BUG IN PRO ADD COMMENT SCRIPT - DOES NOT WORK!

leot

I have integrated pro add comment script into the website. I tried to comment on one page and it worked. Then I tried another and it did not work. I found that the other one had a longer url, and found that in the admin area, the insert comment had a page url reduced to 31 characters after the domain name hence a url id that does not exist. I tried it with a few urls and found that it kept on cutting the page url id to 31 characters after the domain.

So for example:

'test/test.html' <- this works<br />'magnus/valentines-day-openers.html' gets inserted as 'magnus/valentines-day-openers.h' hence creating a non existent url and so the comments would not show on the real page.

ok I have fixed it:

go to database and change comments table column 'what' from varchar(32) to varchar(100)

then go to comments/templates/add-comments.php :

line 56 is:
if (strlen($what) > 32) $what = substr($what,0,32);

change this to:
if (strlen($what) > 100) $what = substr($what,0,100);

Now this will trim the url to 100 characters after the domain. So url with over 100 characters after the domain will break - i doubt there is a url over 100 characters. If you want you could set it to higher amount.
