" with a default of 1,"default_reply" with a value of 0, and "default_reply_name" with a value of "no one", all of which should be under the form category.

Among the planed changes are changing the form for replies from "type='text'" to "type='hidden'", improving the "currently replying to" text, better layout in "includes/template/form.php", improve the comments, and a couple of other small changes that I can't think of right now.

The only changes to the css that you need are

Code:

.reply_to {
margin-left: 5em;
margin-right: -5em;
}

And

Code:

.reply_link {
visibility: hidden;
float: right;
font-size: 0.8em;
}

.comment_box_1:hover .reply_link, .comment_box_2:hover .reply_link, .admin_comment_box_1:hover .reply_link, .admin_comment_box_2:hover .reply_link {
visibility: visible;
}

Here are the files which I edited. You should compare them with the originals to see what I changed. I'll explain most of it later, but it's pretty self-explanatory.

"includes/template/comments.php" -> [attachment=39]

"includes/functions/comments.php" -> [attachment=40] //Remove 2 in name


"includes/template/form.php" -> [attachment=41]

"includes/app/processor.php" -> [attachment=42]

"includes/functions/processor.php" -> [attachment=43] //Remove 2 in name


/*"includes/Admin/includes/pages/layout_form_enabled.php" ->
"includes/Admin/includes/pages/manage_comments.php" ->
"includes/Admin/index.php" ->
"includes/Admin/includes/pages/edit_comment.php" -> */ //In next post

PS: I ran into some trouble with the attachments. The names are the same, and it only lets me upload five at a time, so I had to rename the files a little, and split the post.

Second part:

"includes/Admin/includes/pages/layout_form_enabled.php" -> [attachment=44]

"includes/Admin/includes/pages/manage_comments.php" -> [attachment=45]

"includes/Admin/index.php" -> [attachment=48] //Has some extra lines from an add-on I'm working on.

"includes/Admin/includes/pages/edit_comment.php" -> [attachment=47]

Now that I look at it, I should've zipped it up. I need to wake up...
If you want me to zip it up, I'll do that.

Also note that "includes/functions/comments.php" has some extra styling that I forgot to remove. I think I used it to create different styles, so it doesn't affect this feature. One important change in that file is that I initialize $box as a blank string, to make the code less complicated. So only the first couple of lines and the lines after ~150 are relevant, but I'm not too sure. Check out the whole thing just to be sure.

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\commentics_1.1 - Copy\comments\includes\template\form.php on line 585

I can't see anything wrong with line 585. However when I compare the file using WinMerge, it gives a warning saying that your file contains a different type of carriage return.

[Steven]

Same error I'm afraid. It works fine with the normal code but not with your code.
