Table of Contents

You can change it so that the reply panel appears with your site layout.

Create a new template named my-comments-reply-tpl.php. Insert your page header, sidebar and footer HTML. Then copy the below code into the template.

In the head section of the page:

<?php
require 'head-inc.php'; 
$separator = ($location[0]) ? '–' : '';
?>

In the body section of the page:

<?php
print "
<div id='tb-wrapper'>
    <div id='ID-$tbid[0]' $comment_type_class[0]>
        <div class='$header_class[0]'> 
            <div class='$author_loc_class[0]'>
                <span class='$author_class[0]'>$author[0]</span> 
                $separator 
                <span class='$location_class[0]'>$location[0]</span>
            </div>
            <!-- <div class='$tbid_class[0]'>  | #$tbid[0]</div>  -->
            <div class='$date_class[0]'>$time[0]</div> 
        </div>";
        
        if ($config['comment_subject'])
            // Show subject line
            print "
        <div class='tb-comment-subject'><span class='tb-subject-title'>{$lang['subject']}</span> $subject[0]</div>";
            
        print "
        <div class='tb-comment-text'>$text[0]</div>
    </div>";


//	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
//	Print the comments entry form
//	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
print "

	<p class='tb-stress'>{$lang['reply_panel_legend']} {$author[0]}</p>";
	require COMMENTS_FORM_TPL;

print "

</div> <!--end of tb-wrapper -->";
?>

Finally, change the reply panel file name in the admin configuration settings panel.
