Pagination for a post?

Don’t you have a <page> quicktag above the text area in the Write admin?

lol ah man.. r u serious…ive been *not* staring at that for how long now?

hmm ok yeah thats tight, now is there any way to:

1) only see the comments for the post on the last page
2) only be able to comment on the last page

right now I can comment and read comments on each page of the post…

I’ve been thinking on this, because I find having comments on all “pages” of a paginated post a bit annoying (Ok, I don’t use post pagination all that often, but it still annoys me). What I’ve come up with is to modify the comments_template() tag like so:

<?php if((1 == $numpages) || (get_query_var('page') == $numpages)) { comments_template(); } ?>

thanks kafkaesqui gonna give that a try now!

worked a charm! muchas gracias ??

I’ve been trying to find this comments pagination plugin you speak of, no luck. Anyone?

Arlo, there is no plugin. Kaf posted above the code that should replace the original call for the comment template.

Oops, sorry, Arlo. I’ve misread your request. Maybe this is the plugin: https://www.keyvan.net/code/paged-comments/

WOW! That plug in is perfect. Thanks!

Hello,

This is my problem: I want to use pagination for posts and comments.

I have started to use keyvan, but I would like to put it on the last page of my post only (so readers don’t get distracted by the fun of the comments board). Anyway, I implemented Keyvan’s plugin and tried to simultaneously implement the code above that forces the comment_template to the last page. But I’m having trouble getting them to work together.

<?php if((1 == $numpages) || (get_query_var('page') == $numpages)) { comments_template(); } ?>

<?php if (function_exists('paged_comments_template')) paged_comments_template(); else comments_template(); ?>

This is what I came up with (it almost worked but the other comments pages disappear and go to the 1st post page):

<?php if((1 == $numpages) || (get_query_var('page') == $numpages)) {
if (function_exists('paged_comments_template')) paged_comments_template(); else comments_template();
} ?>

Don’t laugh too hard, I’m very new at coding (a little over a month self-taught).

Please help,

I know this is a layup for most of you out there.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
