How can I add a second"Post Comment" form on the discussion page?

I was trying to add a second form right after the title but I haven't figured it out. Please help.

I think you should modify this one (in a theme)
applications/vanilla/views/discussion/index.php

Around line 66, you should have (I'm checking this on latest unstable, hence line numbers might not be the same).

if ($Session->IsValid() && $Session->CheckPermission('Vanilla.Comments.Add', TRUE, 'Category', $this->Discussion->PermissionCategoryID)) {
    echo $this->FetchView('comment', 'post');
 }

and add the same thing on the same file where you want it to go.
I'd say around the Event "BeforeDiscussion"

As there is an event, I'd say, maybe you can use a plugin too (hence no need to modify the view if you change themes).

It worked. Thank you so much.

@luc How can I give them individual styles? If I change the CSS it affects both. Nevermind ... got it. Maybe someone else will find this useful.

echo str_ireplace("CommentForm","CommentForm newClass",$this->FetchView('comment', 'post'));

Well, you might be better off copying the comment.php in your theme, to commentnew.php and modify the class there.
With your change, it seems hacky, and if they change the global visual for the box, you will have the same one easily without breaking you. But if they change the class name, your display won't be OK and you will have to change the code again, something that will not be needed if you create your own view.

Ok ... I currently have a comment.php here themes/EmbedFriendly/views/discussion/ is that the one you're talking about?

luc

Are you using EmbedFriendly theme?

smoigecom

yes ... i shouldn't ?

luc

That's OK, that was just to know.
Because otherwise, you should have used another comment file, the one in applications/vanilla/views/discussion/.

But as you're using that theme, yes that's the one you should copy and modify, and obvisouly, if you call it comment_above.php, the FetchView should use comment_above instead of comment.

Apart from Borse hermes, only time could wear everything away. While feeling is being processed by hermes birkin, conflicts would be reconciled as time goes by, just like a cup of tea that is being continuously diluted.
