Hi!

I am wondering if anyone already has a good and easy way to add comments to the simple plus theme?

I've been trying to copy these functions from other themes but with no luck.
The best result I got was from the cimi theme, you can post and you can see how many comments have been posten but the comments themselfs dont show up on the page.

I really just want a really simple comment interface, just add a comment, just with a name and maybe a website and then a message.

I cant seem to find a good guide for this anywhere either so all help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am not familar with the simple+ theme. Did you read our theming tutorial?

    Well, it's not really veru helpfull since Im no programmet and the theming tutorial seems to think im making a new theme from some kind of basic files and since I just want to modify an already existing theme alot of things arent correct and it doesnt describe it in enough detail for me to be able to implement it. For example it says that there should some javascript in the file, well, I dont have that javascript and it doesnt tell me how to put it there so it works.

    And as far as I can see there is no problem with the code I've already tried but it just doesnt work. or it just doesnt show the comments to be exakt.

    Well, the tutorial should tell you a few things about the basics of Zenphoto themes in general. The comments part is one of those basic things and described on the image.php page section.

    Actually the comments in general do not require any Javascript. That you need some HTML, CSS and a little PHP knowledge to make custom changes is sadly inavoidable. Note that the simple+ theme is a third party theme, so that we generally can't do support for those.

    Did you take a look at the default theme for example to compare how it does it?

    I think i briefly looked at the default theme but thought that it contained so much of everything that it was a little too much. But I'll just have to look at it again and try again I guess:)
