tinkerdominoI have been struggling with this for some time.
I am using wordpress more as CMS, and so modified my comment form wording from "leave a reply" to something more suitable (example: http://www.quaggabooks.co.za/featured-items/darwin-and-after-darwin-an-exposition-of-the-darwinian-theory-and-a-discussion-of-post-darwinian-questions-3vols)
I also have 2 extra category templates (for featured items and Newsletter).
I would like Newsletter to have a different comment form to the customised one that I have for other sections of my site. But no matter what I do, the wording will not change, it remains "leave a reply".
This is what I did:
I created a template for the category: category-62.php. This works perfectly.
Following tips in the forum, then changed single.php to contain only:
'<?php
if (in_category('62')) {include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_news.php');
}
else { include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_normal.php');
}
?>'
I then created single_normal.php and single_news.php which currently reads as follows and calls commentsnews.php:
'<?php
/*
Template Name: Single News
*/
?><?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="main">
<div class="content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
<?php the_meta(); ?>
</div>
<p class="info">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?><?php edit_post_link('Edit',' | ',''); ?></p>
</div>
<?php comments_template(commentsnews.php); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<p align="center"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?> <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries »') ?></p>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 align="center">Not Found</h2>
<p align="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php endif; ?><?php if (function_exists('sociable_html')) {
echo sociable_html();
} ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<div class="clearer"><span></span></div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>'
Comments_news.php is exactly the same as comments.php, but with different wording (Please comment on this article). Eg: http://www.quaggabooks.co.za/newsletter/march-2009-newsletter-on-the-origin-of-species
But it does not work. I am sure I am doing something really stupid, but i just can't see what! Please help.
