[Plugin: SimpleModal Login] How to use this with get_comment_reply_link?

  • I’ve got the plugin working fine in the header, and in the “Leave a comment” box, but the “Log in to reply” link simply takes you to the standard WordPress login screen. So far as I can tell, the file controlling these links is comment_template.php in the wp-includes folder. It doesn’t make use of wp_loginout, so Simplemodal-login can’t use filters to add the class “simplemodal-login” to the link.

    I tried to add the class to

    $link = "<a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='" . get_permalink($post->ID)

    so that it read

    $link = "<a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link simplemodal-login' href='" . get_permalink($post->ID)

    but that didn’t work. Being a newby, I’m out of ideas. Does anyone know the proper way to make these links open in modal windows?

    Fixed it. It helps enormously if you’re actually applying the change to the right line, which should have been

    $link = '<a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-login" href="' . esc_url( wp_login_url( get_permalink() ) ) . '">' . $login_text . '</a>';

    So it’s working perfectly now. One last question: is there a way to accomplish this without changing a core file?
