NEW COMMENTS PROCESSING

Comments functionality has been removed from the class file and now has its own processor. A new view processor snippet shows the comments on the landing page, and in the popup window. See comments.readme.txt for full usage information.

Installation:

1. Create a new snippet, for this example named " easy2gallery_landingpage_comments " category: same as easy2gallery snippet code:

   define( 'E2G_MODE', 'true' );
   $e2g_path =MODX_BASE_PATH.'assets/modules/easy2/';
   include $e2g_path.'comments_processor.easy2gallery.php';
   

2. Create a new snippet, for this example named " easy2gallery_view_processor " Category: same as easy2gallery Snippet code:

   define( 'E2G_MODE', 'true' );
   $e2g_path =MODX_BASE_PATH.'assets/modules/easy2/';
   include $e2g_path.'view_processor.easy2gallery.php';
   
   return $output;
   

3. You need a landing page, if you don't have one set up yet see the help section in the module for that info.

   Content of the landing page:

   [!easy2? &landingpage=`47` &lp_img_src=`generated` &lp_w=`450` &lp_h=`450`!]
   

   [!easy2gallery_landingpage_comments?
   &ecl_page=`2`
   &captcha=`1`
   &comments_lang=``
   &approved=`1`
   &delay=`30`
   !]
