Hello list,

I'm using the ve_guestbook (v 1.12.1) extension as a commenting system
for
tt_news. I'm still having some problems though for which I don't find a
solution in the manual.

1/ When a comment is longer than the allowed length you get a "[...]"
after
the comment but there's no hyperlink. So this "[...]" is rather useless. I
would like to set a max length for the comment on the article page. Like
that I would see for example 10 comments, each of them max 200 signs. If a
comment is longer the "[...]" link would lead to a page where you can read
the whole comment.

2/ Below the comments you have a "Read more" link, leading to a page where
you
can see ALL comments, also comments connected to other articles. The
problem is double: a/ when I'm reading article x and it's comments and I
click on "Read more" to see the comments (of article x) in extenso I
suddenly see comments of an other article. Quite confusing. b/ On this
Read more page the comments don't have an identification (for example the
title of the article they're connected to). So it's an anonymous bunch of
comments. So also in this respect (showing all comments on the site) this
page is not completely usefull.

Does anyone know how to configurate this properly?

Thanx a lot.
Frank Sonck

You can disable the comment cut off by adding the following TS to your
template's TS Setup:

plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1.wordcut = 0

You can allow an unlimited number of comments to be displayed in one
page by adding the following TS to your template's TS Setup:

plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1.limit = 0
