… NOT! 
Mind you I hacked my first pMachine backend file today!
Not a big deal….. I have set up a 26 things site for my friend Jay (look familiar?) and because PM doesn’t have popup comments I had to find a hack to do it. Found popup stuff easily enough but if you use a different page in the popup window PM still loads the standard comments page when you preview or submit the comments – bummer. I found what I needed to change in the file that contains the commenting backend code OK but it only works for one weblog so that left Jay with a commenting page that didn’t return to itself. I though I could let it go…….
Anyway long story short – I found a command called elseif and figured that might work – and it did! so now Jay and I both have comment pages the way I wanted them to work.
This is all I had to do – change this:
$returnto .= get_pref(“comments_page_$weblog”);
to this (most of this from the web):
if($weblog == “26things”) {
$returnto .= “../26things/pop_comments.php”;
} else {
$returnto .= get_pref(“comments_page_$weblog”);
}
to this:
if($weblog == “26things”) {
$returnto .= “../26things/pop_comments.php”;
} elseif($weblog == “jay”) {
$returnto .= “../../jay/pop_comments.php”;
} else {
$returnto .= get_pref(“comments_page_$weblog”);
}
