I would like to call a WP plugin that displays the number of comments that a person has posted on my blog. This plugin is called with:
<?php comment_counter();?>
I wanted to use the functions.php file in my child theme to insert this plugin call right after the commenter's name (e.g. if I have posted 100 comments on your blog, my comment would show "Kabitzin (100)" instead of just "Kabitzin")
However, I am not sure how to piggyback off the thematic_comments function that is called in discussion.php in the parent theme. How do I add this plugin code to wp_list_comments() with functions.php?
All I want to do is replace this line:
<div class="comment-author vcard">
<?php thematic_commenter_link() ?>
</div>with this line:
<div class="comment-author vcard">
<?php thematic_commenter_link() ?>
<?php if (function_exists('comment_counter')) { comment_counter('email',' <small>(',')</small>'); } ?>
</div>I tried
function childtheme_comments($comment, $args, $depth) {
===== EXACT COPY OF thematic_comments
<div class="comment-author vcard">
<?php thematic_commenter_link() ?>
<?php if (function_exists('comment_counter')) { comment_counter('email',' <small>(',')</small>'); } ?>
</div>
===== THE REST OF thematic_comments
add_filter ('thematic_comments', 'childtheme_comments');but nothing happened. I also tried add_action instead of add_filter and it made no difference.
