Sorry to triple post, but there’s no way I can edit my post. I have discovered that I simply forgot to surround {$parent_comment->comment_content} with ”. However, I welcome your opinions on better alternatives to me query!
After some tests, it seems that $parent_comment->comment_content in the sql line is the issue. This is me trying to retrieve a number (id) from the table: bp_activity IF the parent comment (recorded in the table comments > comment_content) has the same content as an entry recorded in bp_activity. Perhaps there’s a better way to be doing this ? 🤔
I still don’t follow, sorry @studiocrafted haha! I understand that my original request cannot be done, which is why my following question was if it is possible to change the scroll direction or amount? Surely that’s possible?
Are we on the same page @studiocrafted or am I overlooking what you’re suggesting? I have no issue with the comment reply position, which appears under the nest. I do have an issue with the scrolling though
It does seem odd, but that’s the nature of nested comments. I’d prefer like you the default action went through a single form and not a different form for every nest.
Whilst that’s not the issue in question, I do agree – that would be good. But my primary concern is the Buddypress scroll position :-/
I have no problem with the form position, as you highland in your first 2 sentences. It’s just that the auto-scroll rolls the page into a position that seems odd. I like the auto-scroll, I just wish it rather scrolled to a point where the form was at the bottom of the page rather than the top.
I’ve turned off the theme, and the action persists, so I believe that’s a trait of Buddypress?
I’m not sure what you’re implying. Here’s a video with nested comments in practice, and you can see my constant desire to scroll back upwards so that I can re-read the message that I’m replying to. The downwards scrolling is almost a distraction, and may lead users to forget what they were going to say?
Rather than remove it, could I change it? The function seems to be operating in reverse logic. By this I mean that, when a user hits the ‘reply’ button, the page scrolls so that the comment box is at the top of the page (leaving the original comment/post above the browser bar and out of sight). I would like the comment box to scroll to the bottom of the page (if that makes sense).
Of course they are – how silly of me. I didn’t check manually. I simply expected them to appear in the ‘media’ tab of the WP backend. My mistake. Thanks @studiocrafted !
Totally understood @studiocrafted. I suspected that that might be the issue. Please do let me know how I might get in touch with you should I choose to hire you for private work ????
