Separating Comments and Trackbacks

  • I’ve seen the plug in that’s supposed to do this, downloaded it, and installed it. But, it doesn’t seem to work and it doesn’t conform to my css. Can someone explain why
    <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
    conforms to my css, but
    <?php function mw_comments('count') ?>
    and
    <?php function mw_trackbacks('count') ?>
    dont conform to it? All I did was replace the top line of code in my index.php file with the bottom two, and all I get is two numbers, and trackback number is wrong.

    Or, what about this tag:
    <?php comment_type('comment','trackback','pingback'); ?>
    Can I use this to get the following in my posts:
    Comments (1) Trackbacks (1)

    Maybe you should contact the author of that plugin.

    That’ll be Eric Meyer. I had trouble with one of his too, I forget which though.

    Well he did write – in one of his first posts – that he learned php in a weekend. ??

    How are other ppl using the comment/trackback separation in their blogs? What did you do with this code:
    <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
    Thanks.

    I decided not to use a trackback counter like that in the end, because so few posts would get trackbacked, and the counter would therefore be redundant for 99% of the time.
    They are displayed in my stats though purely out of interest.

    Nevermind, I figured it out….I couldn’t figure out how to do it with a plugin, so I hacked some of the template-functions-comment.php, if anyone was curious.

    I am curious how you did it, but your profile does not list a webpage.
