Question [Solved] Hottest Comment Threads Filter Button

Hi,

We'll check and get back to you soon. 

Hello,

Any news about this?

Thanks in advance!

@doctorbr 

You can use the code below to control the display of the filters and sorting buttons:

const commentsCount = parseInt(jQuery('.wpd-thread-info').attr('data-comments-count'), 10);
if (isNaN(commentsCount) || (typeof commentsCount === 'undefined') || commentsCount < 1) {
    jQuery('.wpdf-hottest').hide();
}

@Asti

I can't activate the PHP code. See the error:

We encountered an error activating your snippet, please check the syntax and try again. Error message: syntax error, unexpected identifier commentsCount 

@doctorbr 

This is a javascript code, not the PHP. 

@Asti

Still does not work.

What can be wrong?

@doctorbr 

Try this one:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    const commentsCount = parseInt(jQuery('.wpd-thread-info').attr('data-comments-count'), 10);
    if (isNaN(commentsCount) || (typeof commentsCount === 'undefined') || commentsCount < 1) {
          jQuery('.wpdf-hottest').hide();
     }
});

@Asti

It worked, but Lighthouse accused errors!

What can be done to avoid these errors?

PS. I used your code to create another to hide the comments sorting buttons too...

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
const commentsCount = parseInt(jQuery('.wpd-thread-info').attr('data-comments-count'), 10);
if (isNaN(commentsCount) || (typeof commentsCount === 'undefined') || commentsCount < 2) {
    jQuery('.wpdf-sorting').hide();
}
});

Thanks in advance!

@Asti

I disabled the additional snippet I mentioned and limited your snippet exclusively for posts (location: site wide header).

Errors no longer appear in Lighthouse and I hope I have done nothing that harms my site or the wpDiscuz plugin. 🤔 

But I would still like to hide the comments sorting buttons too!

Please, could you change your code so that the comments sorting buttons are also hidden when there is only 1 comment?

In my opinion it makes no sense to show filters when there is 1 comment. Filters cannot do anything with only 1 comment. 🙂 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! 🙂

The code doesn't only affect the wpDiscuz plugin; the addons that may have added filter buttons also require changes.

The JS code we've provided should work fine.

You can also customize the class.WpdiscuzWalker.php file if you're familiar with PHP. More info here:  https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/customization/custom-template-and-style/

Worked, but I would still like to hide the comments sorting buttons too.

Please, could you change that code so that the comments sorting buttons are also hidden when there is only 2 comment?

Thanks in advance!

@doctorbr

We will add a new function to the wpDiscuz core code so that if there is only one comment, all filtering/sorting buttons will not be displayed. Please wait for the next update (no ETA yet).

I saw that v7.6.22 has fixed the problem and now the filtering buttons are visible only if there is at least one comment.

Thank you very much. 🙂
