Comment Identifier

[WineMan]

I'm helping a friend set up his blog which is also a flat file based system and I am having a problem figuring out what the comment identifier is. If I could figure out what the identifier is for flatpress, perhaps I can then figure out what it is on my friend's system. The url for the posted article is like this: https://domain/blogsystem/post/all-my-notes-organizer if that helps anyone.

Hi,

could it simply be the unique ID of a comment?
For example, take a look at this FlatPress post: https://www.flatpress.org/2022/01/29/cu ... 220-130321 - with the trailing "#comment220220-130321" you will be taken directly to the requested comment when the page loads.

All the best,
Arvid

Thanks for your response Arvid. Yes, that is what I'm looking for, the unique ID of a specific article that will identify which article the comment will be written for. Unfortunately, the link I used in my original post to this forum is the link that is displayed after you click on the article title and it is possible I am not seeing the unique ID.

It's super easy to display it

Add the

Code: Select all

{$id}

variable somewhere to your fp-interface/sharedtpls/entryadminctrls.tpl - once logged in, you can see the ID of each entry.

Let me know if that helps
All the best,
Arvid

Thank you Arvid, I can now see the id of the article. Hopefully I will be able to take that information and apply it to HMTLy for my friend.

UPDATE: Unfortunately I still can't figure out how to get it to work, so it looks like he will have to use the Disqus comments system.

Doesn't HTMLy have some kind of support forum? They might be a better help in this case

Hashover comment system works with HTMLy out of the box so this post can be eliminated.

No need to eliminate
Glad you found a solution!
