I am using the comments feature as a mini blog/news section just for the item owner.
I am using the guestbook to collect comments from the viewer. I have added a custom field 'itemidref' to the comments table to collect the item id as I am putting the guestbook form on the item page.
I want a list of the last 5 guestbook comments where itemidref matches itemid.
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 32 --> <CONFIG>comments,time,5,descending,itemidre f={ITEMID},,,0,0,0,0,0,0,,0</CONFIG> {COMMENTMESSAG E} <br /><i>by {COMMENTPOSTERNAME}</i><br />---------------<br /> <!-- END TOPLIST 32 -->
This isn't working. If I use linkid={ITEMID} that works fine but it shows all from the comments and the guestbook.
Guestbooks posts are associated with members, not with links, so you'd be doing usernoteon={MEMBERID}. What you're doing seems entirely different though, so I guess when you say "guestbook" you're not talking about WSN's guestbooks but about something you're creating that you're also calling guestbooks?
If I use linkid={ITEMID} that works fine but it shows all from the comments and the guestbook.
So you're using comments for their usual use, and then also trying to split them off into a secondary guestbook use, but you don't want to use the existing guestbook system?
