Comment Fields on the bottom of pages

[Robert Pineres]

Hello Everyone,

First of all, thank you for your time to review and comment as well.

In the comment field on all pages. I am trying to see if there is a way to change the chronological order from oldest to newest. Instead, be the newest on top and scroll down to the oldest. Is there a way to make this change?

Hi @Robert Pineres ,

as an Admin, go to General Configuration → Look and Feel → Custom HTML and paste this in the "At end of the HEAD" section:

<script>
function reverseCommentOrder(){
$comments = AJS.$('#page-comments');
$comments.children().each(function(i,li){$comments.prepend(li)});
}

AJS.toInit(function(){
reverseCommentOrder();
AJS.$('#comments-section-title').append('<a id="page-comments-reverse" href="#">(Change order)</a>');
AJS.$('#page-comments-reverse').css({ 'color':'#999','font-size':'0.65em'}).click(function(e){
reverseCommentOrder();
e.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>

This will display comments in the reverse chronological order and provide a clickable link (Change order next to the comment counter) to change back this order.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Nicolai
