Est-ce possible de mettre les commentaires Jcomments dans un tab au lieu du bas de l'article ?

Is it possible to put Jcomments comments in a tab instead of the bottom of the article?

Hello

You need either to have some PHP knowledge
or otherwise just try to apply the following without any errors

1. create a custom template in FLEXIcontent backend templates manager by copying an existing
(choose to copy a template that has TABs in item view, e.g. copy template "default")

2. click to edit the "item" layout of the new template

3. go to TAB "edit files" and click to edit the file "item.php"

4. click Load/customize system's default

5. find:

Code:

<?php
		// Find if at least one tabbed position is used
		$tabcount = 12; $createtabs = false;
		for ($tc=1; $tc<=$tabcount; $tc++) {
			$createtabs = @$createtabs ||  isset($item->positions['bottom_tab'.$tc]);
		}
	?>
	
	<?php if ($createtabs) :?>
		<!-- tabber start -->
		<div id="fc_bottom_tabset" class="fctabber group">

Above this line:

Code:

<?php if ($createtabs) :?>

Add:

Code:

<?php		
		// INJECT JCOMMENTS INSIDE A TAB
		ob_start();
		if ($this->params->get('comments') == 1) :
			if (file_exists(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_jcomments'.DS.'jcomments.php')) :
				require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_jcomments'.DS.'jcomments.php');
				echo JComments::showComments($item->id, 'com_flexicontent', $this->escape($item->title));
			endif;
		endif;
		$comments_html = trim(ob_get_contents());
		$this->params->set('comments', 0);
		
		if ($comments_html) {
			$createtabs = 1;
			$tc = 1;  // TAB POSITION
			$tabpos_name  = 'bottom_tab'.$tc;
			$field = new stdClass();
			$this->params->set($tabpos_name.'_label', 'MY_LANG_STRING_COMMENTS');
			$this->params->set('comments', 0);
			$field->label = false;
			$field->name = $tabpos_name.'_comments';
			$field->display = $comments_html;
			$item->positions[$tabpos_name][] = $field;
		}
?>

make sure to set:
$tc = 1; // TAB POSITION

to be a TAB that does not exist , e.g. if you already have 3 TABs
set it to 4
